Of course, I'm sure the free marketing didn't hurt, either. Interplay had lost the rights to the D&D license but not the Baldur's Gate license, so they were free to make D&D games so long as they had the name 'Baldur's Gate' in the title.

Fun fact: Apparently the reason why the Dark Alliance games were a part of the Baldur's Gate series was because of a loophole. The problem with the game isn't that it's nowhere near as fun as the other Fallout games (like you say, they exist and are still there regardless of this nonsense), it's that it just isn't fun at all. Nothing like the fun of the BG games, which of course makes the terrible writing and environment mentioned above all the more noticeable.

None of the witty dialogue, none of the humour, just 'RAR GRAR ME BIG BADASS DUDE OR LADY WIFF GUNS N STUFF!' with the occasional 'look at how edgy I'm being over here!' swear word.Īnd the gameplay is just lousy. So they completely miss the point on the setting. With that enjoyment in mind I gave BoS a go, hoping for a fun romp a la the BG console games, in a Fallout-ish setting. They weren't valuable contributions to the BG series story-wise and really didn't seem to need to be BG games at all, but they were fun to play and that's often good enough. Like with Dark Alliance, I can mentally write that 'Fallout' out of the title and just enjoy the game as 'Brotherhood of Steel.'ĭjr: I really enjoyed those Dark Alliance games as well. When I want Fallout, I can play Fallout, and BoS being a big departure from that isn't a big deal, to me. So it seems that BoS is a similar kind of game, so I'm asking: Is the game any good if you imagine that it's got nothing to do with the Fallout series? Like, is the reason it's hated on because it's not what Fallout is about, or because it's actually a bad game? If it's the first one, I can handle it. Never saw any tie-in with the PC games, and heck, for all intents and purposes, I never considered it a Baldur's Gate game at all. The key is, I went into them with the expectation of it being a hack-and-slash action RPG. KingCrimson250: I know it gets a ton of hate dumped on it for butchering the series.īut, I'm a long-time Baldur's Gate fan (got the original shortly after it came out and have played the trilogy umpteen times since) and I actually quite enjoyed the Dark Alliance games.
