There's just something so nice about prerendered games, they look so crisp and just pop on the screen chefs-kiss This is lineage 1 a korean mmorpg I've been playing on a private server. I'm planning on downloading diablo, diablo 2, and fallout to keep scratching this itch.

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, and then Planescape Torment, will absolutely scratch your itch.

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2,

Downloading BG 1 off internet archive rn

The Enhanced Editions are worth it if you're playing on modern hardware. I'd add in Icewind Dale, too, if you want a more linear CRPG expierence.

Icewind Dale 1 & 2 are both excellent and worth playing if you like BG and Planescape. There is an Enhanced Edition for Icewind 1, but the source for 2 was lost so Beamdog didn't do an official EE for it. However some modders did make an unofficial Icewind Dale 2 EE mod which is very good and fixes a bunch of stuff, highly recommended if you want to play it too.

I've only played a little of ID2 when I was younger - definitely going to look into this. Thanks!

I grabbed it off goggames, it's the gog version.

If it has Beamdog in the opening, it's the EE. That includes having the first game on the BG2 engine, some extra class options, support for modern resolutions, and a few new characters/quests that feel a bit PS360 era Bioware (but work fine enough, I don't personally have complaints about them).

You might also have the Beamdog produced expansion, Siege of Dragonspear, that takes place between the two games.

Be sure to use pauses as needed in combat - it took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure that out for these Infinity Engine games lol

play it with the bg2 engine, it really is much better that way. there used to be a mod for this.
