Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2 isn’t fun now but that’s not the point
Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is old, clunky and boring, but at the same time I am entranced by it. This is history I’m playing; the game is 18 years old. There’s nothing you can do short of remaking it that’s going to make it feel young and exciting again – and Wizards of the Coast tried that last year with Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance, and look how that turned out (clue: not well). So all those lumps and bumps I feel while playing it – all those things that have been smoothed by the many waves of action role-playing games since – I don’t mind them. In fact, I love them, because they’re what revisiting Dark Alliance 2 is all about.
