    RPGDot's Dhruin has posted an article about "The Six P's of Gaming" by Mike 'txa1265' Anderson from GamerDad, looking into what, according to the original author, are the six most important aspects of a good game. He mentions our ever beloved Baldur's Gate a couple of times. Here's a snip:

    1: Plot – we’re not talking about a need for every game to have some high-concept epic story like ‘Baldur’s Gate 2’, just some basic reason you should be playing the game. The Plot should be proportional with the scope of the game. Take a game like ‘Rune’, for instance. The basis of the story is pretty simple - the runes that protect the world are being taken by the Bad Guy, who has also taken people from your village. A large battle cutscene shows everything you care about being destroyed. The remainder of the game is you working back through conquered lands to your home and the final battle. The plot is simple and direct, but enough to keep you playing through to the end, and wanting to do the right things.

    Read the whole thing at RPGDot.
