I've never played any of the Baldurs Gate games, do you guys reckon I will need to have played the originals first? Cos this games sounds great!
From what I've read, while there'll be a few nods and references you might only get if you've played the original games; the game can be played with no need to have played the originals.
Also, if you do decide to pick up the original two games, keep in mind they were made back in the THAC0 days.
