Baldurs Gate

Do you remember having to connect to a local BBS on a 9600 Baud modem to play multiplayer games? Do you remember the first time you faced a Baron of Hell in Doom and had to run for your life because you were out of shotgun shells? Do you remember the first time you got that fickle IPX...

I really, really wish I could have experienced that "twist". If I had not already seen almost the exact same thing, from the same company in a previous game, it may have done it for me. But the events leading up to it were so familiar that I found myself almost begging that twist not to...

Excessive cut scenes. I want to play a game, not watch a freaking movie. There are probably many games that I may be missing out on but having to sit through too much of that just kills the experience for me. The Diablo series did this right; every one of the cut scenes were relevant...

Agreed, it is one of the best single player FPS games in my opinion, even if a little dated by todays standards. Will never forget the first time I walked by a coffin and it started thumping :) Or that first super soldier, I have not been that scared since the first time I faced a Baron...

Between Oblivion and Fallout I think it comes down to preference; do you like Sci Fi or Fantasy? Having played a LOT of Oblivion, I found Fallout 3 to be almost the exact same game with guns instead of swords, and fewer options at that. Somebody mentioned more variety in Oblivion, I agree...

I think I have "Deadly Shadows" laying around somewhere; is that 2 or 3?

Was that the base with the sirens that go off when you are spotted? Gawd, the sound of that thing whirring up made my skin crawl...

Every single RTS that I have ever played online. Since Command and Conquer first came out I have sucked at RTS games. But that didnt stop me from playing and getting clobbered in just about every one of them until my last go around with Company of Heroes and I said to myself "Self, maybe you...

I seem to always get drawn back to games like Deus Ex Diablo Baldurs Gate I can't think of a single game within the past few years, or maybe even decade that I have had the desire to replay over and over. Possibly Oblivion but even that is a stretch.

This describes me to a T Usually start out trying to be the nice guy but it always ends up being more fun being the bad guy. Probably because I would never act that way in real life, and what better way to role play?

I honestly can not think of one ending that was disappointing. Well, maybe Oblivion because once I became the hero I was not treated any differently. While not technically an "ending" I was more than a little irritated with the Bioshock "twist". I suspected it all along and was hoping...

As long as the modding community runs with it the way it did with Oblivion I will be happy. I liked Oblivion when I played it mod free. I adored it once I discovered mods. So I will with hold judgment.
