[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7448271, member: 20564"] BTW, in the same ida as the two Balder's Gate's games was Icewind Dale. Same basic idea, you know what you are getting into. Oh, and if you haven't played them yet, the old Dragon Age games and Mass Effect games. Which as first-person and not turn-based. It's three person teams and you only have full control over yourself in terms of both build and actions - you level up the others and cangive orders, but not Dragon Age: Origins had a lot of replay value but it's a bit dated. DA2 was a much smaller scope which made people not like it as much, but I loved Varrick and the other NPCs. Dragon Age: Inquisition suffered from too much to do that it felt like nothing but sidequests. It was the most mature of them, and had some great NPCs. My advice if you play is not to spend too much time in the opening area - it's got trillions of sidequests that you will keep discovering and you'll be doing those instead of plot-relevant and interesting quests. Not that there isn't relevant ones there, just don't fall down the completionist rabbit hole. MA2 was my favorite of them, but do them in order and import your saves. I enjoyed the fourth Mass Effect, ME: Andromeda up to a point, but never finished it. But it's a whole separated plot line then the first three. The DAs are on sale right now on Origin. The MEs go on sale frequently on Steam and Origin. [/QUOTE]
