博德之门增强版

So this game and many others in my library simply don't start anymore. Whenever I hit the play button it loads for a second and then just doesn't lauch. I've tried reinstalling and preety much everything else. If someone has a fix great but if not i'll take my buisness elseware.

I never played it at its time so I am not able to appreciate this game, it is dated and does not stand out at all, I have not played the sequel yet but I do not see reasons to recommend BG1. There are a lot of quality of life problems that make you loose a lot of time so the overall experience is tedious, even if this is an enhanced edition. Character development is not enjoyable unless you like the d&d system. The pace of leveling is very slow for a 40 hours videogame and progression choices are few. Story is OK. Political conspirations, the secret origin of your protagonist, etc. I do not know how many narrative choices you can actually make. The best feature of the game are the companions, many of them are charismatic, even though they may have few dialogue lines and quotes in comparison to newer AAA titles. Even though you have huge wild areas, exploration is very poor, almost nonexistent in comparison to other rpgs, so don't use time in this. There are somewhat hidden companions and books that increase your stats, but better see where to obtain them in a guide and just follow the quest. In gameplay was a novelty for its time the real time with pause feature, but here you could only command one action at each pause and not a queue of actions like more modern and more polished games. You can go fast during easy fights, but you will have to pause too frequently at more difficult ones. This gameplay style does not suit well here with d&d features. Being able to switch between real time and turn based like MM6 should have been a much better option. I feel a problem with the relation of implicit rounds and walking speed, I feel that walking speed is very fast in comparison to casting times. This is a ratio, because general gameplay speed can be changed while editing an archive (not in in-game options, even if this enhanced edition should have allowed it), i strongly suggest to change framerate from 30 to 45 because in general gameplay is too slow.

Great game. One of my favourites.

Oh look, a fraud!

So, maybe there was a time in gaming history where a 45 minute tutorial was the norm. Or where that tutorial was just a bunch of useless boring bullshit, and everyone was fine with it. But for fuck's sake - it's taken me three tries to get through this boring bullshit and I'm done. Just a bunch of idiots in a building talking and making you click through dozens of pages of dialog, for shit I'm not going to remember anyway. 0/10. Maybe the game itself is fun, but getting to the game itself is such a chore I'd rather just play a game that doesn't suck.
