There is a lot to recommend in IWD2, especially the 3rd edition rule set. It adds a surprising amount of depth to the characters and several of the scripts / dialogues were designed with just that in mind. [img]smile.gif[/img]

There ARE some down sides to the game. The ending is a little anti-climactic - it's plausible, and well thought out, BUT it leaves one feeling a little cheated. Also, there are three sequences in the game that will probably try your patience .... although they are nicely designed, after the first few levels you are going to be asking yourself "Is this EVER going to end?" For those of you reading this who have the game, those areas are the maze, squares and monks challenges - that shuoldn't be enough information to spoil anything for you Epona, but enough so others can add there own two cents on those areas and still be cryptic about it if necessary.

Despite those negatives, this is a good game. So, if you liked IWD/HOW/TOLM - this is definite buy. You won't be dissapointed. [img]smile.gif[/img]
