>Great games with horribly designed final bosses that leave a bad taste in your mouth, ruining your ideal first run experience I'll start, Balders Gate 1.
>>737534619You can't make a fighter boss interesting in AD&D so they were fucked from the get-go.

Were you trying to maintain the illusion that this franchise hadn't jumped the shark yet? Let me shatter that for you.
>>737534619Played through BG1 recently for the first time.Is it the expected experience that most major fights feel like clusterfucks that you have to wipe to a few times before figuring out how to cheese? I know I can partially attribute this to having a party of three fighters and only one mage, but encounters like the group at the top of the Iron Throne at the end of chapter 5 or the doppelgangers at Sarevok's coronoation felt so far beyond my ability to fight "fairly" that I felt like I was fundamentally playing the game wrong somehow.Thankfully the game is generous and gives you a bunch of tools to play around with, so I was never stuck for that long on anything. Ended up killing Sarevok with boots of speed+throwing axe, just kiting his melee ass around and only throwing from a safe distance.
>>737536508Yeah don't worry about it too much. AD&D is remembered fondly because it had great fluff, it's mechanics are retarded and BG1 did nothing to attempt to fix them.
