After all this time BG still has new mods coming out. People with new ideas and such, keep the game alive.

That is awesome

"For the most part, this statement is illogical and flawed beyond belief."

 

How is it illogical?

 

Bioware still supports NWN with patches, and official content. When was the last time they did anything for BG series?

 

Sure, you can point to the mere handful of player still foolinga round with BG's corpse; but that's nothing compared to the thousands still playing NWN.

 

Not to mention the coming of NWN2 which will only enhance the Greatest Game Series ever's legacy for many years to come.

 

LONG LIVE NWN AND AURORA!!!

A game is only as alive as its developer and publisher gives it support.

BG series is dead. Dead, dead, dead. Why are you people playing with a corpse?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Because Return to Windspear still hasn't come out yet.

I must have missed all these user made mods that supposedly add game play to the BG series.

 

The only ones I've downloaded and played include stuff like skipping Irenicus' dungeon, and a more balanced end battle.

 

I haven't seen (or tried) any that add extra content or actually change the game.

The only major BG mod I played was Dark Side of the Sword Coast. It was... good in it s day and quite ambitious. I still wouldn't mind seeing a NWN module based on the Baldur's Games or Icewind Dale. Have a party of yourself and 5 NPCs on a full dungeon romp could be fun.

One thing that helps a game's replayability is the mods one can download.  The various Mods for KotOR 1, KotOR 2, and Neverwinter Nights have greatly extended thier lifespan.  Hell, if NWN 2 has the lifespan of NWN 1 then the future looks great indeed.

I was thinking, and I think it's a bit of a misnomer to call this "replayability." It's certainly longevity, but you're experiencing different stories

no

Define "all the way through."    In the 6 years or so BG2 has been out, I've definitely started close to 100 games, but you've caught me, I probably only finished half to a third of them all the way to the final cutscene.  Usually I'd get this great idea for a new character and...

 

Well, you get the picture. 

 

Yes, I have too much time on my hands.  Thanks for pointing that out!  LOL!

I'm done had enough of this! ^_^

Imoen

Alas - poor sweet Immy, Jaheira any many more post-BG2 have fallen victim to Bioware's bizarre ratty pigtail fetish. <_<

For some reason I can hear Imoen saying that

You're a queer fellow.

Heya, it's me, Imoen!

Wat'cha want?

If I'm right now Atari has the rights for BG, true?

Any news on a possible BG3?

See Atari Boo, run Boo, run!

The game is alive provided that fans make mods to bring new content or create fix packs to correct bugs.

I only count official support as being alive. Continual fan made mods and upgrades on a game means that the game is on life support.

My good man, with the fans still showing support, it is alive and well.

Nope. Fans are not official support.

Besides having a handful of fans still playing/modding is nothing to brag about. Even TOEE has that many. Hah!

Let's hope not. It ended in Throne of Bhaal and we don't need another.

We don't need a continuation of the Bhaalspawn saga. But I think we do need another BG.

Nope.  Fans are not official support.

Who cares?? Support is support. Damn talking to you is like talking to a wall at times.
