BAK was far superior to BIA in my opinion. The combat and graphics were better in BIA, but I still think the story in BAK and the overall feel of BAK was far better than BIA.

However, I did like BIA and think anyone who likes rpgs should play it.

BTW, one thing that always puzzled my was that my strength did not increase in BIA through combat like it did in BAK. I am not sure if it is because I did not play it with a patch that fixed that problem or what the deal was, but I never saw any increases in strength, health, or stamina--only skills. It was weird, and VERY challenging--and quite fun.

Kakero, I am glad to see people playing some of the classic games again. I think in many ways they are better than some of the newer games that only focus on pretty graphics, but have fluff for content. If you can get yourself past the graphics of BAK, I think you may really enjoy the game (assuming you like BIA, of course).

Good luck!
