spiders are cool and one time i happened to catch one spinning a web outside the apartment i lived in at the time so i pulled one of the lawnchairs i was using as furniture at hte time and put it on the sidewalk and smoked a cigar and drank like 6 beers and called up family members as i watched it cumshit web stuff out of its rear end

I was briefly anti-4E based on a quick look at the books at a campus game group. I wanted to make a skill monkey rogue or a utility wizard, and the options were not there in black-and-white spelled out for me. Coming from a 3rd-edition mindset, this just made me throw up my hands and say to hell with it. So, I can get why some people might have initial bad impressions.

It's a balanced combat system. It's got abilities written out like a technical manual. It is a very easy to read and grasp system. And if you want stuff beyond combat, as has always been gently stated in D&D since forever you can just do whatever the DM lets you do. That's a hard thing to wrap your head around if you're not used to free form or story games, and I imagine it led a lot of people to hate it. Also there was something to do with the publishing of the books or whatever?

the disease tracks in 4e were great and should have been the main way any damage at all progressed

just rip out the entire hp and conditions systems, replace it w some version of the disease tracks

a lot of it had to do with taking things away from white men wizards and making minorities fighters good.

i never played baldurs gate 2 past the intro level where you meet minsc

i really should fix that but my discs have long since disappeared

wasnt there a remake sometime recent?

i also never played icewind dale or any of the other games of that era

am i actually missing out on a good game or is everyone nostalgic and will it feel like poo poo compared to modern offerings?

also how much will i miss out on just watching a goon lp of it?

i banged the indian guy a few times but he was a sloppy kisser so i stopped. but then i got drunk and wandered back to his place and knocked on his door. he was like two blocks down from me. i remember that because the guy who owned the house next to him was some kind of custom car maker. for like 3 months he had a loving lambo that was shaped like a woman's shoe parked in his driveway

anyway, i knocked on his door and instead of getting him i got his parents. apparently he had moved out. i assumed he was not out to them so i was like, "Oh, sorry. Ajit used to help me with my math homework and he wasn't answering his phone. Sorry for bothering you. He is a good boy and deffo not gay."

i mean the honest answe is that it has aged a bit, and not everyone likes the isometric thing anymore

But its really a legit good game and its not just nostalgia, i think they came out with an enhanced edition recently but i never bought it so i honestly can't tell you if it's any good. I think i read that the best way to play now is to get the enhanced edition and do some unofficial patch and go hog wild.

also the powers in 4e should have been printed on actual cards so they could have fun mechanics like when you use a power,flip the card over, and on some cards have a whole new power on the back

like ok its impossible to use this attack power two turns in a row, but you can alternate it w this other attack power that does no damage but has a control effect!!!! or like a utility power so that if you want to do yr big sneaky stab again you need to do some actual thief gymnastics (using a thief gymnastics power) to flip the card back over

i was impressed af w 4e and imsad grognards killed it

baldur's gate 1 is also really good and BG2 continues the story of 1, but it's not a requirement you play BG1 first. BG2 is an improvement in every single way.
