In other words, they wanted to make a product that fit the interests of modern gamers, and what a big portion of those want these days is multiplayer. When asked why the change in direction, Jeff replied that they wanted a larger focus on multiplayer and that they didn’t want to do something that was just a copy/paste of the older titles, because so much time had gone by since the original games were published. However, I’m not sure how many people that will play this title have actually played the old Dark Alliance games, not only because they are nearly two decades old, but also because they are not playable on modern consoles nor PC. War in the North was certainly not a bad game by any means, but it is also not Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, and I think fans of the original games are going to initially be disappointed when they realize this. Instead, Dark Alliance focuses on a multiplayer experience that reminds me a lot of Lord of the Rings: War in the North, with a loot system that is akin to the Destiny franchise.
What made Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance so good was that you didn’t need to know anything about D&D in order to play, it still had a very D&Dish vibe to it in terms of setting and mechanics, it had tons of loot and character customization, and you could play couch co-op with a friend or loved one if you wanted.Īnd while Dark Alliance is the next installment in this franchise, though not a direct sequel, it doesn’t play anything like the original titles.
