LOL, how embarrassing. Why would you play that with a controller?

Needed to be NWN 2 as well.

base nwn2 is meh, mask of the betrayer is amazing tho

True, but it is greater with all expansions where you have so many more races to create a character from.

Yeah, it would be horrible with a controller, but they did add keyboard and mouse support to both, so the devs could implement those.

Isn't that why the PS4 and Xbox One has Keyboard and Mouse support?

@Random_Matt: Divinity OS, Pilars of Etternity, Elite Dangerous, The Forest, City Skylines, Diablo 3, and basically every modern port from PC to consoles, play great with a controller.

Why would these be any different?

This is great for console players!! They can enjoy classic rpg games if they want

I prefer Icewind Dale.

@MonsieurX: Why not?

Haha xD.

Sounds cool. I've never played any of these. I still need to play Divinity 1 & 2 tho tbh

Odd they never announced that, it was also remastered. Good game if you just wanna get down to the killing.

Would pick these up on the Switch but you can see a mile away they will be massively overpriced. Better just sticking to the laptop.

@uninspiredcup: It's got a proper story uninspired. You are selling it short.

Wouldn't mind baldurs gate I'm pretty sure I played it on the original Xbox and loved the co-op. I enjoy those loot rpg.

That's awesome. These are such wonderful games. I've been replaying the enhanced edition of Planescape and it's such a wonderful RPG. I could fill my Switch with this stuff

I think I'll pass.

@speedfreak48t5p: not an rpgfreak I take it?

That's a pretty accurate assessment. Lol

The more stuff to play the better!

Hmmm. The idea of using a touch screen for these games in intriguing.

Classic pc rpg it not a genre to be enjoy on a switch with no keyboard near.

You really don't have to put the apostrophe in "RPGs". You're making it possessive. Plurals don't need apostrophes. Sorry, but it's just a pet peeve, like people who type DVD's and CD's.

@jackamomo: Nah, just saying it's not the emphasis of the game.

I don't mind playing the remastered version of my favorite game.

Baldurs gate remastered for control use and I'm in.

@x_karen_x: um, if it weren't for the screen size the Switch is probably the best of them for this purpose. The touch screen >>>> moving a cursor around with an analog stick

@xantufrog:

I talk about one which use keyboard. In different topic I say certain pc game it a miss opportunity for switch. Point and click adventure it seem like a nice fit for switch.

@x_karen_x: definitely! They have Grim Fandango on it, but there are a lot more that should go on there

@xantufrog:

I not on the game loop atm. It something I did not know. Switch on the format is what I think many gamer would prefer to play old pc title, even pc gamer. Old Doom, Wolfenstien, Duke Nukem, and game from era which have title like Interstate 76. Many people not remember when just getting the game controller to work on the pc was like the game of trial and error.

With so many remaster series it make you wonder why no developer not take the bandwagon of this era of pc game. As an example I will mention Star War Dark Force. Please tell me this will not be a hot seller on Switch?
