I wasn't a member of any of the CRPG forums around the time BG1 was released, so I'm not sure how it was received. These days, it's more or less considered a good game, but it obviously has its detractors. I definitely remember people and bitching about Icewind Dale, and masturbating over BG2, though.
Did the original Baldur's Gate get the same treatment Dragon Age and its sequel are getting around these parts? Reading a few posts around the net, some people are saying that BG was considered the death of CRPGs at release, being bitched about the same way Dragon Age is now. Is that true? I'm imagining BG being to the Goldbox games what Dragon Age is to BG. The Infinity Engine combat is definitely the shittiest part about it... kind of reminds me of a certain Bioware game about to be released.
Maybe 10 years from now we'll be crying about the dumbing down of Dragon Age 1 and 2.
