C&C in Baldur's Gate 1

[BethesdaLove]

It is unfair to consider comparing it to the standards of the genre it was originally designed for?

I highly doubt that BG was developed as an RTS for a very long time. It may have existet as one on paper.

Fallout and Planescape: Torment dialog both whip the pants off of BG's.

1. Hello, give me quest.
2. Hi, assface, prepare to die.
3. Bye.

I didnt mean c&c in dialog but the writing.

Also, in Fallout, there was this neat little keyword system that allowed you to dig for more info from certain NPCs

Pity, it provided shit on additional info and if then only on like 2 npc in the whole game. What a great feature.

Again, as noted, half the "gameplay" consists of trying to get your NPCs to do something useful according to your orders and not try to run into scenery.

I cant remember to encountere a bug where my npcs didnt do something i told them.

Fallouts combat: Shoot man1, shoot man2, shoot man3. Now dont go and tell me that you had to count ap, that you could run away, that you could run around corners, because I can do the same for BG and Fallout wont win in this one...

The "scripts" were some of the biggest horseshit around given the inherent basic flaws of the Infinity Engine.

wat. I give up. Arguing on the interwebz == fail. Simple example: the scripts allowed the enemy to differ between targets, like killing mages or archers first. Modern rts dont do it because the AI sucks. Have you seen Starcraft or Total Annihilation Ai? Its is best at cheating, thats all...

Oh, damn, are you serious? I grew out of stock fantasy and ubermunchkinism more than 25 years ago.

Bullshit! Nobody grows out of it. You just get tired of it or create a mental layer, believing you are better that that. Its a inheretent psychology to like this shit...

You are the son of a god with extra powahs!

You dont know that at first. But I admit that I was easy to please when I played BG.

So if you are not much into replayability, chances are, you will like it.



This really doesn't help your argument about the game much

There is no argument for me. I like it more than Fallout or Planescape you dont and I certainly cant convince you or somebody else otherwise.
