To me the graphic details of the original Baldurs Gate series was way better than any of the 3D games. Who cares that I can get a 360 degree view of what's going on.
The BIGGEST requirement to me is to have a great plot !!! Spend more time on plot and story line than on the fancy 3D graphics and you'll have a winner. I remember actually feeling sad once I finished with BG II.
Not sure if there are any developers on this forum but I am hoping for a return to the things that made the original Baldurs Gate games GREAT! |
And here I thought we were through with this debate
It was hardly the graphics that made Baldur's Gate/SoA/ToB/PS:T and on and on, great. It was the fact that the story and game play was good. For the time, the Infinity Engine was, in all actuallity, a damn advanced engine, one that was able to handle the graphics of the time, as well as the serious number crunching required in a Dungeons and Dragons game. A switch to 3D, as many people choose not to believe, will not kill the game. What will kill the game (aside from the munchkin like 3.5 ed. rules... God how I hate them) will be poor design decisions, focus on the action aspect that seems so popular in CRPG's, and the idea that difficulty means throwing 20 Balors the PC's way. 3D graphics, though, are hardly the anti-christ of computer games, as their are many, many games which combine amazing graphics, with good story (well, passable story).
