I don't know why Planescape's is considered that bad. It's just BG1 but instead of hobgoblins it's bandits. It's the same shit. You stack thac0, get a good weapon, wrangle your shitty retarded pathfinder ant character and click on the enemy.>spellseverytime i play bg1 i just cast sleep, fireball, shield and arcane missile. it's not that complicated
The gameplay is ass, but the writing is soo fuckin' good...

AD&D combat isn't very deeptrying to actively fuck over the player in a fight is something a good DM would never do
the only time i legitimately got angry at those games was when the rogue didn't detect the trap in time so the mage got anally raped by a fireball or when the pathing of the squishy got stuck on a rock and he aggroed a bunch of gnolls. really, when i think about it, a party without mages is infinitely better
>>12525436>a party without mages is infinitely betterthe way saving throws work in these old games is that it's just down to chancethere's no reason to have a pure mage or INT to make enemies "save or die"A 5th level mage dual classed to a fighter will have the same effectiveness at throwing out Slow as a level 20 single class mage would, yet the dual classed mage can now use weapons to hack slowed enemies to pieces
