Convince me to play Baldurs Gate

[Mismo]

So awhile when I bought some other game I got Baldurs Gate for free some sort of special summer sale thing and wonder now if it is really worth playing through. I've heard that it is supposed to be good but it is undeniable old and I can't deny it that I have been somewhat spoiled by newer games.

So dear fellow gamers, convince to play the game.

[TheSporkLord]

Play the game.

[satanbrain]

If you enjoy plot, play it.

If you enjoy plot and story, play it

I just bought the enhanced edition for $5 today from Steam. Apparently Overhaul is having legal issues with the other companies so Steam is the only one that is selling right meow.

But seriously, it's an epic game, been playing it for almost a decade and it still isn't boring. It even got me into the actual D&D a little bit. Played for the first time last Sunday with a buddy.

Don't fucking play it then, if you think graphics matter when you have an infinity engine game waiting for you gtfo of here.

[Sense-Offender]

Who cares about the graphics? It's a fun game with good story.

They really should make a new one.

Hey Mismo, you should really play Baldur's Gate.

[malachi117]

Just play the fucking game and don't make topics just to pander on for attention.

Shit.

[Jackho]

It's good and you own it.

[Trambamboline]

It's Baldur's fucking Gate. Play it you heathen. Then buy BG 2 and Torment: Planescape as pennace for your sins.

[Ecke]

Dark Alliance 2 is better if you got a friend to play with.

Colloquially yes, but every English teacher I've ever known will vehemently disagree with you.

[Jercurpac]

Also, I played an hour or so of Baldur's Gate a while back and it was too archaic for me. If you're not into older cRPGs, especially ones based on the D&D model it's probably not a great place to start. I mean, I'm sure it's a classic, but I feel like it's one that more people talk about rather actually sitting down and playing.

Play Ultima VII instead, if-
-You're a connoisseur of sexual prowess
-You have mastered the art of liquor and regular practitioner of the arcane
-Your vocabulary is that of a perverted sailor
-Your goal is to be the Hero of Ye Ole Legend

D&D Heroes is a similar game that's also great.

Also, the Bard's Tale, but that doesn't have multiplayer.
