Baldur's Gate

With all this attention on Baldur's Gate 3 - having won a few awards a couple of days ago - I've wondered about the rest of he series.
How are the two previous iterations like, overall? Would you recommend them?

            bg1 and 2 are good. 3 is worse in writing and every aspect that encompasses but better in gameplay, which means it's shit because gameplay in a crpg doesn't matter at all- only real fun i have in crpg gameplay is when you can numbers autism which you can't really do in bg3, it's pretty simple.

    Bg3 is one of the worst games ever made. Bg1 is comfy and will probably never be matched. I still haven't forced myself to play bg2 yet because the starting dungeon always destroys my interest. I will play it some day. Bg3 is an abomination that shouldn't exist

    People always talk about how great 2 is, which it is, but you never see them talking about the expansion. So yeah - just drop it once you beat the core game, unless you want a huge nose dive in quality and gameplay or want some more lore connecting BG2 to 3 (saverok and his minons, basically).

    BG1 and 2 take a lot to get into. The systems are clunky and I fricking hate the formation options. The battles are just ass. Overall, I struggled to even get into BG 1+2 because of the dated look, the 'comedy' in each game is late 80s humor and the game just feels old.

    Chances are if you like Larian's style you will not like BG2 and definitely not 1. If you're just a CRPG fan then they're definitely worth a full run on one character.

    Any significant reasons why the original is objectively better than the EE?

      >Any significant reasons why the original is objectively better than the EE?
      Beamdog is a guilty of a number of different crimes. Here are the major ones.

      1. The Enhanced Editions are essentially a collection of free mods that had existed for nearly twenty years. Beamdog gathered them all up, slapped "Enhanced Edition" on it and resold it as a new product. There's very very little in the Enhanced Editions that wasn't already out there, and most of it is stuff you don't want (like obnoxious character outlines).

      2. The games didn't sell so well and the originals were still far outselling them, even twenty years after their release, so Beamdog had EVERY digital distributor stop selling the originals and ONLY sell the Enhanced Edition. If you want to buy a digital copy of the originals now, they're "bundled" into the Enhanced Edition. Now these scumbags can claim sales from people just wanting to buy the originals as their own.

      3. The infamous 600+ bugs on launch. The game is still riddled with bugs (as even a perfunctory glance over their forums show) but the fact that it took nearly two years for them to get a game that had been working fine for 20 years to reach playability after launch is telling of their wild incompetence.

      4. This is where we get to the ones that really piss people off. Beamdog couldn't just remaster the game, they had to frick with the content too. New dialogue for existing npcs like Jaheira, Viconia, Safana, Kivan, et cetera was written in to make the characters more progressive and leftist friendly. Beamdog shills will argue that "adding content isn't changing content XDDD" but it is when the new content changes the core personalities of the existing characters. This is in addition to adding a slew of their own LGBT (hitherto there were none in Baldur's Gate) NPCs, all flooded with OP attributes and magic items to encourage people to play them despite their cancer.

      5. Siege of motherfricking Dragonspear.

        Ah. The Reforge treatment, eh? Or something similar, with extra shittyness; that sucks. Any mods that could bandage the mess?
        And I can assume it's the same case between BG2's Complete and EE, then?

                Does it differentiate much from the other two games (in terms of gameplay, or narrative)? genuinely asking.

                Yes? It's like asking if you would recommend OT Star Wars. It's a classic for a reason.

                True, but there are certainly examples that people may disagree on; Witcher 1 is an example that few may not deem worth playing it (which I disagree).

    I've tried to play both 1 & 2 several times but just can't get into them. I recognize they're obviously very good games and I'd have loved them when I was younger, but they really have aged quite a bit.

    I'd say you should play them after having recently played a bunch of other games from the time period, so the QoL differences aren't as noticeable.
