I just tried to play this series for the first time and was taken aback by how terrible the writing is, why do people like this garbage? Is it some sort of meme I don't understand? Planescape, Fallout and Arcanum absolutely obliterate this turd in terms of writing.

It's not a serious RPG. The further back you go the more you'll notice most '90s RPGs aren't dark and edgy.

BG's writing definitely shows its age, but the story itself might hold up. Honestly, I only completed the main story once. I was thinking about giving it a thorough, adult replay, but I've got a shitload of over things. I installed the original Fallout since I can't get New Vegas working properly on my computer.

No actual info, but achievement calculations put Steam numbers at about 5k. Personally I doubt combined sales are above 50k, probably around 25~30k.

If it sold worse than AoD or Underrail, there just might be some justice left in the world. I'd love if it sold less than SitS, but that's probably asking too much.

>hate romances
They're just expanded character quests in BG2. Jaheira's is getting over the death of her husband and her loyalty to you vs the Harpers. What's to hate about it?
>>
>>335818042
Unfortunately the person that drew these never did every party member. There's only portraits for Jaheira, Viconia, Haer'Dalis, Valygar, Imoen, Edwin, and Aerie.
>>
>>335819082
Because you haven't had any romance dialogues?
>>
>>335819268
If your character qualifies for romance there is absolutely positively no way to end it unless you go out of your way to act like an asshole, or know how the romance mechanics work and use it to your advantage.

That's pretty much it. Quality I couldn't care less about, it's not like every other medium isn't chock full of shoehorned, badly written romance.

This review is a pretty decent summary of the whole ordeal. Writing is meh and the expansion is linear and it had some controversial lines. Overall though it is more BG
>>
>>335802237
Why does minsc look like a stereotypical russian?
Why is edwin so thin? Why does viconia look ugly as hell? Why does Xzar look appealing? Why do none of these adventurers have any form of scars? Say what you want of the original portraits but the scars and other features fit those characters role, with the tankier party members having more scars, and newbie adventurers looking cleaner.

>>335821519
The writer called BG a very sexist game that she wanted to address in the expansion. That's not a good way to get your audience's good will.

Other than that, it is more linear than motherfucking ToB, removes half of the original companions (but keeps all 8! of Beamdog's OCs) because they absolutely must have party banter or some shit and writing is hard (but adding 8 fucking romances to a less than 10 hour long expansion is A-OK), the story is dumb as hell, and really the game does nothing special. And of course the UI is crap, and plenty of bugs on release
>>
>>335822374
At leas ToB had sarovak which was cool. Also it had viconia turning neutral so things were gained in overall character arcs.

>>335821519
Turns out that people autistic enough to buy an expansion to a 15 year old game don't really appreciate it when you re-write the characters that they like. Especially when you do it poorly.

Joke's on you, I actually checked it. It takes nearly until the very end of Jaheira's romance to get this dialog option:
>Very much so, Jaheira. You are an integral part of the party.
>JAHEIRA: ...of the party? So, business alone has kept you with me. Very well... Best I know now, before... Well, that is quite enough of that. Let's go, shall we?

You know what kind of options you get before that?
>And is there some reason I should have to suffer by hearing you whine about it?
>Bah, the dead are gone. You are probably feeling a bad bit of beef, or a half-cooked potato.
>Will you cut that out! It's a wonder the rest of us get any sleep at all!
And basically different versions of "shut the hell up".

No anon! A female character can't have any flaws or else it's sexist. But they also can't be perfect because that is sexist.
>>
>>335824072
The rule is that they have to be flawless personality-wise, that is, a condescending cunt to everyone, but must not LOOK flawless or else it's sexist.

the best part about this is that minsc is probably the most iconic baldurs gate male character, and happens to be a dumb pile of muscle.
>>
>>335824495
And you want to know the most popular female character? Viconia an evil character from a female oriented society.
>>
>>335824735
not so sure if she's the most popular female character but she was the best cleric or druid in the original game, prolly in bg2 as well
>>
>>335822863
That's just if you want to go through the whole questline but not romance Jaheira. There's plenty of ways to break off/avoid the romance in a non asshole manner especially after what happens in Harper Hold.

not really sure, i just feel like imoen,jaheira,mazzy and viconia are roughly on the same level.
for some reason branwen and shar-teel are always forgotten but i guess that's partly because not everyone gets them. branwen having a clear reason, people don't necessarily know about using the stone-to-flesh scroll on her.
also viconia,jaheira and imoen are in both games which sort of boosts their reputation

Viconia: For people who are into necrophilia or abandonment.
>>
>>335826701
It is because she understands the drow traditions. In drow societies if a female feels attracted to a male he must obey her and sleep with her to not displease the matron mothers.
>>
>>335826871
I know that anon, I just like the fact that viconia is perfectly fine with you sleeping with another woman, even in TOB.

