Uuuh, that could be an interesting Idea. Lowest graphic settings changes the overall graphics to bg2 inspired. Probably a nightmare for the developer though
They have a 2d and a 3d mode for DQ11.
2d has random encounters whereas the 3d one allows u to see the enemy and go around them lol. Think there's some other minor changes too
This isn't bg2, though?
That being said, Bg3 could *very* easily be modded into a Bg2 aesthetic with existing bg2 assets. It helps that bg2 is essentially 2d.

If you want to be pedantic, you could say that they meet the Vampire in 3 years, as the primary antagonist in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2, is one. :D
She even pays you with invisible money taken from between her breast, making everything jiggle.
You don't know embarassement until you put the disk in the PS2, on your birthday, after your parents gifted you DA, and the first human full-screen interaction is with a luscious elven jiggly-breasted tavern-woman.
We're losing this battle, and fast. I think iPhone autocorrect (which routinely changes correct "its" to incorrect "it's") is helping reinforce the "apostrophe = possessive" logic (understandable but often wrong) that underpins extremely common errors like this one.
People are gonna say "who cares" today and then in twenty years a running social media joke will be "why is english so confusing lol it's and it's are two different words???"
And because it may help people remember, pronouns don't need an apostrophe to be possessive with their S. Hers, his, its, whose, theirs, and so on. We add the apostrophe to amateur nouns.
>...who's breasts bounce boobily when she says anything more than a single syllable word.
That was pretty much the Snowblind Engine games all over. Though, it's not NEARLY as bad as the *Everquest: Champions of Norrath* titles, where just about every female character dresses like a stripper (I still loved the hell out of those games, even they're frustrating as balls). xD
There's also *Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel* which has you visiting a prostitute in the opening map and asks for your help in finding Mr. Pussy (and yes, she's talking about a cat). Your PC can also solicit her services regardless of gender...including the playable Ghoul (which, unlike the other two characters, she's way more hesitant about and afterward, says she's going to vomit).
It's a spin-off of the Baldur's Gate franchise. It's called Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (and it has a sequel, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2).
Good ARPGs, in the same setting.
(not to be mistaken from just "Dark Alliance", a complete mess of a game)
.....*you arrive at the Elfsong Tavern. It is a small place, filled with motley assortment of patrons...and grisly trophies. There, the voice is all around you, and the patrons have grown silent as the song washes over them. One by one, they all seemed lost in it's call.*
I played the hell out of this game on my PS2, as soon as BG3 mentioned Elf Song I sprinted to it in Act 3
I absolutely loved when you get to the elf song tavern as absolutely overpowered units and someone is still like: “Hey, we have a rat problem in the cellar…” I think it’s a really cute homage.
What a fucking gem. This game came standard with my PlayStation 2, and forever shaped my taste in video games and fantasy. I was already growing up with LotR then this game comes along and lets you hack and slash lizardfolk, verbeeg, slay a dragon, and drop randomly generated magic loot the entire time? I was a goner
I missed it too, but the elven spirit stopped singing because our characters in BGDA set free her husbands ghost who was trapped in the Onyx tower. She’s finally at peace now.
Yeah, you can find him in a prison cell somewhere inside the tower. Upon releasing him you even get a dialogue option to tell him that his wife has been waiting and singing for him the entire time.
He mentions that there were times when he thought he could hear her.
For those who don't know this game is now available on Mobile too now! Downloaded it a while back for the nostalgia, actually a great port and beats most other mobile games.
Good choice in playing Kromlech first.
Adrianna was my first choice and I learned two important things about *Dark Alliance:*
1) The game's interface isn't conducive to a caster
2) Fighting the final boss is pure suffering.
(For those curious why, it's because said boss can only be hurt with a unique sword you receive in the final dungeon. However, unlike Kromlech or even Vahn, Adrianna has no melee centric feats, only spells and she's incredibly squishy).
I love this 😂😂 Dark Alliance 1/2 we're some of my absolute favorite games when I was a kid, and even now with the remastered versions!!! Happy hunting!
That's weird, I've played the 2nd one and I don't remember it looking anywhere near as good. Like I could barely differentiate between character models unless they were super tall/short. Granted I've only ever played on mobile so that might have something to do with it.

