Played number 2, currently playing 4 (only in chapter 2). Never played 5 or 6

------------------
Just when you thought it was safe to visit this board.

I've played all of them http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif
Except TOTSC that is..

------------------
Why?

I've played all but Fallout. I also played BG1 + TOSC + DSOTSC.

Nid yw'r hoff o lyfr yn fyr o gyfaill.

What is DSOTSC? You mean I've missed out on something?

Don't worry Reeka, DSOTSC is just an optional download that can be gotten from the TEAMBG website.

It quite big (over 20 MB) so I wonder consider downloading it or not.

Also you must have TOTSC install to play DSOTSC.
Clearer now? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Wah! I've got ToSC. Do you think DSOTSC is worth it? Tell me about Planescape Torment.

Okay - this is just some relevant stuff pasted from their site (www.teambg.com), so you don't have to do a multiple browsinghttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Formerly known as the "Dark Side Of The Sword Coast" it is meant to have the folowing.

Here are the details:

This is an unofficial expansion aimed at a 9-12th level party. So I advise that you take the party thru all of TotSC First! But you have to do that after you have installed this expansion. Otherwise the new areas will not be available. Of course you can always import your party in.
Requires approximately 40 MB to install. (40!! WOW I was wrong!!http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif)

* 5 major quests well at the level of Durlag's Tower or Werewolf Island.
* More powerful monsters than anything yet experienced.
* Over 30 new areas.
* 100 new spells. (Same graphics - different effects I thinkhttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif)
* Over 70 new critters.
* 80 new weapons, armor and other items.
* 8 New NPCs to join your group.
* Enhanced Original BG Quests and Encounters.
* Experience cap raised to 20 million.
* Level 40 rules pack is included (instead of the level 20 rules that come with BG/TotSC). (maximum level can be raised to 40)
* Upon installation the program "DSotSC Installer" will allow the backup and restoring of your original BG/TotSC files (like "dialog.tlk", "Override" folder and "Characters" folder). You MUST use this tool to install or uninstall DSotSC!!! (don't worry - what they're saying is just to protect your original files in case it is a bit buggyhttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif)
* All of this is in a FREE download about 21 MB in size!!! (Ah! So I was right after all!http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif)

On the other hand - in Planescape Torment you play as an undead dude who has lost his mind - brain dead. He meets up with a bony skull named Morte and tries to find himself (his identity) back together again.

You travel through "Sigil", which is the outer planar world (of Faerun) and you go around talking to dead zombies, weird (and I mean WEIRD) people.

It's okay if you like dead worlds, drony murky atmosphere - like I do to some extent, hehe.

But if you go for action - battles and lots of fighting then it's not probably your game, because it's mostly strategy and less fighting (dissapointing thathttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif)

One last thing is that the interface (or game screen) has changed so that you end up clicking through a different location to get to the relevant things (spell book etc.....)

Try it if you like, I haven't got DSOTSC myself but if you think it sounds okay then give them a visit! http://www.teambg.com http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Greetings Mortals. My Name Is Wah, Arch Lich Wah.

I've played and beaten Baldur's Gate 1, and am playing Baldur's Gate 2. Fallout I beat about 3 years ago, and never tried 2. Icewind Dale blows in comparison to BG2 and as soon as I started to play BG2 I put Icewind Dale down to be forgotten in the anals of time. ; )

Thanks for the info, Wah!

Pennance: Have to disagree with you on IWD. To me it's a totally different kind of experience. Obviously very linear. Of course to me, BG2 was more linear that BG1. I like it and thought it was a nice little game.

I've played through
BG1
BG2
Started ToSC, (never particularly like BG1 anyway)
Planscape Torment (I've not completed it yet)
Fallout 1
Fallout 2 (Fallout series rox! Anyone remember Marcus and sulik>?)

I have played half of BG I (I quit because I had an old computer and the game kept throwing me out, showing me only half of areas, ..., so I couldn't go farther in the game). I got very disappointed then and almost resolved not to play BG II at all ...

I only played BG II because I had changed computer.

Now that I have finished BG II, I have started BG I again - hope I will finish the game this time ! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Never played the other games.

