After reading all the of the RPG Codex Gift- and Begstravaganza Thread I decide to have some fun with GMOD.

tis is the result

But with Such festival, bad things would follow. He was a drake from the north

Fuck you, the combat in DCotE was really enjoyable for me.
Let me remind you that you're not some sort of supersoldier from Call of Duty in this game, you're a fucking morphine addict with questionable sanity who somehow got the job of the detective.

I got that you are not supposed to be a fighter in Dark Corners. The developers apparently forgot that though, since the game pushes you in one action sequence after another in the second half. They even have a sequence where you sit in a driving vehicle and have to shoot enemies who came after you. Quite similar to some sequences in Call of Duty actually...

Oh well, let's stay with our current opinions.

Aye! Crystal Dynamics TRs were okay, with Underworld being their best (and Anniversary of course but that's just because it's a remake of the excellent first game), and original series was great. Especially Last Revelation, fucking masterpiece.

The newshit reboot NuRaider is to Tomb Raider what Thi4f is to Thief, though. Fuck that shit.

YEUJ!!!! BG II ENHANCED EDITION HERE I COME

 

[Crooked Bee]

What a coincidence, I just completed BG1 myself. (Not the enhanced edition though.)

It was a really great game, much better than I remembered it to be. Surprisingly enough, I enjoyed everything -- not just the combat, but also the quests and exploration. Pathfinding sucked hard, though, and made me rage a lot.

BG2 + ToB, here I come! Let's see how the second game compares.

What a coincidence, just started BG2 myself (not the EE, but with widescreen/highres mod).

Playing as a Priest of Talos. Left Jaheira in her cell.

What class is CHARNAME and which companions do you use?
Do you pick the strongest companions or the ones you like best?

Been trying to get my party completed asap, getting Edwin is quite the trouble, can't kill the two Stone Golems that are in that mage dude's house, so I lured em outside and stealthed, killed the mage dude fine and all, but now the two golems are somewhere in the docks, waiting to ruin my day.

Damn it, I played only the knight campaign a little (where you start in prison), so I couldn't recognize other screens.
Shame on me.
Shame.

Second is strictly better, so much enjoyment is ahead for you

Are you playing with SCS?

Some old Shadow Warrior screens I took:

Splitto personality!

Hory cow, Lookathat! It's Duke Nukem!

Toilet humor.

Last boss on his knees. It almost looks like I'm holding his heart.

BONUS:

Nice foreshadowing (if you can call it that), by mentioning Jon Irenicus. I thought it was cool when I noticed that the first time.

I can't remember the names of the difficulty mods I installed, but sometimes things got way too ridiculous. The only way I won that fight was by some serious cheesing (running away, sending only one person in with magic immunity scroll and waiting till their buffs ran out etc.)

Triple fireball to the face!

You can't see it from this screenshot, but one of them actually survived.

Yay torment reference.

Viconia is not amused.

Nope, BGT + widescreen mod. Vanilla, basically. It's just been so long since I played BG that I wanted to experience it as a first-time player would. Which I actually did and am happy about - it's not often that you can forget the game to an extent that you can play it like it was the first time. I did remember IWD well enough, but not BG1/2.

I'll bother with mods and additional challenge and powergaming and stuff for my next playthrough.

Cavalier. I think it's the first time I've played a Paladin in any (?) game actually - I usually like playing mages, clerics, or something exotic like bards/monks. I enjoyed it for BG1, but I'm not yet sure if I want to keep this class for BG2... I want to play a good aligned party though so maybe. Inquisitor also looks alright. Alternatively, the powergamer in me wants to play a Kensai dual-classed to Mage or Thief. I haven't decided yet.

(I do kinda want to play a Paladin for reasons of LARPing though. Call it the Christmas mood.)

I'd also love to play a Monk or a Bard someday, but definitely not this time.

Again, it's been so long since I played these games that I'm not powergaming but just going with the flow. I literally don't remember anything about the quests or NPCs except some major plot points that are just hard to forget. I don't even remember what NPCs there are in BG2 overall. So in BG1 I ended up with the most standard party possible: PC, Imoen, Khalid, Jaheira, Minsc, Dynaheir. I also had other NPCs join temporarily at some point. It was serviceable enough.

For BG2 I know I want a good/neutral party, a couple of mages/sorcerers (because the more mages the merrier), and a cleric. The rest is still up in the air, but since I have zero metagaming knowledge I'll just pick 'em up as they come and will of course end up with the most boring party imaginable again. I'm okay with that though. At the moment Age of Decadence is enough for my obsessive character building needs (and I'm enjoying it a whole lot, too).

If it's been so long since you played it I'd recommend playing it mostly Vanilla as well. Perhaps I'd installed a few tweaks more, but eh.

This must makes one more addition to the crowd of few Codexers who like both the Gold Box games and the IE games.

Inquisitor is horribly op for BG2, makes some of the more difficult encounters a cakewalk. Paladins were pointless in BG and IWD so they buffed them for BG2 by making all their kits really good, though cavalier and undead hunter aren't imbalanced.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Good to know, thanks. I might keep my Cavalier, then.

Most boring character BG I ever played was a Kensai/Mage. Most of the game he's too weak, and then suddenly he becomes über powerful. Not my idea of fun, at least.

Wait, the number who like both are actually quite few? I like both of them. I recognize that the Gold Box games are horribly outdated from a UI and interface perspective, but they're still loads of fun to play.

Seems like all the Best RPG-threads always evolve to are Gold Box crowd versus IE crowd and then the Fallout crowd who hates most games that aren't, well... Fallout.
