After Baulders gate II what would be the next in line? I have Ice Wind Dale but not yet played (also heard its not very strong on the storyline- just hack'n'slash). Is there a logical sequence or a question of opinion? I have not seen anything yet that reaches the Baulder Gate Series.
Thanks for your time. |
The Throne of Bhaal of course...
unless you are considering TOB and BG2 one game. If so then I regret to tell you that the TOB is the final installment of the bhaalspawn saga. |
As the man said: Throne of Bhaal and then Darkest Day.
Throne of Bhaal is great. |
Icewind Dale is a pretty good game in its own right, but it has nothing on the Baldur's Gate series. some of the spell graphics and what not are better in IWD, i think, but storyline wise and role-playing wise the BG series is paramount.
IWD does have a whole sh*tload of hack n slash, and it can honestly get very annoying sometimes. that's the main reason its taking so long for me to play through IWD and HoW, because i keep putting it off when i get stuck at a place with a horde of the same damn undead swarming my guys group after group. gets a little old after a while. |
And then after ToB comes NWN.... not a bhaalspawn but Forgotten Realms [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

After you've played SoA and ToB, I'd suggest Planescape: Torment. While Icewind Dale is fun, it's not a CRPG; it's a sophisticated hack-and-slash. You'll look in vain for the kind of intricately designed party NPCs and non-linear quests that are such fun in BG2, in IWD. They do exist, however, in P:T, along with a surprisingly good overarching plot.

I also recommend Plane Scape Torment. Very good Story and quite strange, but very interesting NPCs.
At the moment I play the old Gold Box AD&D Games from SSI (since I only have an old Laptop to play with...) |
