Originally posted by Desdicado: Guys, How do you think IWD2 compares to the other offerings, ie BG, BG2, IWD etc. I have to say it hasn't "grabbed" me like they did. I've played BG and BG2 3 times, IWD twice or three times. I can't even motivate myself to finish IWD 2. Actually, I didn't finish Planescape Torment as I wasn't struck on it either. I'm in chapter 6, in the hand, up to the "fingers" and have had enough. I have enjoyed playing it, but it's been too linear, not enough side quests like in BG1 and 2. I'm also not sure about the 3rd edition rules. Maybe it's my age, everything was better back in '95, longer summers, you could leave your door unlocked blaah blaah. Sorry folks, what do you lot think?.

Your post pretty much echoes my feelings, although I do like the 3rd edition implementation. Reminds me of Black Isle's Fallout series.

The BG engine retires on a sad note.
