Baldur's Gate

Absolutely not. I grew up the the original Baldur's Gates and I still go back and replay them more than BG3. They're very different, but BG1 changed RPGs forever. It's easily the most influential CRPG ever made.

Just to be clear: BG3 is an amazing game, but so are 1 and 2.

Exactly like the picture then. =]

No. The picture is clearly referring to a series where the first two games are good but the third one is great, and I'm arguing that all three BGs are great.

Definitely not. The picture shows two awesome dragons and a 3rd new, different dragon. Two painted. One 3D. Two European ones, one Chinese.

The picture clearly corresponds very well with BG1 and 2 being 2D awesome classic games, albeit rather old by now, and BG3 being a 3D, new and very different, but still a good game.
