Baldur's Gate vs. Diablo

First: Yea that was before your post, my bad. After you made your second post I should have known you have played real RPGs. Again my bad 🙂

Two: indeed there are more options and there is A LOT more freedom. Personally

Three: Yes only 5 hours, as I said I dislike Computer RPGs, I never ever buy one I only play a tad at friends their houses if I get bored.

Four: No I play RTS and some FPS (altho very slightly)

Five: The problem starts at character creation (that is if I remember correctly -been a while-): But I am fairly sure I remember you could take a reroll on your stats if you were displeased with them the first time. Could be mixing it up with another RPG though in that case my bad 🙂

Yip too bad they all are bloody expensive.

I had a PS1 and my bro has a PS2 don't play on it too often tho.

Well that's one of the reasons why I think the game sucks.

lol that well was applied to the stats thingy, not the console.

I played it on comp.

Character creation for the console involved picking among one of several premade characters. . .

And then you played a very linear game with a scant few sidequests . . .

The options were sorely limited to make it more of an action/adventure game than a real RPG. . . sure you leveled up and all but it wasn't much.

That's not it, I don't mind a challenging game.
I just hate the "role playing" gerne it ain't roleplaying certainly not diablo.

I disagree, diablo was a good game, but BG was better, 5 hours of gameplay in BG don't equate to much though....

diablo didn't have any real roleplay in it, all it was was walking around with a character clearing a dungeon. Sure you had that little village and stuff. But that still doesn't make it a role playing game.

5 hours was enough to see that the game is far from being able to call itself a role playing game.

Now Cresh that totally sucks.

More of an action adventure game like Gauntlet than an actual RPG.

I agree Diablo was the McDonalds version of Baldur's Gate.
