Rockstar missed a really obvious opportunity. How can you have 3 playable characters and not have some sort of coop mode? That would be sick if you could have friends jump in as other characters in story mode.
But BG2 was followed up by NWN. Its original campaign was nuBioware levels of bad.
As someone who has recently been doing GTA lately. 100%. But I also feel like a lot of that comes down to R* greed and the fact that they don't balance money-making activities in a fair and reasonable way.
Sure, but BioWare redeemed themselves with the expansions and people were willing to accept that a company just made a bad game. That's all BioWare does now.
That's why I quit playing. I sunk a big portion of my money (never did shart cards) into starting a biker gang and buying a meth lab. I'm very white trash so this seemed like a natural progression. I had to deliver product in a box truck from the desert to the LS docks. Box truck gets blown up by some fuck stick on a flying motorcycle with rockets. Build product back up and the same shit happens. At that point I said fuck this and quit playing entirely.
They could do that, but the flying motorcycle is a flying advertisement. If you want to beat it and progress, you will need to buy something as good or better.
Shit, you're right, I confused it with Icewind Dale. Sorry.
Despite the game featuring three people working together, very few of the missions would allow meaningful co op content. We're talking like 4 or 5 missions tops. Even less if you're talking about all three together, and they'd be painfully easy/dull once you have three actual players in control.
Also Black Isle's successor made NWN2 - that game's original campaign is shit too.
When I played GTA Online (PC), I completed many trouble-free haulage loads by using the Network Disconnect Trick:
There's easier methods. You can simply set up an outbound rule in Windows Defender Firewall to block remote ports 6672, 61455, 61457, 61456 and 61458 under UDP Protocol. This will cause you to always load into an empty public lobby.
The first one plays a lot more like a boomer shooter with linear levels and unforgiving stealth, and it's the only one not developed by Ubisoft. It's basically Far Cry only in name, pretty damn good but excruciatingly difficult.
I found most of the characters a lot more sympathetic and charismatic. None of them really matched Ryan, but the quality of the cast was better. I liked the Dad finding his kidnapped daughter, the Blues singer, and Sinclair. Lamb was not Ryan, but she was a better villain than Atlas/ Fontaine.