The world is my oyster !
And now I have the knives to open it ...

i've completed All of those except HoW as i refused to pay £20 for a few extra hours play of IwD. I found Fallout 1&2 to be wonderful in EVERY way.

------------------
"Then Bane, seeing the lifelessness and ruin in the middle of such beauty
smiled,
and spoke with a voice like that of carrion: "Let this place resonate with
new songs;
the cries of the warrior, the melody of clashing swords, the harmony of iron
shod
boots marching in unison over the stones, the crescendo of the death wail,
and the
chorus of the widow's lament. Let this place be a tapestry upon which I shall
paint
new scenes, and blood and ash shall be my pigments. These are the things that
I
cherish, and they shall dominate this place, as they do wherever the hearts of
men
are weak and quick to desire."

Hey Reeka, Dark side of the sword coast is a really great and challenging(and funny)add-on.If you dont mind going back to 640x480 that is!
My humble old ISA 56k pace modem took it all in it's stride.
DSotSC really did add a whole load to the game and took it to a new level i think,and it takes a while to complete also.-You do need to have TotSC installed though.

Ive played bg2 and Im nearly finished IWD I also have HoW to begin as soon as Im done. I also just bought Torment so will probably play that until Throne of Bhaal is released. I am wondering if it is worth playing bg1 now that Ive finished bg2. What do you guys and gals think http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/rand.gif

[This message has been edited by ogopogo (edited 05-12-2001).]

I've finished BG + TotSC, BG2, Planescape Torment, & IwD. As for Fallout, I resold it about a week after I bought it (due to instant and unshakeable dislike). I'm having trouble sustaining interest in HoW, but I play it for an hour each weekend, so I'll finish it eventually.

I would defiitely go back and play BG1. I may have to check out DSOCTSC; it's getting pretty good reviews.

I have JUST begone with playing BG1 (played BG2 trough first) its kind of strange, but it runs without stuttering http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Boran

Sorry, I have only played BG1&2

------------------
- Cayle

I just played BG1 and planescape:torment, but the german version of BG1 has been so very badly translated, that I only played it 4 hours and then kicked it from my harddisk. But tell me how good the speech in the american version is(I´m thinking about buying it)

i have played bg1(w/o expansion), bg2, torment. no fallout and ID.

I have played all but Fallout. I have not completed BG2 yet.

------------------
A Bard will suprise you...

BG 1&2, and IWD. No expansions on any of them, even though I plan to get BG2 one day I can.

Definately go back and play BG1 even if you've finished BG2. There is still a ton of interesting plotline that you're unaware of after playing through BG2, and even if the interface is older and more frustrating (walk AROUND him), the game is still great. Its a much more open and freeflowing game with tons of areas to explore and fun NPC's.
Plus you get to kill Khalid yourself!

well I just went out and bought bg1 and the expansion. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif The interface is quite a bit more dated than bg2 and iwd but that is no big deal to me. All I have done is create a character and look around town for five minutes. The game looks promising and I am looking forward to getting into it. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif (I'm on chapter6 of IWD so I should probably finish that first) hmmmm. such a dilema. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/ponder.gif Arrrrggghhhh I also just bought Torment last week!!!! I don't know which to play. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/ponder.gif (too many games, too little time. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/crying.gif )

Aaaaarrrrggggg, I forgot Im also halfway through Wizards and Warriors as well. *pulling hair out* I guess I should take a month off work to finish all these http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

bg1 planescape bg2
torment was the best story and charecters but bg2 was probably best over all

2/ BG1 + TOSC - yep. playin g it now ni fact, with DSOTSC expansion too
4/ IWD + HoW - yep. Bit of a drag. just a linear chop - yawn!
5/ Torment - yep! loved it
6/ Fallout + Fallout 2 - yep. WHat I didn't like was that if you didn't increase the right skills you'd be stuffed in the game
e.g., Fallout 1 required Science/Repair/Small Guns/Energy or Big Guns
Fallout 2 required Lockpick, Small Guns and Martial Arts

Played them all...only one I've finished was Icewind Dale. Still working on the others. (I've gotten to the very end of BG2 twice now, and every time I want to try a different class so I start over again...)

Glycerine

I have played all, but I loved the Fallout world..

Planescape is good too, heck, all of thoose games are worth your time.
