Here we go again.

Pretty much exactly 25 years ago, Baldur's Gate was my first encounter with RPGs and my introduction to fantasy beyond fairy tales. It's second only to watching Star Wars in how much it defined my interests and creative life.

Getting into #crpg #gamedev now, it seems a great time to replay this one again and study its gameplay and visual design to take cues for my own game.
