With today's monitors being what they are, a full-screen HD game with hand-drawn arts like BG or IWD will melt the graphic card to the ground within 10 minutes.

It would have been better with IE because the combat would have been better; as has already been previously mentioned on this thread.POE being shit isn't related in any way to the engine... would it have been better with IE, retard?
I never fucking said that though. I just don't like my games looking like dogshit. The UI and blurry resolution of the original games was too much to bear, but I personally love the way the games look in EE. In fact, I prefer the hand drawn maps and sprites of these old games to PoE. It has its own visual aesthetic that does the job better than PoE imho.You're going in circles. You said you liked pretty games, so you went EE. So you should like POE's smoother engine and graphics. I understand if you don't like the shitty story or combat, but the graphics are alright.
I wouldn't be 100% opposed to another engine. The reason I was advocating for IE is because it's already completed and it would save companies loads of money that would come with developing a new engine. My original post was discussing specific changes that need to be made to BG. Does the game NEED a new engine? No it fucking doesn't, I and most other people I'm sure would play a new game if it had great writing but was developed using IE.Using IE right now is as if Nintendo used Ocarina of Time's engine for Breath of the Wild... you can go so far with a 20-year old engine. You'd actually produce a dated, indie game, except IE back then was triple A. Using it now is lazy.