Drow just see love in a completely different way.
She is fine with it but you can see that being chaste is still more pleasing to her.

>>335826701
If you somewhat unwillingly do it while romancing Jaheira it doesn't break the romance.
>>
>>335827309
I've never actually romanced jaheira, I either go with "muh wings" If I'm a paladin or viconia if I'm an edgelord sorcerer. I might replay it if her romance is any good.
>>
>>335799842
It's supposes to be a fun fantasy adventure. Not some grimdark shit like dark souls
>>
>>335827290
Im still kind of disappointed the game wont let you play as a drow, magic resistance in exchange for a very low starting reputation would be fair. Your character not knowing much of drow society would still make sense considering bhall spawn.
>>
>>335827465
It's the longest one and it ends a little abruptly in SoA but I still like the overall arc. Buying her the locket in the docks district was cute too.
>>

>>
>>335827290
Since we are on the topic of viconia, I havent played TOB yet, can I keep her evil instead of her becoming neutral?
>>
>>335827602

Because you would be lynched in every town like it almost happened to Viconia.
>>
>>335827602
I often roleplay a half-drow that doesn't know the drow customs since he was raised by human monks. Then viconia introduces him to it.
>>
>>335827770
Yes you can, you make her neutral if you have chosen right dialogue choices through a whole game.
>>
>>335827781
After viconia joins a party though she has almost no real problem, it's more that she might have actually committed a crime. Even then they could make you start out at a rep where there is a low chance to be attacked. Make you have to do good to be accepted like dritzz.
>>

>>335827875

I don't think a mask is too strange, especially for an adventurer who may want to use it for defensive capabilities or enchantments.
>>
>>335828401
Most evil characters have quite sad endings. But Keldorn's is the one that made me shiver the most. Manly tears were shed.
>>
>>335825101
I'm not saying there are no ways, but that there is basically nothing that doesn't require meta-knowledge. Yes, if you kick her out of the party the romance ends. But how are you supposed to know that? Yes, depending on how you handle the bandit attack, you can easily break it. But the problem is, the romance is so closely connected to her companion questline that you have basically no way to predict whether your option will end the romance, or end in her dying, leaving the party for good, and so on. Not without meta-knowledge.

There is no reason why there can't be dialog options that clearly indicate your intention to end or not even start the romance without being a total dick about it.
>>
>>335828629
I like keldorn, he's a drow racist but who isn't? I feel like his ending was fitting for him, he was getting old and it would be better for him to leave with one last hurrah.
>>

Nobody trust a man in a mask, just accept that your drow pc would be shot down meters from the city gates.

Yes. Half-elves only get to live for about two hundred years. This is why mixed-race couples are bad. Not only you know for certain one parent will die of old age while the kid is still on the mental level of a fucking child, but the kid will have to live with the knowledge that he'll kick it long before his other parent.

>>335831320

I am quite sure I killed my romance with Viconia by talking stupid shit with the illusionist gnome.
Guess thats what I get for playing chaotic neutral.
>>
>>335831331
It'll get you through most of Shadows of Amn fine, once you hit every enemy and their dog's become immune to backstab you essentially become either a shit tier fighter or shit tier archer with shitty thieving abilities Which isn't so bad since the game is pretty much designed with Imoen, a level 7 thief in mind thus there's lots of shit to increase their thieving skills

Also, I am pretty sure just removing them from your party once ends romances.

You sure? I remember how Viconia went into an argument with Jan and then she ask me to support her.
>>
>>335831740
>good fighter in team
Decent at best but yeah, dual wielding with a 2 apr weapons in the off-hand is a solution, the ninja-to you can buy from the bonus merchant in the copper coronet is pretty good for that (can't use it before getting UaI though)
Also Spike traps
>>
>>335831996
>At least I am 100% sure that happens with Jaheira
Actually, that's not true. There comes a point in her romance, shortly after halfway through, after which removing her no longer affects anything. Not even if you leave her there for several in-game years.
>>
>>335832050
Yes i did that dialogue too and now in late game viconia is in love with my character. So don't worry. If you still do you can open eekeeper/shadowkeep (depends of version you play on) and go to save's global values. Find viconiaromance variable. 1 means it is on early stages, 2 means that you are together in love, 3 means that you screwed up the romance.

How do you get romance dialogues in dungeon areas?
>>
>>335835834
This is a mod that adds extra lines besides the original ones. These mostly are about showing affection to each other so the romance never ends as it did in vanilla when the last dialogue was done. So it's a technically a regular dialog. Check npc flirt pack. So far it is very good and adds content to all 4 romancable npcs.

