| BG series became a legendary classic we all compare other RPG to. And even "action-adventure" games as well. Icewind Dale and Torment were excellent games but BG was better. I ask myself what it was that made me love this game and play it again and again? I did not care much about the main epic Bhaal-spawn thing (it was mildly interesting in the original BG while there was a mystery to unveil) but the quests were excellent and the world was a sheer joy to explore. However, I think the best part was NPC, so memorable, so alive, so imperfect, so beloved. What other game gave us such colorful characters?
When you had a party it was a very real thing, with attitude, romance, and drama. The script was absolutely hilarious!
I wish they would make another game this caliber.
I don't believe we will see BG III though. The story is over. The legend remains. |
