Reply #26: I've never played the original Baldur's gate

[Hippo_Tron]

Just the X-box versions, which I found pretty good. I don't really have the patience for RPGs anymore. I actually played Everquest for quite a while and the social interaction in the game fascinated me. Of course, I later realized that some of the people on there don't socially interact off of the internet, which makes it difficult for people who don't play 24/7 to actually get anywhere in the game.

Like Baldur's gate, though, in Everquest your actions have consequences. You could attempt to kill certain people, but if you do succeed, your standing with that group of people goes down. If a certain group doesn't like you, they won't help you later on when you may need them for a quest. If they REALLY don't like you, they will attack you whenever they see you.
