You know I really envy all these newbies who are playing the Baldurs Gate series for the first time, the first time was special. How fresh and new everything must seem to them, I wish that I could wipe all memories of the game my mind and start anew. But alas it's never going to happen

Is it just me or do any of you fell the same way as me?

(maybe I could try and get amnesia by hitting my head repeatedly against the wall, umm on second thoughts maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea)

I agree, it was a great experience, but with all these mods to download its almost the same feeling.
almost(sigh)

Me too...although I still haven't seen a few things in the game ;) ...

I agree ive played through twice, once with a monk once with a wizard. My third time around its so much easier since I know how to prepare for almost every battle. I cant believe how hard Irenicus's first dungeon was my first time around my monk got killed by the lightning mephits!

Yeah, i know, Irenius's Dungeon was really hard, i feel sorry for people who never played BG1 first.They must have died hundreds of times. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yep that was me!

The first time I played it, it wasn't hard...well only because my main character was a wolfwere ;) ...

Ah, memories.. You know, I seem to get overly emotional about things like this.. But whenever I decide to play the original BG, and hear the theme, it brings a tear to my eye. My life was so simpler back then, and the music takes me back to when I was a simple newbie to almost everything RP related except Dnd. I hadn't played online, hadn't played any games online or anything. It was just blissful ignorance.
I remember thinking that no game could ever top BG. Not SoA, not IWD, nothing. Then I played SoA. It blew my mind. The char dialogue, the rich plot, it was all beyond my expectations. I dunno. Maybe I'm getting overly sappy. Kleenex, anyone?
When I downloaded the ROM for FFVI, the music brought me WAY back. THOSE were the days, when I had no responsibilities. It's like, the music and games I've played through my life have left an impression on my mind, and bring me back to the stage of my life I was in.
Anyhoo, sorry for getting overly emotional on you people and getting off topic. It would be nice if I could play the entire BG saga all over again like it was new, but it's also nice to be a veteran player, I suppose.

Yup, I do wish to do all of that again. Everything seems so different first time round, I swear the area was different, and the monsters.

<font color=pink>Installing mods definatley helps us veterans of BG2 enjoy i more(at least it did for me!). I recently went back and played BG1, and i was like WOW this is too easy! I should do that more often :D </font>
