I played Rogue Trader the past few weeks. Great game and a fine addition to CRPGs. It did have glaring problems with the engine, quest triggering (such as missing swathes of quests because of out of sequence failures), combat breaking, and numerous other problems. Something kind of common with Owlcat games but I digress. Still a great game and I recommend everyone play it if you like CRPG and especially if you like 40k.
Now, I recently fired up BG1 to play through 1 and 2 again and dick around with editing mods. It stuns me how clean the gameplay is. Despite being 30 years old it consumes less than literally any phone app you can imagine, even one from 15 years ago. It does this and calculates Advanced DND Ruleset (the most autistic one) in real time with zero latency or lagging issues.
Game enshittification has really become this bad? BG1 and BG2 more importantly have no issues with quest triggering and handle all of them throughout the entire game with some degree of elegance. BG2 famously had game AI so good they had to castrate it for release. As with mods you can have enemies rapidly using the whole slew of Contingency and Spell Triggers to make fights really insane and dynamic. All done in real time with pause gameplay.
