What did BG do first?
Make a non-janky AD&D 2nd edition RPG
2nd Edition D&D, the system that required a master's degree to be understood

There was no 2nd Edition D&D. There was AD&D 2E. Only if you have the IQ of 65 or less is it hard to understand. Are you under 65 IQ?

I'm running an AD&D 2E clone game with people that have never touched it before. They have no problems in understanding how THAC0 or anything else works.

Why so mad ? :)

Took barely 10 second to get triggered :P

I'm not triggered or mad in the slightest. I just wanted to know why you think that AD&D 2E is so difficult.

You seem upset with my attempts at communication. Shall I type

More disappointing is a surprisingly repetitive collection of main quests to visit a series of ancient temples, missions that are so similar in format it feels like Bethesda just copy-pasted them onto different planets. There's almost nothing to them: land on a planet, run for a few minutes in a straight line to reach the temple, then go inside and do the same thing you did in the last one. The rewards are different and occasionally quite good (yes, I'm being deliberately vague), but these temple quests are interesting exactly once, the very first time, and then become the definition of a mindless chore.

Phil Spencer (and R****t tbf) are well ahead of that hot take
