Was Baldur’s Gate 2 pretty good? I loved BG3 and Divinity 2(? Original Sin)
I never got super into BG2 but BG1 I go back to every 5 years or so. It feels like a DnD campaign, it's comfortable, and I like how brutal the combat can be if you roll in unprepared
Very different game (if you've played the pathfinder games, it's a similar feel).
Honestly, my memory is too rose tinted to offer an honest review on bg1 and bg2... They were amazing for their time, and have aged well in my elderly opinion.
They're less dialogue driven than bg3 (planescape torment will scratch that itch), and a bit less forgiving, but they're damn good fun!
To the Steam wishlist it goes! Thanks
