started pplaying it again now that the last expansion's out and it's still fuc king great. good writing, good gameplay, and most of the sstuff that didn't work at launch's been fixed. the stronghold's way cooler now, classes that kind of sucked feel a lot better and have more interesting talents and what i've seen of the expansion is ggreat. very good game, one of the best of last year, if you haven't played it you should and if you have maybe consider going back

going through as a shark monk now, it sucks that there's only three portraits for them so i had to use this guy again:  monk's great, i do a shitload of damage and it's not as micro-heavy as i'd heard,.it's got a lot of strong passives and the buttons you get when you have wounds are sick as hell

I bought it on Steam sale this week, I'm building a new PC so I'm excited to play it and hopefully recapture some of those Baldur's Gate feels

Can I play this on a crummy laptop or is it more intensive than the old games

ddpends how crummy, it's definitely more intensive than like bg2. i think there's something in the expansion patch that's making my gpu do some work too, keep hearing the fan kick on

I can recognize that it's epic though it's not too bad, like it was one of the first of the genre I've ever played and I managed to get to the end alright. There were a few enemy types that always killed me like banshees. Someone gave me some good advice on those but I forgot

It wasn't like it confused me or anything.. I got pretty far iirc. I just starting getting stressed out about all the numbers

yeah i got that too. most numbers pretty much don't matter on any difficulty but the highest and maybe hard though, only thing you really need to keep an eye on is weapon quality (fine superb etc) and maybe what enchantments you got. otherwise it's more about choosing powers correctly for the fight you're on nd resource management

word. I made my character a super straightforward warrior so I can just let the supporting characters play their roles right

I figured you could play much of the game not worrying about it. But if you want you can work it so you can solo the game as a Druid

Did they make a big update patch or just a bunch of small patches? I really enjoyed this game, but I didn't play it for like 3 months and when I came back it was super hard because I got bad at it. Looking forward to restarting. Also lmao that the best warriors where the little dudes.

I enjoyed this game a lot and spent a whole sunny Sunday playing it and then lost an hour of gametime due to poor saving practices and never touched it again.

I think in a year or something during a dry spell I'll pick up the expansion and try it again, but that wound is still too fresh in my mind. My main dude was a monk and it was very fun, people rarely make such cut and dry CRPG's these days, neat to see.

I wonder if it was the failure of anyone to produce a true sequel to Fallout 2 and then enough time passed that people stopped making them? The last big game in this style was what, the KOTOR games? But they had Star Wars attached to it so they would sell regardless of gameplay

I guess Neverwinter Nights 2 came out as well. That game was a lot of fun but it could never reliably run on my PC and I would get constant crashes. Really killed my enjoyment of it

Really killed my enjoyment of it I've heard that one wasn't too good but I weigh that against the fact that it's judged against Baulders or Icewind or something. But I'm only going to tackle one infinity engine game at a time and I want to play Baulders gate 2 next

tthink it was a bunch of stuff, that's also when the playstations ads were pushing games tto the mainstream and there's not much less mainstream than a crpg. black isle faling apart around then probably didn't help either

Tbh I haven't played too many of these games, so I don't have that much exposure. I just have liked pretty much all of the ones I've played. Also never finished a single one lol
