I just played them and they a basically modernized spiritual successors. Was it great? Not really, but I thought it was serviceable even if it was a bit too obvious as a bridge between 1 and 2 with unnecessary things like ruining some of the mystery of 2's villain. I also played Siege of Dragonspear and I don't really get the hate. Also wasn't a fan of how you exit the starting area and you are bombarded by tons of requests for help. Everyone, is suddenly as strong as Elminister? Like, I get your character and some of those you fight, but the mooks too? Without an auto-buff mod, fights just end up become a tedious chore because without the buffs, they just take too long. I much prefer the lowkey/low level adventure of BG 1. Personally, 1 > 2 (especially with enhanced edition bringing some of the improvements of 2 into 1). I never thought they were spectacular on release, but I played the enhanced editions a few months ago and I like them so much better now. BG2 and its expansion are the games that most players are thinking of when the praise the Baldur's Gate series, and I'd argue that they have aged pretty well in most respects, although I've been playing BG2 for nearly my whole adult life and can't really pretend to understand what it'd be like to approach it cold in 2023. So there's essentially no distinction between importing your character and just making a new character and then, say, using a save editor to make it match your BG1 PC.Īnd yeah, re: the OP, BG1 is a very dated game, and if Bioware had never made BG2 it would be a minor footnote in the history of cRPGs. that may not be true of your BG1 playthrough. Literally nothing about your BG1 playthrough goes through except your character itself - the game has no memory of your choices in BG1, and in fact makes a bunch of assumptions about who your party members were, who is alive, etc. I THINK BG2 is better in this aspect and I hope I'm right :Pįor whatever it's worth, there really isn't all that much reason to do a character import in BG2. By today's standards it feels so weird sometimes how you just are not presented with right dialogue options even with high charisma. Not something like "Why do you want to kill them?". Your only two options here are "Okay" or "No!". There's a dialogue and one person just tells you to let them kill the other guy. Example - someone is chasing someone else. Dialogue options are often missing something what I feel is really important. Maybe some time in the future when there will be an opportunity for that. But what's worse - there is really small amount of nice party banter and dialogues. And while main story is good, the pacing isn't quite right. Why? Because what I enjoy the most in games like this are story and dialogues, character interactions. Now I want to beat both games before BG3 and after 20 hours in BG1 I must say that modern RPGs really made it worse. So many things to do, cool story and characters. And I remember it was epic, amazing, cool. For me it was one of the first game I've played. Still good, but not as amazing as I remember.Īs with many people I assume, this was my "first big RPG".
