ah, you found the game to be a grind? Foxhead Send a noteboard - 05/05/2011 09:08:27 AM
rather than the requiring level grinding?

again it depends on the player i think. i really enjoy the exploration aspect. i didn't explore like you though, i sent out parties of two and any sign of trouble i'd bring them all back together again.

and again i refer back to how i find that more realistic, not every area is going to have an amazing weapon or an interesting encounter (although there aren't many areas that are completely empty). there will be places that are uninhabited or boring, that's why when you DO find something, it's special rather than something to sell at the shop for gold

you must gather your party before venturing forth Foxhead - 30/04/2011 10:16:34 AM 626 Views

the best. Particularly since follow-ups having come CLOSE :rollups: LadyLorraine - 01/05/2011 12:25:01 AM 597 Views

To me, yes, but then I'm currently playing it, so not as odd. Legolas - 01/05/2011 12:25:17 AM 603 Views

Xzar!!! LadyLorraine - 01/05/2011 04:21:18 AM 617 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 285 Views
...how could you play the follow-ups without playing the first one? LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 01:18:12 AM 633 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 559 Views
i really recommend going back and playing BG1 then LadyLorraine - 02/05/2011 04:19:21 PM 644 Views
Yeah, exactly... I don't really feel the loss. Legolas - 02/05/2011 10:50:04 PM 708 Views

You have more characters, but they don't participate as much. Fanatic-Templar - 03/05/2011 11:36:28 PM 634 Views
I certainly agree that SoA > ToB. Legolas - 04/05/2011 09:45:15 PM 619 Views
to put it simply, you're wrong about the gameplay. LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 01:42:10 PM 676 Views
hi 5* *NM* Foxhead - 03/05/2011 02:16:17 PM 411 Views
BG was AD&D 2.0 and BGII was 2.5, right? *NM* Zalis - 03/05/2011 02:23:06 PM 297 Views
I believe so. Regardless, it doesn't really change much. LadyLorraine - 03/05/2011 04:19:46 PM 587 Views
It might clarify things a bit if I say I've never played tabletop RPGs. Legolas - 03/05/2011 10:21:34 PM 758 Views
Baldur's Gate requires level grinding though. Fanatic-Templar - 03/05/2011 11:47:30 PM 866 Views
you don't grind Foxhead - 04/05/2011 08:36:12 AM 712 Views
Depends on your perspective I guess. Fanatic-Templar - 04/05/2011 06:49:52 PM 676 Views

so does every game, honestly. LIFE is level grinding. LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 10:15:26 AM 678 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 602 Views
by my definition of grinding, yes, games like BG don't have it. LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 05:41:59 PM 679 Views
No. Specifically, I was commenting on Baldur's Gate compared to Shadows of Amn. Fanatic-Templar - 04/05/2011 07:04:55 PM 716 Views
I wasn't aware you were specifically comaring BG to SoA. LadyLorraine - 04/05/2011 07:43:32 PM 596 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 688 Views

Apparently the archaeologist thing even happens twice, then... Legolas - 05/05/2011 08:45:59 PM 617 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 740 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 701 Views

Diablo 1 is vastly superior to Diablo 2. Just saying. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 02:22:44 PM 409 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 286 Views
Diablo 1 wins in the story and atmosphere department. lord-of-shadow - 03/05/2011 10:37:30 PM 657 Views
If you thought they both had a terrible gameplay... Legolas - 04/05/2011 09:41:46 PM 615 Views
Because they're addicting and I'm exaggerating. I have completed both. lord-of-shadow - 04/05/2011 10:04:40 PM 606 Views
