How did you first hear about Baldur's gate?

Jorath Calar · 10-30-2001, 08:17 AM

I saw an ad for it in a games magazine about the time it was released and thought it was pretty cool. 2 months later I borrowed it from a friend...and had it for 7 months until I bought my own copy... I was in love

How about you?

I read lots of previews in PC magazines and the test of the final version. As I played many of the Gold Box Games from SSI and the p&p AD&D, I knew, I have to buy it as any expansions and sequels.

Gaming magazine, it was like, yeah I'll buy that...and since then I bought BGII and Icewind dale (+the D&D sourcebooks)

I had just had my PC built by a friend, and I was in the store looking for a game to buy for it, and I asked the sales-guy what RPG was the top of the line, more story-based than fighting, and overall interesting.
The answer is obvious.

A friend bought it, and raved about it, so I picked it up and I've picked up every piece of Bioware D&D since

I played it on my brother-in-laws computer, being curious to see what the rave was with all these RPG games. Ever since then I have been a complete and utter addict of it.

Just browsing through the games at the local video game store picked it up thought it'd be pretty good, got hooked and brought the rest of the series and enjoying them all
