Thank you. This is the video I was waiting for. I never played BG III and I never will. Instead I might have a run of BG I and BG II again

I get the feeling you would like the game "Hands of Necromancy" and its sequel. There is some shapeshifting for exploring/combat, though its more Hexen throwback than RPG. Speaking fever dream games of the 90s - ever herd of Project Firebird (or possibly Thunderbird, can't remember which) another sort of FPS style dungeon crawler where you were looking for the parts of the titular device - a terraforming missile more or less to save the post apocalyptic world.

You hear that daggerfall door opening sfx everywhere..it always reminds me of this game...played the fk out of the shareware ver and then full game. Remember Andel Crodos fashion gallery and a pic of a dude as an elf online too.

It's not bad u just suck at it

What, you can let Drizzt live 😮 all that sweet loot lost.. 😢

"Daggerfall is too hard" *Cast fireballs, camp outdoors, be woken by an enemy, they die from the fireballs you casted before sleeping, repeat*

Its insane how much this one sucked compared to the first one.

Just want to say this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Keep doing what you're doing

I have played BG in the olden days and didn’t like it at first. Learning the admittedly somewhat obscure DnD mechanics at that time and grasping the experience the game want to offer to you took some time. Only afterwards I could appreciate the depth of the system and the grandeur of the game’s scope. I totally understand that the initial investment is a high ask for new players and not for everyone.

I actually have this game! Bought it when it came out, and again a few years ago on GOG. It means I can test out the most important question: Can you drink so many elixirs of youth that you become a toddler?

Two tips: - try dosbox staging - crt filters are a must if you want to see how games looked in 90 (i know, i was there) and dosbox staging has one of better ones imo - clean your oven :D but I am impressed by the muffins Thanks for reminding me of this piece of gaming history!

Heretic and Hexen were so very good

I really, really, wanted to play EotB, Heroes of the Lance, and many others. They looked incredible at the time. I also had a Macintosh 128, a computer that couldn't play this type of game. When I realized just what was out there, and how I could upgrade/add cards to improve the PC? I switched shortly after these games came out.

I love the games in the 90's/2000's. From consoles, to handhelds, to PC's it was a time of great strides in graphics and most everything else. I wonder if we will every see the type of positive growth again. Stonekeep was a lot of fun to play. So many games were.

I've never been into these D&D RPG games. I had them. Pirated them as a kid. This one I enjoyed the most. But I got stuck and never finished it. Watched Jim Plays Games play through it. And now, I understand why it's so loved. I was enthralled watching him play it. Even bought the game on GOG. But, that wall of text for an ending? Amiga's ending was definitely needed.

The first one is still my favorite and I still have the old cd too

A masterpiece

The reason why they added all the useless empty landscape was so that they could put it on the box. A map the size of a real continent! No one ever dreamed of such a thing in the Nintendo days.

My dad really loved point and click adventure games, like King's Quest and such, we'd play them together. Bioforge was one we could never really figure out and I don't remember much outside of trying to get the fork from the crazy guy near the beginning. Then again I was also about 5 at the time, maybe we got further. Sadly when I got older and was more internet savvy, we had the box, but the disk was missing.

bruh i played this on a gtx 660

I think there were a couple of UA-camrs who made a video of walking from one end of the map to another. I think it took about 60 hours.

I still got the original CD-ROM and it's one of the best games I've ever played.

honestly bro script wayy too condensed video should be like 2 hours . like can we have 5 minutes to just appreciate the graphics. like i get you have a lot to say but let us take it in man

Pc gamer UK review 😉

I can’t wait until someone has seizures while watching this video. Don’t think about it too hard just let me know when it happens. 👌

You sound like asmongold.

When I got this in the 90s, I had already played Ultima Underworld. This is a step below that technologically and I just thought the combat was too simple and had no impact. Just clicking on the bad guy, and not even having them react, is boooring. I bounced off the game and didn't go back. Judging from your review, I think Baldurs Gate 2 did a better job showing Drow culture. You get to infiltrate it as a Drow male, and be at the bottom of the Matriarchal social ladder, and it's pretty interesting.

