I remember when Dungeons and Dragons came in a small box and had two paperback books and some funny looking dice. I was it the school board meeting in Utah trying to outlaw the game during recess when David Arneson spoke at it...
I played the game sometimes bi-weekly both as a player and as a DM I bought all the modules. I played temple of Apshi on a TSR 80 computer, and all other programs ported from the game to computer, but, I haven't found one that encompasses the feel or the flavor of the game as Baldur's Gate does.
Okay let me say it would be easier to list the things I don't like about the game rather than me list the things I do like...
1) Character generation: some of us are use to fudging on the stats... No fudging here. Well, there is a little... The games rolls the dice, and gives you a random number of points (usually 10) to put anywhere. Trouble is if one attribute is strong the others are pretty weak... Also, it would be easier to name the character class after the dice roll rather than before it.
2) Remapping some areas that have been mapped before. A minor complaint.
3) Character voices... I find them saying the same thing over and over again annoying, but, what's a person to do.
4) Sometimes the characters do goofy things, like walk into a spiders web and then die on you... or get separated from the part by a wall. I blame that on the current state of AI
Overall. If you like the pen and pencil game you'll like the computer game, now only if they would let me play a half-ogre.
