  Dude. We are HERE BECAUSE OF the length of the videos. We want them long! We want them detailed! And we are willing to wait for them for as long as we have to! Good luck with Baldur's Gate 2! It's a timeless masterpiece, but it really gets difficult at times. Think carefully, tread lightly and change your character to a male, because otherwise, you will lose an amazing romance with a particular dark-skinned lady :) Enjoy!

  The most memorable line from the original Baldur's Gate was without doubt "You must gather your party before venturing forth!"

  The crashing issue is probably fixed. Just got done with a 60 hour play through that didn&apos;t crash once.

  It is batshit insane how difficult it is to find a decent retrospective on the Baldur&apos;s Gate series given its incredible influence on the genre and industry. <br><br>And it&apos;s even more frustrating that it took about fifteen pages of YouTube&apos;s dumbass algorithm to find this video after 100 videos that were just short clips, reviews and memes that had nothing to do with retrospectives. <br><br>I know this video is old, and I haven&apos;t checked to see if you&apos;re still making content, but I hope you are and I appreciate the work you&apos;ve already done

  &quot;Dr.&quot; is a title - Doctor is a profession. <br><br>It is correct to refer to someone with doctorate as &quot;Dr.&quot;, irrespective of what they do for a living

  Alot of the issues that you ran into with your partymembers came because of the fact that you let the AI control them. The game becomes ALOT easier and becomes more fun when you micro manage them yourselves. It feels daunting at first but quikly improves on the gameplay alot so much so that youd probably wonder how you managed without it :)

  When you were talking about the character creation being a bit complex I felt like pointing out that a lot of the complexity actually comes from Baldurs Gate 2. The original didn&apos;t have so much in the way of sub-classes and had fewer weapon skills and such. But the Enhanced Edition took a lot of the original content and essentially laid the BG2 skin over it. This was good for people who had played both games back in the day, as the sequel added much more than the original, but I agree it would be a bit daunting when now even the first entry has as much complexity as the sequel.

  It would have been informative to mention just how many people still play the game and that there is a vibrant community existing around it that will give advice, who are still creating content and who are still arguing about whether you should take Minsc or Edwin with you or kill them on sight (as there is argument about every other NPC, every character build, every optimum power build, dwarf or elf, good or evil ect.). For anybody considering playing such an old game, that&apos;s important because if they do like it, or are having difficulties, there is opportunity to talk about it and get help.