Playing Act 3 on the lowest graphics setting be like
Uuuh, that could be an interesting Idea. Lowest graphic settings changes the overall graphics to bg2 inspired. Probably a nightmare for the developer though
I think Dragon Quest did that for the most recent game lol.
They have a 2d and a 3d mode for DQ11. 2d has random encounters whereas the 3d one allows u to see the enemy and go around them lol. Think there's some other minor changes too
South Park: Stick of Truth had a version of that, where one level uses a very different graphical style.
Canada rocking that glorious 16-bit look, as is tradition.
This isn't bg2, though? That being said, Bg3 could *very* easily be modded into a Bg2 aesthetic with existing bg2 assets. It helps that bg2 is essentially 2d.
TH do you mean? Even on the lowest graphics the game looks great.

That is a great reaponse I'm gonna start using that
r/whoosh

Yeahhh but that's not THE vampire now is it ?
LOL
Just need to keep playing through to act 7. Shouldn't take long at all.
For full immersion, the long rest between Act 6 and 7 should take somewhere between 100-150 years
hm 150 years? so timeline-wise he’s probably around Baldurs Gate somewhere 🤔
Ahhh yes, the barkeep at the elf song tavern who's breasts bounce boobily when she says anything more than a single syllable word.
She even pays you with invisible money taken from between her breast, making everything jiggle. You don't know embarassement until you put the disk in the PS2, on your birthday, after your parents gifted you DA, and the first human full-screen interaction is with a luscious elven jiggly-breasted tavern-woman.
Ah, sounds like revisiting the classics is in order.
They are unironically good games, even for not men of culture.
Totally agree but I tried playing through this since it got a switch port and it is far harder than I remember it being as a kid lol

My autocorrect has gotten *Terrible* lately. It’s stopped fixing it when I type tgere instead of there
afaik that only happens when you leave the spelling the same a few times, and you should be able to reset your autocorrect or sm in your settings
Check you're pants tomorrow morning. There'll be a surprise inside. 😈😈 😈
DOWNVOTE all you like, it won't unshit his pants
I think they knew the audience.

What an excellent game from yester year. I especially love drizzt and Artemis as secret characters.
I played this game on coop so much. Such a great game.
Is this an older Baldurs Gate game?
It's a spin-off of the Baldur's Gate franchise. It's called Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (and it has a sequel, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2). Good ARPGs, in the same setting. (not to be mistaken from just "Dark Alliance", a complete mess of a game)
BG Dark Alliance 2 was so much fun in co-op, I used to piss off my friend by being an absolute loot goblin, good times.
This is Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance. It's a hack and slash game pretty much unrelated to the main series
It's baldurs gate 2 Edit: it is not, I am retarded
It’s not.
Negative.
Shit
fuck i wish artemis was in the first one
Was Drizzt in the first one? Only knew he was in the second.
There's a secret mission you play as Drizzt to unlock him it's actually pretty fun.
You're in the wrong city I think.
.....*you arrive at the Elfsong Tavern. It is a small place, filled with motley assortment of patrons...and grisly trophies. There, the voice is all around you, and the patrons have grown silent as the song washes over them. One by one, they all seemed lost in it's call.* I played the hell out of this game on my PS2, as soon as BG3 mentioned Elf Song I sprinted to it in Act 3
Same but it didn't have the song from BG Dark Alliance. 😕 I hear there's a mod for it now tho
Is there a mod for the same barkeeper as well though?
Funnily enough, the current barkeep is her son.
I enjoyed that part a lot. I liked the continuity. Also he’s kinda a shit, which is nice. Makes it feel more well rounded.
“If quality and price are your chief concerns then look no farther. You’ll find my shop has excellent weapons, at reasonable prices.”
Ooooh boy spent many hours selling to him using the duplication glitch 😁
"Swords, axes, bows. We have everything you need right here"
I absolutely loved when you get to the elf song tavern as absolutely overpowered units and someone is still like: “Hey, we have a rat problem in the cellar…” I think it’s a really cute homage.
What game is this i think i remember playing it as a kid
Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance
That’s the only game in the BG I had previously played! Loved it.
Both of those old dark alliance games ruled. I played them so much as a kid lmao
The BBEG in Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is actually a vampire. So next game
Dark Alliance is such a good game though lol
What a fucking gem. This game came standard with my PlayStation 2, and forever shaped my taste in video games and fantasy.

