Unplayable Overrated Junk
Baldur's Gate is a potentially good game which is entirely ruined by its unplayably bad combat system and disastrous decision to try (and fail) to implement D&D as a real-time game, as well as its choice of the pretentious and self-important Forgotten Realms campaign setting.

A Terribly Boring Experience
Played both the original and EE versions, enjoyed none. The worst part of the game is its badly writen, uninterresting plot, and in the original version of the game you are not even really able to read it due to the game's unreadable fonts. I played and enjoyed games like the Fallout 1/2, Planescape Torment etc. but the Baldur's Gate was an absolute dissapointment for me, I don't really understand why this game has such an iconic status, but I guess "to each their own".

Terrible combat system
What kills the game for me is the terrible combat system (realtime with pause) which plays pretty much like Warcraft. Unfortunately the AI is braindead and has your party members running brainlessly into traps and mages into suicide by trying to melee heavy hitting enemies. You give your party members orders, which they briefly follow before doing something stupid. You're going to be smashing the pause button every couple of seconds to micromanage your dummies anyway, so why WHY realtime??? The ONLY way to go with party based RPGs is turn based. Luckily Baldur's Gate 3 is made by competent developers who realized that making BG 3 the ONLY part of the series to recommend. D & D early levels are a nightmare, especially if you are a spellcaster which cannot fight and only have two or three spells before they need rest (and they won't be doing enough damage to end the combat encounter with those few spells). That limits your choices of classes you can select. Coupled with the horrible combat system playing this game on anything but story mode is annoying as hell.
