Re: From the Escapist- RPGs that are good for what they are
Not really. BG1 encounters amounted to a shitton of mook spam, which was boring. Couple memorable fights. Mostly the 2 demons that came with TotSC. Now I may be biased as I'm not a fan of high level D&D, but BG2 encounters weren't exactly smart either. They couldn't figure out how to balance encoutners at that level without adding Wizards, so that's exactly what they did. Added more Wizards.
Flaws with the IE engine and flaws with the D&D rules brought down the combat.