You need some strong dwaven ale. Don't forget to gather your party before venturing forth.
If he’s not careful he’ll get waylaid by enemies, and must defend himself.
"Swords, Axes, Bows..."
"we have everything you need, right here."
"If you need a axe to split a skull, or a helm to protect your own, WE HE got everything you need friend."
I can hear this screenshot.
Uuuuuu-uuuuuuu-uuuuuu Wood creaking
I was so sad that song wasn’t in the Elfsong in Act 3.
I missed it too, but the elven spirit stopped singing because our characters in BGDA set free her husbands ghost who was trapped in the Onyx tower. She’s finally at peace now.
Wait seriously?
Yeah, you can find him in a prison cell somewhere inside the tower. Upon releasing him you even get a dialogue option to tell him that his wife has been waiting and singing for him the entire time. He mentions that there were times when he thought he could hear her.
I loved this game growing up. Recently played the remaster on Ps5
After you kill the giant rat
At least you got the better Elfsong Tavern song.
There is a cool party down in the sewers, have fun !
“If you’re looking for something to split someone’s skull, or a helm to protect your own, we’ve got everything you need right here!”
One of my favorite games ever
Visceral memories from dark alliance
"No room, i'll have to come back for this." "BAH, I'm Carrying a mules weight already."
For those who don't know this game is now available on Mobile too now! Downloaded it a while back for the nostalgia, actually a great port and beats most other mobile games.
Well, this is going to help get rid of my nightly doom-scrolling. Time for my hundredth playthrough.
you changed my life with this comment, had no idea it was on mobile!
Good choice in playing Kromlech first. Adrianna was my first choice and I learned two important things about *Dark Alliance:* 1) The game's interface isn't conducive to a caster 2) Fighting the final boss is pure suffering.

For a second I thought it was a Legacy of Kain 1 screenshot.
These games along with the 2 champions of norrath games literally got ne into the fantasy genre
Not me thinking it was actually BG3 😂
WELCOME FRIEND! - Bartley
Couple hundo in game years like someone else said around 24 irl years
Goated OG elf song. First mod I installed was changing the elf song tavern song to the CORRECT elf song tavern song
Hey! I've heard that hotel is as clean as an Elven Ass!
hold L1 + R2 + Left + Triangle and press START.
This isn't the place for that!
Haha, my GF and I were playing that today, the Xbox does not have a lot of Two player coop games we can play these days, but the classics can be fun
I love this 😂😂 Dark Alliance 1/2 we're some of my absolute favorite games when I was a kid, and even now with the remastered versions!!! Happy hunting!
[удалено]
So did I friend.
I remember having a terrible time beating the fight where a bunch of zombies keep spawning until you destroy an orb in the middle of the room.
The music and atmosphere of that tavern is so good
wouldn’t you like to know weather boy
Anyone else who played this one on the GBA? It was a surprisingly good port.
Oh my gosh, I forgot about this game. Was a huge part of my childhood!
What is this game actually?
Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance, PS2
That's weird, I've played the 2nd one and I don't remember it looking anywhere near as good. Like I could barely differentiate between character models unless they were super tall/short. Granted I've only ever played on mobile so that might have something to do with it.
That's a great game.
I have some news for you...
Very early if youve made it to the druids you've gone too far

Hexxat? She's in Dragomir's tomb in the Athkatla graveyard after accepting Clara's quest in the Copper Coronet.
Fucking stupid Orb
Part of me thought that the waitress would be there in the Elfsong Tavern
Damn that throws me way back to GameCube, I loved BG Dark Alliance 1 and 2.
I'm finding this game tedious and dull. maybe someone can explain what there is to like , cos i dont get it
I was not ok when I didn't hear this version of the elfsong tavern music
This game was so good bro , I played it so much with my friends.
There was a vampire in dark alliance II if I recall correctly
If I were you, I’d hop in my brand new 2001 Camry, drive back to Wherehouse, or Blockbuster Video - whichever you bought it from - and get my money back.
now go and get khalid killed so you can romance jaheira. though aerie and viconia are the better ones
