Nice blog, keep us updated!

Not a blog because clearly my last sentence indicates that the objective of the thread is to lure anon into discussing the differences between baldurs gate 1 and 2, not to discuss my enjoyment of it. Dumb ass nigga

I like Baldur's Gate 1 ,more of an initiation journey and a big adventure,remind me of classic fantasy story

+Tales of the sword coast>>>Throne of Baal

Enhanced Edition makes the first game better to play too, with the gameplay improvements from BG2. But if you didn't like its story and levels, then you might still not like it.

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 fuck 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. Breaking the way stealth functioned in the original games.

6. Siege of motherfucking Dragonspear.

Higher level campaign
Lots more abilities and items
Faster pacing
Lots of well-written quests

Not that hard to figure out.

based blast haver
i prefer most of the first game's style but the wilderness maps being big empty spaces kinda ruin it. 2's areas are better designed, though that comes with making the exploration feel more scripted and less like an adventure
