Baldur's Gate 3 has blown away expectations and redefined what an RPG can be, and that may put Bethesda's upcoming Starfield in a rough spot.

I agree this a statement from an ignorant. I love BG3 but it is just an Ultima but better. With today technology.

Upvote for mentioning Ultima and making me laugh this morning.

I compared the BG3's Start Screen that has the party opening the door in the cave and the party exploring with torches to Ultima's start screen with the party fighting monsters.

OMG thanks for the link. Nostalgia intensifie!

My first Ultima was the two, but I was super young. Then I played a lot to the six. Finally Ultima 7 with serpent Isle extension was the sweet slap in the coconuts.

In my book it stayed for years rhe best RPG (with underworld 2).

Good times.

I first played Ultima 3. I was a teen and thought the game was huge. Then Ultima 4 was a lot bigger. I love the music and have the music for the Wanderer as my cell phone ring. It sounds very different than any other ring I can always tell it is my phone.

Fun times.
