What resolution do you use for the Infinity Engine games?

[Ruprekt]

Which is more important to you? Playing the games with a similar view to the displays of year 2000 or making the most use of a modern display?

1280x1024 it's native on my 4 year old lcd , and other settings make everything uglier then it was back in 1997

 

[Ruprekt]

I should have added another option

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Usually 800x600 or 1024x640 - I play in window anyway.

 

[1eyedking]

640x480

I like watching my characters up close and personal.

 

[ChristofferC]

1920x1200

I see no reason not to

Everything looking like ants?

Squinting your eyes?

Text looking like footnotes?

Yeah, I can't run IE games higher than 1024x768 for exactly those reasons.

Not for those reasons, though.

1024x768, anything higher just looks ridiculous.

Edit: Although I did run Torment once in 1920x1080 to have a better view of Sigil, it really is beautiful. The architecture is amazing.

 

[ChristofferC]

Nothing looks like ants. Well, maybe the rats do.

I can read the text just fine.

And my display is 22" so everything is even smaller than on a standard 1920x1200 display.

 

[Rohit_N]

1440x900.

 

[oldmanpaco]

1200 x 800

Looks beautiful.

Pro-tip: on bigger screens stuff remains the same at higher resolutions

1024x768 in windowed mode. Chat screens and whatever open next to it. Special exception for PST which looks nothing short of mindblowing on 1680x1050.

 

[Stabwound]

1920x1080 with the bigger text mod. Simply amazing, it looks really nice even today.

Classic 1024x640. How it meant to be played.

1366x768

I'm a laptop gamer.

Fuck, it makes the tiny field of view look fucking pathetic. I mean, characters see only 18m in each direction? IIRC even the fucking Goldbox games had bigger field of view.

 

[SoupNazi]

When I can then windowed, when not then I go for 1680x1050 (which reminds me, the poll option is wrong). The whole myth about shit being small on high resolutions is just that, a myth. I've got a big 22" screen and as Skyway mentioned, when you use the proper resolution with the big screen, it looks perfect.

I know Arcanum has mods for bigger text and whatever but I never needed it.

 

[GarfunkeL]

My biggest gripe (after the fog-of-war) when playing with higher resolutions is that it creates the temptation to have parties bigger than 6 - since there's all that room for the portraits!

This.

Oh man, playing 640x480 on a 30" LCD.

Now that would be glorious.