Yeah. Fighter/Mages are more OP but Blade is still really strong.

I might make a fighter/mage but balancing the ability scores out is a pain. I always feel like im gimping something. Is wisdom needed? I know charisma doesn't matter since there is an early game ring.
>>
>>335843185
No you don't need wisdom. Also don't get me wrong Blades are OP too, it's just that Fighter/Mage is more OP.

No. You can use wisdom potions for occasional wish spell.

Well I finally finished turning these into portraits. I redid all of them and tried to get rid of some of the empty space at the top so hopefully they look better now. Just drop them in your override folder.

Linear with no backtracking
Badly rewritten characters
Imoen fucks off for no reason
Story driven as fuck, no real time to dick around
Pointless magic items
Badly written dialogue and story
Story doesn't even make sense
Can't side with the antagonist even though it gives you the option to
DS2S tier badly designed combats just throw in fuckloads of zombies, that's fun
Outstanding amount of bugs including game crashing/save destroying bugs
Shoehorned in Political shit including turning Safana into "just a bitch who has maybe 9 charisma".
Ugly UI/map changes
Immersion breaking screen focus which is designed for the tablet version
New class is okay but the features in it outside of spontaneous casting are worthless.
New companions are generally pretty lame.
Final battle is either way too easy or stupidly fucking difficult depending on your dialogue choices.
Everyone wants to either ride your dick or spit in your face.

This is off of the top of my head so it's a little scrambled but I think it's most of the problems.
>>
>>335828608
Just talk to her with anybody else but yeah that encounter was fucking stupid.
5k exp though which is enough to level you up a decent amount depending on your class if you solo the bitch.

>>335860846
>>335860992
What makes Berserkers fun?
>>
>>335861063
All the strength of a normal fighter and some resistences. Going beserk is just a massive burst of power that can be useful. its also one of few classes that benefits from slayer form if you are evil.
>>
>>335861063
>>335861189
Its basically fighter but better since there arent any downsides.
>>
>>335861189
I'm thinking of playing some sort of neutral character. I always end up doing some good things along the way.
>>
>>335861063
Nothing, none of the fighter types are fun, they just autoattack.
>>
>>335861314
Beserker can be good for neutral, and slayer could still be used in moderation. Really beserker is the go to class if you want to be a pure tank.

You really should only go to one of two extremes.
Either a six man party or solo.
Solo balances out due to higher xp going to you
6 man is intended size.
3 man is possible but you aren't getting the dps or the xp the other choices have.

I would like to go on a tangent about baldurs gate

I like the way it's morality works, either way you beat bhall's plan for you

Good: you completely deny what he intends for you refusing the power and still overcoming from your pure will and mortal ability

Neutral: I don't know I never play neutral

Evil: You accept bhall's power but bend it to your own intent instead of allowing him to lead you to your own death.

No matter what it pisses him off, and I love it.

Good and neutral party members are best, but you can have a party made up of any allignment as long as the party leader has enough charisma to have them get along.
>>
>>335862954
Are you playing BG1 or BG2? Party members are much more fleshed out in BG2 although there are mods for that for BG1. For BG1, Jaheira's anti-mage spells can be useful but you don't really get very many good weapon choices for druids in BG1 and Edwin's amulet makes him the best mage in the game. Minsc is a good martial character and you can give him Spider's Bane and have him run through webs and kill everything that's stuck. Branwen is a good cleric you can get early on in the carnival and I always stick with Imoen. Also >>335863178 is total garbage and not in BG1
>>
>>335862819
There is really no reason why a party with 2-4 members wouldn't work.
The game is easy enough that if you're on the ball with crowd control and buffs you will just fine.

Maybe when they make their shitty expansion for it. Doesn't change the fact that BG1 and 2 are identical to the originals with all the "problematic" content they have with a few NPCs sprinkled in.
>>
What do you guys think are the most "powergaming" classes? Everyone seems to love Kensai/Mage and Cleric/Ranger. Feel like playing through again with a buddy and being stupidly strong for the hell of it.

>>335866137
For BG1 no EE kit is more broken then inquisitor
Since mages are the only thing mildly threatening.
BG2 probably kensai/mage showing that humans will always be best race.

>>335866086
And I hope it stay that way but I cant stay calm, so to speak, and I cant trust beamdog.

A lot of games do that "romance ends after last dialogue" thing, and I hate that. If you're going to put romances in your game, you should have flirty stuff like that and other things where the characters actually have a continuing relationship rather than making it more like a quest that just ends after the final stage.
