Last Week's Poll's Results
Posted Saturday, November 30, 2002 - 12:16 CEST by Sorcerer
What we asked:
Q: Which of the (A)D&D games covered on Sorcerer's Place was the first that you played?
(538 votes total)
Baldur's Gate (380) 71%
Baldur's Gate 2 (94) 18%
Planescape: Torment (24) 4%
Icewind Dale (18) 3%
Neverwinter Nights (11) 2%
Icewind Dale 2 (8) 1%
Pool of Radiance: RoMD (3) 1%
Well, well... The poll results indicate that the majority of the people who voted in our poll (71%) have been fans of the (A)D&D games for quite a few years, since the release of the original Baldur's Gate near the end of 1998.
The second large group of fans (18%) started with Baldur's Gate 2, so combined, the Baldur's Gate saga spawned almost 90% of the current fan base of D&D CRPGs... Very interesting.
Planescape: Torment was the first AD&D game for 4% of people, with the original Icewind Dale following closely with 3%.
The last (and newest) three games were (combined), the starting point for only 4% of poll participants.

| Probably... Add (If not earlier.) to the end of the first paragraph. ;)
But the focus here was on modern D&D games which started with BG. Still, I'll add it on the actual poll page. Good call. |

| Had you gone further back in time and not limited your poll to only games covered here, the results might have been different.
Neverwinter Nights got me back into D&D games after having played the old gold box Pools games. |
