Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance A HALF Told Story In a HALF-Made Game
the full video of my adventure through BGDA. these videos are more of passion projects than anything. In the middle of making it, I ended up moving and that really gave me the push to get this one completed although I am hard on this game I really did love it as a kid. i think taking off the rose-tinted glasses was good for me. I have played and recorded BGDA 2 and it is SO MUCH better. and will probably be the next video I work on. I have already beaten it twice before even playing BGDA1 so maybe that way this game was such a drag. But it WAS A FUN GAME and a star cast it was a nice nostalgic ride.

I recently played this on Easy and Normal, and the mountain pass in Act 2 is practically unfair, regardless. Dark Alliance is a potion chugging game, and being cut off from the merchant with no warning is brutal. Especially with enemies being tougher than what you fought before. Sorceress was the easiest to play. Not at first, because of her reliance on mana. But all you need is Melf's Acid Arrow and Ball Lightning. The Arrow will hold you over until you can get Ball Lightning, which will then obliterate everything except the final boss. Who is weak to the Acid Arrow.

@TheArchieangel907 2 месяца назад

The mountain pass in probably the point where ALOT of people quit. On hard it don’t think I expressed just how frustrating it was to just die over and over .. I wish I hadn’t played the archer I now think it was the weakest of the three options 😂

@arellajardin8188 2 месяца назад

@TheArchieangel907 I didn't play the Archer, but I imagine if it's played mostly ranged, it'd be OK. By Act 3, you're swimming in money, so buying arrows wouldn't be too bad. Since you found out armor is useless, I think the fighter might be rough on Hard. I only played him on Easy.

When this game came out the graphics were revolutionary. Compare it to other 2001 titles and you'll see what I mean. Jak and Daxter, MGS2, ICO, DMC, GTA3 all came out that year. This game not only had fully animated lip-synced dialogue done well, complete with matching gestures and eye movement, but a robust physics engine that had fully simulated water ripples and object trajectory that not only made finding loot enjoyable as it popped out of barrels that break realistically, but also had chunks of flesh fly out of enemies and paint the scene with blood splatter. Almost everything has physics. You can see now the places where they maybe didn't put as much attention into the animation budget such as Ciraxis or your idle animation but when the game first came out we spent a good while running through the water being amazed it was actually tracking everything AND having a good polygon count. Character models looked straight up real compared to what was on offer at the time.

Eldrith is still one of my favorite final bosses, but I definitely agree with you on her lack of build-up. And the boob physics are phenomenal.

I played this when it came out, couch co-op with my wife. She has barely played any video games of any kind, and she’s largely not interested, but she loved this game. It was simple, so she knew what to do. She wasn’t very good of course, but we had a lot of fun. My wife was very amused by the innkeeper. Anyone who says women don’t want to see objectified women in video games is definitely generalizing because my wife was more fascinated by the innkeepers boobs than I was.

You can exploit bosses for XP by importing the character back to the save before a boss. Just make a new file after you beat it and then load up the old one to change the character and just repeat.

Ill have to find a copy. I’ve already had a few people tell me it’s REALY good.

@KrusherMike 2 месяца назад

@TheArchieangel907 It's old school, so you gotta be patient with the UI. Outside of that, they've aged really well. The graphics even have a sort of charm that makes 'em almost timeless. I have the .iso files for Champions and Return ripped off the PS2 disks if you find the need for 'em. 😎

No, Black Rock Studios had nothing to do with these games. They were not a subsidiary of Interplay either. Even if wikipedia entry for the game says so. You only needed to look at the splash screens before the main menu to realize that it's Black Isle Studio and that the Wikipedia entry is wrong
