Even combat system is better in BG yes im going to be flamed for this but sometimes its just anoying waiting for you turn while in BG in shorter time you give commands to whole team and in F1&F2 you control only 1 npc and we know how this ends "omg my back i told you not to use burst..."
Well, rather than flaming you for this (I could but shouldn't, cause technically both combat systems are pretty buggy and have their share of problems), I will flame you for the following:
Dident play Planescape: Tourment i just looked at screenshots and i said im not buying it...
WTF kind of buying strategy is that? Although, it's you not me missing out on a great game so what should I care.
About Dialogue options well i think BGII has more dialogue than F1 or F2...
Well, and FO3 may have as much dialogue as a BG or old FO game. But is it well-written? There are a few good talks in BG, and the party banter is fun and good (not without halp of mods though, otherwise you rarely even get party banter), but ther rest is just boring and uninspired (Bioware style); plus, BG dialogue barely ever changes depending on the character race, class, etc. FO had an interesting dialogue for almost every other NPC you can talk to, and could change a lot because of skills and stats. Arcanum was average overall, but I was surprised how thoroughly reactions (and a lot of dialogue) change in regards to class and play style.
Dont get me wrong i love both series i have everything orginal but im preaty sure amount of dialogues is bigger in BG series plus when the npc starts talk to each other well it gets preaty funny when you have 3 chicks in team and they start to fight each other and one asks you whos right you read whole dialogue again to not piss anyone off
Well, I guess I'm wasting my time, since you're implying that you didn't bother to even read most of dialogue in FO. Surely, you can guess-click, skim or use a walkthrough, but of course you'll miss all the fun stuff.
Graphics? hands down BG series still have one of best visual thing i saw in my life none of this 3d crap bloom and other shity effects still F2 looks better than most modern games in 800x600...
I guess we're talking mods again. The original BG was 640x480 and had some of the crappiest 3d gfx for the "classic" rpg. Even Diablo looked better. BG2 was better though. I'd still argue that the best Black Isle game gfx would have to go to IWD1 or Lionheart. Though, admittedly, if the game is good enough, gfx don't matter. Final Fantasy III NES (J) is one of my favourite old RPGs, for example.
. They are not really worth hunting for unless you come across them in a bargain bin or such. (They are both less than 8h mindless shooters... I mean side scrolling medieval games set in 3-D envirolments)
