Baldur's Gate is 20 years old!

ZFR · 12-22-2018, 08:33 AM

My favourite game of all time and the game that brought me into RPGs, Forgotten Realms and DnD is was released 21st Dec 1998. Although BG2 was "objectively" better, I loved the openness of wilderness areas of BG1, and... well I loved the fact how you started small and it never felt like there was a "monty haul" of items, enemies and spells. Made every magic weapon you get pretty special, and every boss fight exciting.

Happy Birthday, Baldur's Gate.

Fixed it for ya!

20 years- I saw that.. crazy! Also means Ironworks is 20+ years old.. now I feel old. hahah!! I remember going on usenet for news on VERY early info on BG1... such good games!

I played all of them again on the Enhanced versions. Good stuff!! Also, a new game called Quake Champions is out--LOOOVE it. played tons of Quake 1-3 on Kali via dial-up and QuakeSpy (then became GameSpy then died)

Its free to play still-- I think. I stream it all the time.. and Pubg

Been playing "Pathfinder Kingmaker" a really GOOD RPG-- its like BG, but with current graphics and its REALLY good. Tons of Skills.

And Underworld is out--they fixed all the bugs, and will be streaming it after Christmas
(Ironworks Gaming) on Youtube.. slowly building a library of streams there... have 300 or so now.. also will be on Twitch soon. It's fun going on adventures in these games!!!
