What was that old game that seemed kind of like Baldur's Gate, but had nice graphics?

[Stella Brando]

I remember seeing some images of an old game which seemed inspired by Baldur's Gate, and as far as I know was a 2D, party-based RPG. It seemed to have some very nice maps of a castle, and other medieval stuff like that. The graphics and visual design seemed stellar (for the 90's or early 2000's) I never actually played the game and don't know anything about it. Sorry I don't have any solid info.

Does any one have any idea what game I'm thinking about?

? Gorasul

 

[Stella Brando]

I don't think that's it, but thanks for taking part, Grauken.

 

[motherfucker]

Divinity: Original Sin most likely

 

[Grauken]

I would have said Divine Divinity, but that game has more action-oriented gameplay like Diablo (and no party) though the world design is closer to Baldur's Gate

Divinity: Original Sin most likely

He said an older game

Icewind Dale? Its hard for any game from that era to keep up with Infinity Engine games visually.

 

[Grauken]

Siege of Avalon maybe?

 

[curds]

Temple of Elemental Evil?

Well known on the 'dex, so it's probably not the game you're looking for, but worth a punt.

 

[Sykar]

Lionheart maybe?

 

[Grauken]

Konung 1 or 2

 

[Disciple]

If it isn't Gorasul, it could be Siege of Avalon or Prince of Qin.

Virtua Fighter?

 

[Lim-Dûl]

You might be thinking of Ultima VII.

 

[Pink Eye]

Tetris? Is it Tetris? I think it's Tetris!

 

[Melcar]

Konung 1 or 2

The screenshots in the box and on magazine reviews looked so much better than what you actually got. I was a young teen back then, but this game and a few others of that era marked the point when I started to question reviews and marketing.

Maybe you should ask Todd Howard. I'm sure he'd say Skyrim.

So you are not sure if it was 2d or party-based or even a RPG...

I throw in Silver. I'm pretty sure that game had castles at least...

What's with the reading comprehension, the post clearly says it was 2d, party-based and an RPG

Yes, quite sure as far as you know.

So you're a moron, just checking

Dark Sun!
Except it was released before BG.

Icewind Dale otherwise?

He also said 2D.

Prince of Qin. RtWP goodness. Offline is not much different.
