Resident Redneck Facist
For me personally, BG re-invigorated my love of RPGs. After not liking Ultima 8, there was quite a gap between it and Ultima 9 and the things I was seeing really made me question (ultimately correctly) if I was going to like U9. I'd already flamed out on MMORPGs after beta testing Ultima Online, so there just didn't seem to be much for me that I would like in the RPG space. It seemed the genre had moved on from my tastes.
I picked up BG just really to tide me over until U9 came out. I was in grad school at the time (plus working), so I figured even if it was bad, I didn't have much time to play anyway. Instead, I was sucked in like no game since Ultima V. I found myself coming home from work for lunch (5 minute drive), just to get half an hour or so more of gaming!