12:03 FUN FACT: In Deus Ex 2: Invisible War its revealed that there really WAS a conspiracy to make sure that the pop machine only gave Gunther Lemon Lime.

26:46 Good video. But just a tip, if you’re talking about a games music and sound effects, it’s really helpful to play some of that music and/or sound effects so the viewer has an idea of what you mean.

wait, do you really turn into a giant cat creature?

It really is fun to look at convoluted control schemes developers come up with sometimes. Like when multiple conflicting actions are bound to the same buttons, or you have to hold one button in order to activate a set of controls that gives the player more control than is really necessary.

I always considered Arena and Daggerfall (OG not unity) as more of tech demos than actual games you would want to play. How people played them: "wow it's a whole world, and it looks so real, you can walk across a country and do anything...... and that's enough of that back to Baldurs Gate" That's what I did, that's what my friends did, that's what my uncle who was a huge gamer did.

sequel sucked. still play the OG tho

I get this confused with warriors of might and magic on PS2.

I didn't like BG3... It had some cool technical stuff but didn't feel like a sequel to BG2. I've also played through it 3 times and my playthroughs weren't as unique as what I thought it would be. Not to mention the front loading of content. I did think the systems and UI worked really well, but the Dice rolls were obviously weighted even when I turned off weighted dice. Like on one roll I had to reload like 40 times and I could not roll above an 8 at all I gave up then right after that I was guaranteed to pass so I kept reloading that 20 times just to be sure, I couldn't roll below a 17. I don't like that, especially when I turn it off and it still happens

I've just finished the GOG enhanced version, which to me is the best version of this game you can play today. The improvements in the controls made the game perfectly playable now, the higher resolutions and the new fullscreen mode make everything look clearer, bigger and better. The story, atmosphere and level design are still amazing. The music is great too. I'm not interested in the remake; I've seen some videos and I think it completely loses the original's magic.

The "Leather Armor" looks like a giant waffle. It made me realize how long it has been since I've had a waffle... I need a waffle :(

Yeah I played that 30 yrs ago. It came with a cd-rom from a PC magazine lol. Never made it very far 😂

I also thought his name was Lolo thanks to the text. It wasn't until a few years ago when watching a retrospective of the series that I heard Iolo for the first time, and I wondered who the hell they were talking about. "EEolo? Who dat? What kind of name is that?"

If they really implemented the AD&D rules on the system, then getting a Dwarf Warrior poisoned is tremendously difficult. Those Poison antidotes were probably for the Elf with low Constitution. The Strenght Potions really should add very little damage compared with anything else, and impact more on the chance of Hitting, lowering the occasions where high AC enemies no sell Attacks. But once again, your Dwarf Warrior already has the largest chance to hit things. And they even have a far higher hit point pool than the other characters. I never played this game, but going by the tabletop rules, you could say that instead of Easy Medium and Hard, the game instead has an Awesome character (Dwarf), an acceptable character (Half Elf Fighter Mage ), and a guy completely out of his depth ( the Elf Mage with pathetically low Armor options and Health, and very little spells to go by, being even made redundant by the orbs). Fighters ruled the AD&D second edition era.

I remember playing this game as a child.. but.. my english was very poor back then and I had no idea what i was doing :D i was 10 years old or so...

Why do you keep referring to goldbox for games that are not part of the goldbox ranks?

Have you played Nox ? ua-cam.com/video/QAOAHXd77kU/v-deo.htmlsi=ViFBWt8qc8TMrvBw

Menzoberanzan was never a gold box game as suggested in the beginning (those are all standard 2D games from SSI); it was part of the AD&D Masterpiece Collection.

such deep cut ugh updooooooots

I've always wondered how does a beholder sleep

Your first words allready right. How often have I thought about how developer used to be much more experimental in games. It was all about fun. Genres didn't matter at all.

Stonekeep mentioned 💀🗡️ lmao

9 orbs? The only two orbs I'm getting vengeance for are the apple maidens.

Everyone needs to look up the original intro cinematic because the enhanced edition power point is garbage
