[Battle Brother Rob]

I have to prefer BG1 because it is so much more of a challenge. The lack of EXP chances compared to BG2, where you get EXP from scroll writing and thieving, makes it harder to progress to power so the start of the game is a fun challenge where even a wolf is a problem.
Stratagy is required over runnning in and hitting things and the lack of flashy spells makes the game alot simpler, cos you dont have to keep checking up on what does what. Also its mostly outdoors in the wilds and there are loads of different locations. Number 2 was too restricted for my liking.
