I would like to have a Baldur's Gate thread...

I would like to have a Baldur's Gate thread. BG2 is my favorite game of all time and I generally enjoy these threads whenever they don't devolve into shitflinging about SoD.

What makes this game so good? Why did Bioware later fall so low?

I like those portraits.

>BG2 is my favorite game of all time
I bet you like the EE editions too.

OP here. They don't add anything worthwhile, but aside from SoD they don't really screw anything up, either.

So they are not actually enhanced versions but cheap cashgrabs?

A sense of adventure in a game that knew what adventure was. It knew when to be silly and when to be serious and balanced them out appropriately. Great music, great atmosphere, a thing to get lost in for days or weeks.

though if you wanna talk specifics it's the high level high fantasy thing that really seals it for me. You go to crazy neato places and rain down storms of meteors and gib dragons and shit instead of grimdark low fantasy political bullshit that's all the rage these days.

I mean I liked DAO, it was a good, even great game. But it was a first step down the wrong path.

They advertise the EE as adding thousands of new things, but the only noticeable additions are a few new kits and a few new characters who range from terrible to okay. "Cashgrab" is a fair word.

I think I'm burned out on BG. I can't be bothered to start a new run.

I had a lot of fun with the starting town and quests there. Throne of Bhaal just didn't feel right though.

Who is kensai/mage here?

Too much effort.

meme class

Best girl

Is waifu team viable? What class is best for my character to fit into such group? I really want to explore the dialogues which occur when 3 girls fight for my dick.

It's viable but not ideal. There are no good female warrior types except maybe Mazzy, and she's probably the single worst warrior in the game.

you'll never be more important than MUH DEAD HUSBAND who was just as shit as her

WORST
>viconia
best waifu of all time, she gets poisoned by other drows after giving you a hot daughterfu :^)

So my character should be a fighter or paladin to fit that role?

So the PC needs to be a warrior class?

Yes.

Patritian taste. Though bhaalspawn having son with Viconia is canon as i remember. I have got many moments of shivers from emotion that was within the dialogues.
Bhaal's son never forget his dark maiden.

Jaheira's ears are too pointed for a half-elf.

Even too long for an elf. Elves in forgotten realms don't have ridiculously long ears.

Elves are for .............

Killing.

Fuck yes Baldur's Gate.
I started a new BGTutu playthrough a few hours ago as a lawful good monk.
I imagine him as a pretty laid back person who seeks to make the world a better place, one small task at a time. Sort of like master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda, haha. Also enjoys training his body and mind when resting between adventures.

...

Around Elves, watch yourselves.

Piss poor taste right here.

Her ending is really sad though. It kinda fits her character but makes me feel all the development didn't matter much.

Throne of bhaal was rushed a bit to be honest and gaider even said that.
