Having a newer version of the game that they can just click "install" and then click "play" on are ideal fore these kinds of people.Įspecially when you get into older versions of games that, while they still technically run on modern OS's, may have issues or inconveniences that modern games don't have, and people won't want. Why spend that time learning how to even "run" the game when they can just be playing it instead? (Edit, my brother is also in the pretty damned busy category, what with kids and all.) Remember, just because you know such and such mod website is relatively safe doesn't mean that everyone does. People like my cousin who are busy busy busy who have better things to do than learning which mods are what, where they can be obtained reliably, and if there's anything special that needs to be done to install them. (My brother was guilty of this one, and he's not exactly stupid by any means, just not computer savvy sometimes.) People that might, say, accidentally end up installing malware on my mother's laptop making me deal with the headache of removing it all. I know plenty of intelligent adults who may enjoy a game like Baldur's gate or Icewind Dale but quite frankly have limited entertainment time, and/or limited experience with installing programs on computers. I'm relatively neutral on the whole deal myself (the existence of the EEs that is), but acting like its simple for everyone or its how it "should" be done is the naive thing. Just because you have the time and know how to dig up all the third party mods and install them doesn't mean other people do. The BG saga is now my favorite gaming experience of all time, and Dav's extremely in-depth guides had a lot to do with it.Molerat: This attitude is one thing that always irked me (to say the least) about some of the anit-EE people. I was completely 100% brand new to Baldur's Gate a few years ago, and Dav's guides absolutely changed the way I saw the game. And because his perspective is in terms of SCS Insane Difficulty perma death, his gameplay advice is excellent.īTW, his twitch stream if you're interested: His guides on youtube are simply way more detailed and exhaustive than anything else you can find. Arguably the most experienced person out there when it comes to Baldur's Gate at it's most challenging. He's a twitch streamer who does nothing but modded (SCS) Insane difficulty (double damage) perma-death no-reload runs through the saga.
