Guess its just because the younger population playing games are so used to playing trash like tomb raiders and such that everything must be in 3d to please them now. Yay, Baldur's Raider III. Just replace Lara with some tight arsed elf woman with two swords. |
So the engine is more reason to replay then party interaction, quests, story and all thoese things for you?
For me - the IE engine is about the last reason why I play BG/BG2, compared to gameplay.
The game engine has very little (if anything) to do with gamequality if the developers continue to have focus on the gameplay and writing.
In fact much more gameplay is possible when going 3D,.
Besides - I'm 27, so don't think I've never gamed in neither 2D or even text-based.
