I beat the BG2 but I didnt play BG1 before I really wonder about what it's like. What are the main differences between BG1 and Bg2 and which do you prefer? Is there character interactions and romance in bg1?

BG1 has tons of NPC's, areas and such... but little interaction and no romance. larger than BG2 (5disks), and Baldur's Gate itself can be really stressful. With so many places to explore... it can become a burden rather than a fun game...
BG2 is more balanced and all, but you won't really have this hatred for Sarevok if you didn't play BG1, and you wouldn't know how Khalid was, etc... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprinc...ages/heart.gif You guys heard Chiharumut, whattabout Ba[H]eartamut??? :) |

But xp cap in Bg1 is only 89.000 xp right? Isnt it very low? ------------------ "Not for your eyes only, also for your beautiful ears.." Yngwie J. Amadeus Zoltan "Diamond Fighter of Aerie Lovers Sacred Band" |
zoltan the exp cap isn't very low because the enemies you kill in bg1 doesn't give you large numbers of exp.So it is very normal.

BG is VERY, VERY, I repeate, VERY good game. It might not seem quite as good if you played BG2 first, but it's a very good game. It's huge,more challenging than BG2 (which I consider a bit too easy), and is just very fun. Overall, a great game.

Well first off just cuz BG I is 5 disks I wouldn't say its larger. I think BG II has less disk space but could take more time to play (more quests packed into less areas etc). Afterall alot of BG I is just wilderness and random encounters.
As for actual differences well yes it is true the xp cap is low. But you start out a complete peon and advance very slowly (monsters you would laugh at in BG II you run in fear from in BG I). There is a great feeling of satisfaction in BG I at the completion of a hard fight or the gaining of a level due to this. There is less character interaction and no romance or strongholds etc in BG I but you feel probably more connected with your main char as well as the other party members in some ways since its like you were raising them since childhood. All in all BG II is BG I on a much grander scale. I liked it a great deal although BG II improved on many things. |
To sum things up:
BGII=New School BG=Old School(in a coooool old school kind of way...) So get your butt down to your local dealer and buy it before your neighbour finds out it has become trendy again... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif ------------------ Love´s in need of love today:):):) |
AAAHHH, BG1!!! that was a fun game. LOTS of areas to explore, and a cool storyline. although, BG2 is better of course. i might just have to play that game again, maybe with a new character this time.
