Let see which game will win.
This is stupid. It's like asking if you like the song "Call Me Maybe. " Everyone is going to say they hate it and it is shit but rock out to it and sing every word in their car. Below the codex.

I'm getting a real warm fuzzy for how crucified BG is.

Just shows how few people on here know what the word overrated means. For something to be overrated, people have to give it a lot of hype or credit. Baldur's Gate 2 is where all the hype and credit is at, no one is saying that Baldur's Gate is gods gift to gamers. People just use the word 'Baldur's Gate' to describe the entire series, but what most people really mean when they say that Baldur's Gate is awesome, is that Baldur's Gate 2(!) is awesome. Just by making a quick search on google you'll find that most people adore Baldur's Gate 2, and when a new person ask which game to start with, many people will tell him/her to jump over Baldur's Gate and start with Baldur's Gate 2 instead. BG:EE did help a little bit here as it improved the graphic and gameplay of Baldur's Gate without needing to spend an hour modding your game, but it still doesn't bring Baldur's Gate up to the same amount of hype that Baldur's Gate 2 has.

Just by looking at the votes thrown at Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2, you'll clearly see that people don't know what they are talking about.

BGI is not overrated, it may be a bit underrated to be sure, as it has a lot of sweet spots among all the mediocre or boring crap.

It's a concept almost as nebulous as art. The reason why though is that video rpgs have yet to overcome the technical limitations of computer-based roleplaying games, so rpgs are really a bastard genre, and probably the most ambitious genre in all of video games. The concept of the decline is that The Man would rather hang up on memetic story tropes and monetized/player conditioning mechanics rather than develop truly advanced and innovative rpgs with all of their power and resources. The codex is like a cult sitting around and waiting for our spaceship to come and take us to the next level. It's kinda sad, really.

If someone were to make Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord today, I would not consider it to be an RPG.
