Question Mark

I guess it depends on what kind of gaming experience you're after.

I found BG2 very annoying in that it had so many inexcusable plotholes (Bodhi only appearing at nighttime) and its linearity as compared to BG, was also disappointing. I'd also argue to the contrary that its NOT bigger than the original, since BG was so open with its possibilities. Although, I wouldn't know with the throne of baal - I don't have an ego big enough to try it.
Power gaming madness! Well..maybe one day! Perhaps I'll try BG2 again at some point to see if its as annoying as I remember it, this time with different NPC's so I don't get too attached to them if they turn out to be traitors (why oh Yoshimo, why??)

Ahhh, the infinity engine is just so irrepressible, they're so hard to resist! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Otherwise, I have to reccomend Ultima VII for a thoroughly enjoyable role playing experience. But if its more hackity slash slash you're after, just stick to your diablos or diablo clones, or somesuch shallow trash. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Going through the Towers at Severed Hand at the moment...progress has been slow, but utterly enjoyable!
