Got it in 2001; still playing it. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'd say that was a good investment. :D

Got BGII after it got out, still playing it! Just got ToB so I fear I'll be stuck here for at least another year.

have it nearly a year. i restarted too many times so the part before the underdark is quite boring and i play it not as much anymore. i just started a solo sorcerer though. that's fun

<font color="gold">Got it in July 2001, IIRC, and I'm still playing it. [img]smile.gif[/img] Not as often as I used to, though.</font>

I bought BG2 Collector's edition in January (this year, 2002), so I've played it about 11 months.

Got it last Christmas and I'm still playing it and probably will for quite some time.

I actually had BG2 _BEFORE_ its release (got prerelease CDRs for review in a magazine) and have been either playing it or modding it (or, uh, thinking about modding it) ever since.

<font color="deepskyblue">I got BGI and BGII last August. I played a fighter (because I couldn't have a barbarian) in BGI and turned him into a Wizard Slayer in BGII.

I've currently started a second BGII game with an assassin that I will dual to a mage. This time, I plan to run an entirely evil party (Korgan, Viconia, Edwin, etc).

I have also started a second BGI game with a half-elven ranger. I will Import him into BGII and run the "Nobody Loves Us" party (Mazzy, Har'Daelis, Jan, Aerie, Cernd).

So, the answer is that BGII has lasted me well over a year (although I did quit playing for a couple of months) and I don't expect to grow bored with it any time soon.</font>

i got it spring 2001. ive played it over and over again, and still havent gotten bored! i did quit for a few months though, when i played through BG1 and Icewind Dale. after that i played it until morrowind hit my eye, played it through as much as you can, switched it to IWD 2, played through that and now im playing it again with a priest of helm, Viconia and Edwin. i suspect ill switch to bg1 again play through the entire series.

I'd say I have had it for well over 1 year, but I had a huge break for about 6 months. The thing is, I have never completed it! Not once. I was nearly there, but then I had to wipe my PC (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGH!!). I still love it though, and will for quite a while.

PS: It's been better since I found Ironworks!

The first day it came out in Australia... cant remmember the exact day but i think like 2 yrs ... and played until NeverWinter Nights came out... which is like 3 or 4 months ago i think...

GokuZool 12-26-2002 03:40 AM

I bought BG2 years ago and I still haven't finished it. The problem is when I get a new game I play that instead of finishing BG2. I install it every now and then and progress slowly ;)

NiceWorg 12-26-2002 10:52 AM

Last october, just three months ago. I´m still in chapter 2, too much school and work to really play.

Summer 2001 till today.

Started with BGI and went through with a bard to end of TOB.

Then started a Stormlord, played till I screwed up game with CLUA console (Made Arkanis Gath a member of my party and slaughtered every member of the Shadow Thieves - then Aran would pop up in random places around Athkatla and try to start me on the Aran quest - but his state would never change - terrible bug -gave up on the Stormlord).

Then a paladin.

Then started soloing a necromancer - he is now level 24 and in the underdark - will finish this one.

Got a new comp and networked with old comp - had a friend over and played two player BGII with me playing a wild mage and him playing a monk - quite a lot of fun. I toss a fireball at the enemy, rush in with stoneskin up, trigger sunfire, and then hide in the corner while he beats the remains to a pulp with his fists. We just took the planar sphere after doing Nalia's keep and the Shadow Temple. It was tough going for a while - took twenty tries to get Tolgerias out of the way.

Been slowly teaching myself modding skills. Will have a mod ready in a few months - couple of new NPCs and quests.

All in all, the most entertaining $50 or so dollars I ever spent.

Ok, maybe $70 bucks for BGI/TOTSC and BGII.

Hope it never gets old - wish NWN was more like BGII.

Mahlennacht 12-27-2002 05:14 AM

IIRC I started in Feb (?) 2001. Still love it [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] , while the other RPGs I've tried collect dust
