I have not played DND PNP - i have played other roleplaying games though. At then end of the day they all come down to same thing.
I love Baldur's Gate series - it is so immersive, good plot, good twists, good characters. How many other games have this movie feel to it, I can't think of one, While i would have liked some randomness placed in the gaming engine, the sheer size of the game and character options has made it replayable many times over, I keep discovering new quests/plots.
I find the game system over all does a great job of keeping the math/dice aspect hidden, thus not overwhelming new players, this always dragged on for far too long ith PNP
The bad
Ok the dungeon atthe beginning, its boring but also its a good introduction to the game for new players, its very indicative of the rest of the game.
No running, I find myself casting haste just to get back to the beginning of certain areas or exits, cause I hate waiting for the characters to catch up
Domination/mind control is the most frustrating aspects of the game and I find used far too ofton (this is a personal thing), give me a good fight but fight fair.
load times a bit much, wish i could turn auto save off tro save time.
That's about it, I love this game, I keep playing and with experience it keep getting better. I have hooked 3 other people in the office on it already nd working on the 4th
I look forward to any other bioware releases
