Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur's Gate 2 and Baldur's Gate 2: The Throne of Bhaal have all aged tremendously well over the last 10+ Years.

Some of the finest RPG's ever. Fact. Back before BioWare started being poopoo.

So true. Ever since Jade Empire their games have gone from bad to worse. Yes, that includes KOTOR, maybe for consoles that was considered "HOLY SHIT!" but in reality it was just a very dumbed down NWN.

You must be mad if you dislike KOTOR...just sayin' ;)

I have to reiterate that it was a dumbed down NWN, thus making it bad just out of principle. Where there were hundreds (literally) spells, dozens of feats, and a dozen skills in NWN. There were just some handfuls of each in KOTOR. Not to even mention all the smaller intricacies that were in NWN from D&D 3.5 which got removed or dumbed to shit for the sake of the scrubs in KOTOR.

In fact, I clearly remember playing it (don't remember the name of the specific class), but it was like I was playing my fighter in NWN, except with a lightsaber instead of swords, and I don't think I even made it past the very first planet. I ended up just replaying Hordes of the Undrendark on my monk in NWN.
