This is history I&#8217;m playing; the game is 18 years old. There&#8217;s nothing you can do short of remaking it that&#8217;s going to make it feel young and exciting again &#8211; and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/dungeons-dragons-dark-alliance-review-a-bad-first-impression-but-its-a-grower\">Wizards of the Coast tried that last year with Dungeons &#038; Dragons: Dark Alliance<\/a>, and look how that turned out (clue: not well). So all those lumps and bumps I feel while playing it &#8211; all those things that have been smoothed by the many waves of action role-playing games since &#8211; I don&#8217;t mind them. In fact, I love them, because they&#8217;re what revisiting Dark Alliance 2 is all about.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/baldurs-gate-dark-alliance-2-isnt-fun-now-but-thats-not-the-point-1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur&#8217;s Gate: Dark Alliance 2 isn&#8217;t fun now but that&#8217;s not the\u00a0point<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":44479,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[66],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44478"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44478"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44478\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44481,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44478\/revisions\/44481"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
