What good story has no romance?Īt the same time, BG2, KotOR, Jade Empire, Mass Effect, Dragon Age and The Witcher all had romances with increased levels of depth and graphical fidelity. They show a vampire and a bear, a dragon and a tiefling. Also, if they show the romance thing, they don't give away the main plots too much. That's fair, they want to leave an impression and this tickles people. It sells deodorant, cars, shampoo, coffee and, as much as you may dislike it - games. Reading through the combat log, swapping out gear with certain resistances, chugging potions. Hells, if you play the originals like I do, for the tougher fights - you're paused *constantly*, and for the worst fights you have your auto-pause set to 'spell cast' and 'end of round' effectively turning it into a turn based game. I'm a *huge* fan of the originals.Īnd I could write an essay on how the turn-based system in BG3 was an excellent choice, but in particular - how that caters to CRPG fans. And I have, I go through the whole saga at least once a year, and have done so for more than 20 years. Restarted in Candlekeep a couple of times. That means, when charname dies, it's over.

On SCS Hardcore / Ascension / 50% Damage increase and NO RELOAD. I'm not one for bragging, but I started off the saga again two months ago. It's not for fans of the original! Yes it is.
