Honestly, I found it always funny how people put ADND2 on this pedestal, while hissing and glaring at those who prefer 5e, 4e and 3.5. Like, they make it seem like some sort of sin that the game became more streamlined letting more people to join and enjoy it.

the spells are so much better in older editions and clones.

Its a bitch trying to learn new spells in general though.

Why Baldur's Gate 3 Won't Be a Google Stadia Exclusive - IGN

Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios says it's "not going to participate in the exclusivity game."

Larian studios are pretty good at this sort of thing. I've liked all their games that weren't Beyond Divinity. Original Sin had a couple of early game story/pacing issues, but OS2 fixed them so I'm not so worried.

Looking forward to it.
 
5e has been simplified to where more people can pick it up. Used to be back in the day only a total autist could decipher every algorithm and numerical class/race limit in the Core Books, meaning a select few nerds were qualified to don the moniker of Dungeon Master and teach non-silly hat players a layman's summary of the rules.

This has caused contention, as anybody who can comprehend simple concepts needs only to read the PHB to get it. There's still hash dumps and value flag checks going on behind die rolls, but on the surface it amounts to little more than "Your number plus or minus this number needs to be equal or more than this number to pass or fail." You no longer get to feel special for being a Mathlete.

The other argument I've heard is that the game has been made too easy and too accommodating. You used to need 2000 XP to level up from 1. Now you only need 200. Fighters used to start out as tanks but would gradually lose their significance as glass cannon magic users leveled up to God-tier status. Any race can be any class with no restrictions, so Hobbit Barbarians and Half-Orc Paladins. I dunno. I always thought DMs had final say in controlling how balanced their game was, but I suppose mileage varies.

Oh is this why there's a lesbian knight quest in act 4 of DOS2 out of the blue.

That really struck me as weird, like it was kinda jarring, especially since the NPC runs towards you screaming about their wife about to executed.

One of their developers is friends with Brianna Wu. My only hope is the game turns out alright in spite of that.

My computer isn't good enough to run Larian's other games and I doubt it will be able to run Baldur's Gate III, so I probably won't know how good any of it is for a while.

You could probably run Divine Divinity*, it's from 2002. Probably Beyond Divinity too. The ones after that are like, 3d so you might be stuck.

*Yes, it's a silly name and no, the developers didn't want to call it that.

Shows how little I know of Larian. I thought Original Sin was the first Divinity game. Mostly because there's an Original Sin 2.

I'm more interested in Edwin. Shame that his/her fate is sealed at the end of BG2.

Oh, that would cause screeching nowadays. Edwin's loyalty quest in BG2 and how the nether scroll he finds and deciphers turns out to be a sex change spell. Then everyone jokingly hits on him and refers to how "Edwina" still had big flapping man hands and an Adam's apple. They got bent out of shape over the transphobic poem in Pillars so imagine how they'd get when that happened.

The first line Edwin says is, "this is bad." Imagine that!
 
So this is tangentially related to Baldur's Gate III, but I wanna bring it up because it's interesting.

The Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, and Neverwinter Nights are coming to Nintendo Switch.
 
I think the failure of Siege of Dragonspear killed whatever hopes Beamdog had of making original content. They hired David Gaider once he left BioWare, they had a rumored original project in the making with some decent looking leaked art, and then... nothing. Gaider left without adding anything new to his resume and the rumored project was never brought up again, and now the only thing they've been doing for the last few years is 'enhancing' Neverwinter Nights.
 
As a cRPG virgin who has only played three (3) cRPGs, all of which were Fallout games; would you recommend Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, etc? I know not to expect guns of course, but I wonder how close those games are to actual DnD. I know they're based off the editions of it, but I'm curious if some things are streamlined?

Please buy and play Planescape: Torment.

You only ever need to worry about one character's stats, and of that character's stats only three matter for the entire game. Dump points into WIS, INT and a few into CON and you will have an absolute blast avoiding combat by doing things like convincing your enemies they don't exist.
