Mass Effect
Scandanavian War Machine:
man, that sounds fucking sweet
ackblom12:
Baldur's Gate II was a pretty amazing game. You should try it out if you haven't!
Alex C:
My love for BG2 is unconditional. I don't even really bother to compare other games to it because it seems rather unfair, all things considered. Voice acting and cut scenes ares pretty much de rigueur these days, and scripting events into an otherwise fairly wide open game world is tricky enough as it is; BGII was actually rather buggy when it first came out. I don't honestly expect to see a game that matches its odd combination of linearity and breadth while still adhering to modern day presentation standards any time soon. When I call a game like Mass Effect one of my favorites, I just mean it's entered the Pantheon of my affections, not that it really matches up with BG2 or Fallout. It also doesn't hurt that those games came into my life back when I still cared perhaps a bit too much about video games in general.
Be My Head:
I would put Morrowind on the same level as BG2, I think. Baldur's Gate has the whole isometric thing going for it though, I love that.
Alex C:
I'm not a big Bethesda fan, although Morrowind is better than their other stuff, even if I didn't really particularly care for it that much. I'm comfortable with supplying my own narrative, but only up to a point. Morrowind has a fair amount of freedom but years later, I can't really remember any particularly memorable quests or even who the major bad guy was, whereas I wrote the stuff about the Baldur's Gate II quests pretty much off the top of my head.
Objectively, Morrowind has more substance than BG2 did, but I didn't give a shit about any of it. The books you could pick up and read throughout the game were generally more interesting than anything that ever happened to my character.
