well as a fan of the AD&D forgotten realm games, i've had a chance to view the many aspects of what separates a mediocre game from an excellent game. Baldur's Gate and Baldur's gate 2 are both excellent games, and what i enjoyed most about them was their freedom. In the many areas of the game, there were countless quests (as well as class related quests) that ran outside of the main plot, this made the games enjoyable to play even after you've beaten it once. But as i go through icewind dale 2, i see the same repetitiveness as in icewind dale. you go from area to area, killing monsters and unwravelling a fairly straight forward plot without any outside quests and interesting characters. So far, this game has been quite a disapointment.
If there are any other things u feel icewind dale 2 is lacking, please share your opinion. And feel free to disagree with me as well.
cheers
