I seriously don't know what the heck is wrong with you guys.

BG was always cheesy as hell, which is why it was so great and its over-the-top-epicness so awesome.
And the graphics in BG 1 (!!) were never that great. Just in your memories, trust me. I replay that game every odd year, and really, it doesn't look better than the screenshot above.

And they add more of that plus better modding tools for everyone to enjoy plus bugfixes plus tablet support (yeah, the evil new technologies, spooky!) plus...

Okay, the price does seem a bit high for a 10 year old game, that's true.

That's funny, 'cause the BG I play every odd year has a shit-ton of better functionality than this turd will have, because many of the mods I use can't be used with this... thing. SCS supports? Level 1 NPC support?

Not even going to comment on your "BG1 was not pretty." Those backdrops are fine as fucking hell.

For a 1998 game... sure. For a 2012 game, no fukkin' way. The 'new' screenshots look a hell of a lot better than the old ones. Stop with the bullshits.

And, ar epeople whining about the emo 'modern' BIO 'one note' 'mary sue' 'mysterious past' characters?

Let's not froget that BG1 introduced us to such 'classics' as Xan, Viconia, and a whole bunch of toher characters that git one, two, or three of those descriptors to a tee 9than again 99% of characetr sin all games espicially a Codexnian fave PSt to a tee.

HAHAHAH!

That said, there's no need to 'remake' the BGs eries. Just fukkin' make a BG3 FFS.

What the fuck is wrong with you??? Are you blind? I can undarstand that you argue about gamplay, about story, about writing. Those can be subjective. But you have to be blind or plain retarded to state the the new blurry screenshots look better. So you can choose. Are you blind or retarded? Fuck, you just disagree for the sake of disagreeing.

The new screenshots look like horseshit when compared to the original graphics.

The higher rezo of the new screenshots is great. They also do not look disimilar to the original BG1 to me, apart from the higher resolution, but I did not look too carefully. I guess even if that is true, it is probably only because these screenshots highlight newer areas opened up by the new NPCs joining your party, and thus they probably were made quickly and on the cheap.

Go whine to yo momma. The new screenshot are obviously superior. the fact you disagree is just the typical Codex - bashing the present and praising the present even if it is stupid to do so.

The only obvious thing here is that you're losing it. The new screenshots are shit and these hacks have managed to pull off the amazing feat of taking good graphics and turning them into shit.

We don't have Trent's cock deep in our throat, for starters.
...
Go eat a dick. Oh, you're already eating Trent's.

You are really focused on Trent's cock huh. :cool:

It does seem like this whole thing is little more than a glorified fan mod. And BG1 graphics were fine.

Wrong. Because, as bad as these graphics are, they're not worse than NWN. In fact, NWN might just be the ugliest game ever. BG1 is much much better.

LOLOL.

Also, typical Volourn: Cocksuck the present and bash the past even when it's obviously retarded to do so. Case in point, these shit screenshots and Bioware's games starting with NWN.

The NWN game that i play don't ahve graphics that bad. Obviously, someone purposefully made them look worse than they are.

NWN graphics look damn good for a 2002/2003 game. BG1 graphics are nowhere near as good as NWN's. Stop your fukkin' lying.

I bash plenty of modern games, and praise many past games. Some of my favoritistgames are 10+ years old. Some are even 20 years old.

So, keep up your bullshitz propaganda full of liez and untruthz. The smart people know I am right.

Can't believe I was borderline hoping they'd manage something relatively decent with this mod. Good thing they added Merrill the Blood Mage's coming-of-age romance story though, or what was that giraffeneck's name again. Gigglesquee!

Volourn, you nitwit, instead of defending NWN's graphics, why not tell people it would have been unfeasible to make that kind of a universal RPG creation kit with high-fidelity 2D graphics?

The only good thing about NWN graphics is that they support modern resolutions. Otherwise this game (just like Dungeon Siege for that matter) suffers from a godawful art direction. The fact that some of the hackpacks you can find on NW vault manage to put the original environments to shame is ample proof.

Don't be a nitwit Infinitron. Anyone who tries to pretend that BG/IE graphics are better than NWN/Aurora's is fukkin' retarted.

"A new low,"
Nah, me pointing out the TRUTH that NWN graphics are better than BG graphics is a very old 'low' for me. R00fles!

Bad 3D is and always will be unquestionably worse than low-res 2D. All the more true when you add a shitty art direction to what is already a blocky monstrosity.
So yeah, Infinitron's right and you're wrong.

Don't try to reason with Volourn. It's fun poking him with a stick and watch him scream, but braindead is braindead. No hope there.
