Thanks for adding your thoughts! In general, I have noticed that people do not care for IWD2 as much as other Infinity engine games (notably BG2). I don't know yet because I have not started it, I'm still playing BG2 (and playing-time is at a premium for me.) Personally, I liked IWD better than BG1 and I certainly will play IWD2, even if it is not as good as BG2 as popular opinion seems to hold. Since I have never been swayed much by critiques, I am sure that I will give it a try.

I am sad to hear about the demise of the Infinity engine. Does anyone know if they are planning to stick with only the new Aurora engine, or are they planning on developing a new system to replace IE for another BG/IWD/PS type game? I can't believe they would think that all of their BG players would move to NWN, especially with how well BG seems to have sold.
