I got so excited about Temple of Elemental Evil and it was fun for all of 2 weeks and then consistently dungeon delving and not being able to take most of the quests because they were evil quests (My character was a Paladin) really took a lot of the fun out of it for me. Plus...the storyline was NO WHERE NEAR as good as the BG series.
I'm dying for a great old-school traditional turn-based D&D 3.5 rules game with today's graphics and i'm just not sure why they're not being made. Every single RPG nowadays is what they call an "Action RPG" and half of the time, you can't tweak your own stats. It's good to know that others feel the same way. If they make a BG III, it would be one of the happiest gaming days i've had in quite awhile. |
I agree with this as well. I still play bgi-ii a few times every few months (I still have to play it because there are still no games equal to it's play style). I add on mods to make it a little different and I custom make my own characters for fun.
I played through dark alliance 1/2 and they sucked bad. Just a bunch of hack and slash. Only thing I liked about them was playing the alt chars, drizzt ect...
I don't understand the dumbing down of rpg games... I mean the average gamer is 30ish and can afford all types of games. There is a huge market for it yet no one seems to be going after it (for the most part). I mean who really started the computers to get going, geeks/nerds and people who love rpgs. Yet it is going in the reverse direction that it should be going.
I wish they remade the bg series with the nwn2 engine or something along those lines. I would love to see Irenicus in all his evil 3d glory and the whole game of course =p
And if they did make bgiii (lets hope), they would make it like bgi/ii in the sense that you'd be some "random " guy. Not Gorion or anyone like that.
