noahf Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Just looking for opinions on whether the old Baldur's Gate games are worth checking out for a hardcore Dragon Age fan. I've only heard good things about them, but they are quite old. Are they outdated and worthless compared to DA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Just looking for opinions on whether the old Baldur's Gate games are worth checking out for a hardcore Dragon Age fan. I've only heard good things about them, but they are quite old. Are they outdated and worthless compared to DA?Totally worth getting/playing ("Again", even, if you already have!) IMO. If you look-up my profile, you'll see that I list "IWD" as my favorite game. Recognize that they date from another era in PC capabilities, (esp. graphics), and with a different main thrust. For most of each individual one of the BG series, you don't know "what's going on." So figuring that out is the main motivation for the PC. In DA:O, you already know it's all about the Blight/Defeating the AD, so the focus is much more on the PC's "character development and inter-character relationships." Different, but both excellently written ("Not talkin' DA:A here, so don't start with me!" :laugh: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
