It's not just age either. Plenty of games still hold up, but that's just because the gameplay is superior in them.

Baldur's Gate on the other hand...no. There's something unique in Dungeons and Dragons, however, where people who were into the game when AD&D was the main edition or even earlier, can't seem to remove their goggles. There's this guy called Spoony who is a massive raging cock and calls people pussies and says that people want things spoon fed to them these days. To try and sound like a badass he explains how you got 1 set of rolls for your character and you stuck with them no matter what. This pretty much always makes for shitty characters. You could want a really good mage. Oops, you couldn't even roll a 10. Fighter? Your strength is alright but your endurance might as well be your dump stat with how low it is. That's just poor design and if that ducker was my DM, I'd drop out because that would be unusually boring.

Go ahead and like Baldur's Gate. It's still shit, though. So is Neverwinter. Hopefully, Wizards will just make a fully functioning tabletop simulator like roll20, but more intuitive and with all the materials you could need from boring ass core stuff to were-toilets.
