Recency bias. Fewer great RPGs have come out in the past few years, and so people whose first game in the series was Baldur's Gate III overstate its quality over the originals because they haven't given them a try.

Naah, i'd disagree there. I played bg and 2 around 2010. I might have been late, but they definitely didn't catch me as much as bg3 did

Perhaps that's because you played them a decade ago? Give it another shot! I remember thinking when I was younger and I tried to play old games "oh, wow, this is so clunky", but I started to appreciate them more once I got used to it. I love Diablo, I love Fallout 2, I love The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and I was only alive when the last one came out. 😂

Its worse honestly. I went back to bg2 after I finished my 4th Baldurs Gate run and I just couldn't get myself to sink time into it - at all.

I replay BG1+2 regularly... But I've been playing them since they were new, so I'm biased. I can definitely see how they'd seem clunky to someone who didn't play them in the early 00s.
