When PC role-playing classic Baldur’s Gate was released in 1998, I was writing for a small gaming news site called Videogamers.com. BioWare’s masterpiece was my first official PC game review.

Classic Western role-playing games are hard to find these days. The most successful ones are chimeras, like Mass Effect 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, games that graft a role-playing game’s quests and statistics onto shooting or action-based mechanics.
