That's not true, and you know it's not true - you've talked about playing games that don't have it lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 04/05/2011 01:18:51 PM
Unless you just have a very broad and loose definition of "grind".

Besides, if someone complains about grinding, saying that "every game" and "life" have grinding doesn't make it any less bad. Even if it were true, it would simply mean that all other games and life also have this negative trait.

So I gotta know if this is happening to anyone else... LadyLorraine - 30/04/2011 01:22:24 AM 1017 Views
I pretty much just hear... MightyYT - 30/04/2011 07:57:10 AM 718 Views
you must gather your party before venturing forth Foxhead - 30/04/2011 10:16:34 AM 686 Views
oh god....I hope that narrator makes lots of money. He DESERVES it LadyLorraine - 30/04/2011 10:01:01 PM 681 Views
This behaviour must not continue. Feel the burning stare of my HAMSTER and change your ways! beetnemesis - 30/04/2011 11:43:38 PM 756 Views
the best. Particularly since follow-ups having come CLOSE :rollups: LadyLorraine - 01/05/2011 12:25:01 AM 662 Views

To me, yes, but then I'm currently playing it, so not as odd. Legolas - 01/05/2011 12:25:17 AM 670 Views
live by the sword live a good long time! Foxhead - 01/05/2011 01:30:21 AM 788 Views
Xzar!!! LadyLorraine - 01/05/2011 04:21:18 AM 684 Views
I've never played the first one - sounds like there are some good lines there too. *NM* Legolas - 01/05/2011 09:44:48 PM 320 Views
...how could you play the follow-ups without playing the first one? LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 01:18:12 AM 698 Views
I never played BG1 and still REALLY enjoyed BG2. The story seemed a clean enough break to "get it." Zalis - 02/05/2011 01:14:23 PM 626 Views
i really recommend going back and playing BG1 then LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 04:19:21 PM 712 Views
Yeah, exactly... I don't really feel the loss. Legolas - 02/05/2011 10:50:04 PM 777 Views
BG1>BG2>tob Foxhead - 03/05/2011 09:37:31 AM 733 Views
You have more characters, but they don't participate as much. Fanatic-Templar - 03/05/2011 11:36:28 PM 704 Views
I certainly agree that SoA > ToB. Legolas - 04/05/2011 09:45:15 PM 682 Views
to put it simply, you're wrong about the gameplay. LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 01:42:10 PM 736 Views
hi 5* *NM* Foxhead - 03/05/2011 02:16:17 PM 449 Views
BG was AD&D 2.0 and BGII was 2.5, right? *NM* Zalis - 03/05/2011 02:23:06 PM 329 Views
I believe so. Regardless, it doesn't really change much. LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 04:19:46 PM 651 Views
It might clarify things a bit if I say I've never played tabletop RPGs. Legolas - 03/05/2011 10:21:34 PM 818 Views
Baldur's Gate requires level grinding though. Fanatic-Templar - 03/05/2011 11:47:30 PM 933 Views
you don't grind Foxhead - 04/05/2011 08:36:12 AM 777 Views
Depends on your perspective I guess. Fanatic-Templar - 04/05/2011 06:49:52 PM 737 Views

Re: patience is rewarded Fanatic-Templar - 05/05/2011 07:31:01 PM 644 Views
so does every game, honestly. LIFE is level grinding. LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 10:15:26 AM 741 Views
That's not true, and you know it's not true - you've talked about playing games that don't have it lord-of-shadow - 04/05/2011 01:18:51 PM 664 Views
by my definition of grinding, yes, games like BG don't have it. LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 05:41:59 PM 741 Views
No. Specifically, I was commenting on Baldur's Gate compared to Shadows of Amn. Fanatic-Templar - 04/05/2011 07:04:55 PM 779 Views
I wasn't aware you were specifically comaring BG to SoA. LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 07:43:32 PM 661 Views
Ah, sorry then. Yes, it was in reply to the improvements of BG2 to BG1. Fanatic-Templar - 05/05/2011 12:45:55 AM 752 Views

Apparently the archaeologist thing even happens twice, then... Legolas - 05/05/2011 08:45:59 PM 678 Views
I do have the impression that SoA (and certainly ToB) swings a bit the other way regarding mages. Legolas - 04/05/2011 09:40:12 PM 805 Views
Yes. It's not the fault of the games though, they're using D&D rules, so it comes with the territory Fanatic-Templar - 05/05/2011 12:25:21 AM 765 Views
ah, you found the game to be a grind? Foxhead - 05/05/2011 09:08:27 AM 824 Views
Diablo 1 is vastly superior to Diablo 2. Just saying. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 02:22:44 PM 445 Views
As I said I haven't played the former, but I really rather doubt it. *NM* Legolas - 03/05/2011 10:22:07 PM 320 Views
Diablo 1 wins in the story and atmosphere department. lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 10:37:30 PM 717 Views
If you thought they both had a terrible gameplay... Legolas - 04/05/2011 09:41:46 PM 679 Views
Because they're addicting and I'm exaggerating. I have completed both. lord-of-shadow - 04/05/2011 10:04:40 PM 663 Views
