Appreciation for the Screenshot feature

SharGuidesMyHand

I've come to believe that one of the very best (and perhaps underappreciated) "enhancements" of the EEs is the ability to take screenshots during gameplay.

Like a lot of people here, I had initially used this feature to highlight uniquely funny and/or unusual events that happened in my playthroughs, or as a means to better illustrate bugs. However, I now use this feature to keep a virtual "scrapbook" of my adventures. Previously, once I had completed a BG playthrough, I was left with only faded memories of my adventure, and I could only quench my desire to relive it by starting a new one. Now, I can better appreciate my individual adventures by browsing through my "scrapbook" and reminiscing to myself about my experience. I've taken over a thousand screenshots related to just a single playthrough!

I also love whenever I chunk an enemy, to repeatedly tap the "Print screen" button to create multiple screenshots as the pieces fly. Then I scroll through the shots - it's like watching a slow-motion replay of the chunking!

Anyone else here share the same unhealthy obsession with the screenshot feature that I do?

You can take screenshots via Print Screen in the original games too. They show up in a ScrnShot folder located in the same directory as the game executables.
