The format of Baldurs gate and the inventory screen adn spells etc. and the way it was layed out was a rip off of the DarkSun games for the pc that ran from MSDOS mode... i forget the title of the game though stil an amazing game im just saying

I really enjoyed both baldurs gate PC games. Neither has teh versitility of NWN, but both were very enjoyable for the time periods that they were released.

This is the Dark Sun inventory screen: http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/original/981671765-00.gif

If you think the Baldur's Gate inventory screen is a rip of that, then it sounds like you haven't played many PC RPGs from the early 90's ;). In particular, I suggest you grab a copy of Eye of the Beholder 1 or 2 (superb games, but the third one is a bit rubbish), since to me the Dark Sun inventory looks to be directly influenced by (or indeed a "rip off" of) the inventory in those games.

Why does it matter if some company takes something that works from another. As long as all the legalities are taken care of there's nothing wrong with it. I would much prefer a good, "ripped-off" interface than a mediocre but original one.

did anyone else play that darksun game?
(btw im saying the inventory screen etc. was similar, obviously the game system [d&d] is going to be the same)

Okay, let's try and keep off the "it's a rip off" comments and try to actually discuss your reasons behind doing so.

The game was fun but a little tough but who cares its not that much of a rip off anyways (its all D&D)

This basicly goes with the series ála "Hey, that race is a rip off from Tolkien's books!" ... so, if you think it's a good GUI, why shouldn't it be used then?
Beirnadri Magranth Posted - 08 Oct 2005 : 13:21:07
i thought it was a good format
Winterfox Posted - 07 Oct 2005 : 19:40:08
It's not even called a "format." It's called a GUI.
TylerXKJ Posted - 07 Oct 2005 : 19:21:04
Who cares? Is it a bad format?
Winterfox Posted - 06 Oct 2005 : 23:11:55
Okay. Tell it to someone who cares.
