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.

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.

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.
