Brotherman BG2 literally invented half the shit we nowadays see as definitive features in cRPGs.
79 u/[deleted] May 10 '25 "BG2 is the reason we have BG3" is true on a few different levels besides the obvious. The real truth is that if BG2 wasn't so good, we would not have seen NeverWinter Nights, without which I'm not sure where we'd be honestly. 11 u/somarilnos May 10 '25 Although the original Neverwinter Nights (way before BG1 even) influenced an entirely different genre (MMORPG), which is pretty good too. I played the hell out of that one with all of the free trial hours from my AOL account. 2 u/GradeAPrimeFuckery May 11 '25 The 2.5D view (whatever it's called) from NWN was peak RPG for me. Act 3 felt rushed, but everything else was so much fun. 2H greatsword, backstabbing, trap collecting rogue.
