Graphics look poor now, especially in BaK, but they are very deep, detailed, story rich, with awesome skill system and character building, spell crafting, and in huge worlds.

I managed to have my entire party clad in the second best armor and wielding the third best weapons (all blessed with the strongest bless type) before the end of chapter 1.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Do whatever is best for your own preferred gameplay experience here, cause it is still worth embracing the campy proto-roto-scoped 2d characters, the surprisingly complex MIDI soundtrack, and shockingly solid gameplay mechanics of Betrayal at Krondor.
