Black Isle are evolving the Infinity engine all the time, BG 1 had its flaws but it was just a starting point so forgive them. Planescape evolved it further and now we have BG2 which has progressed it again. For originality of plot I still think Planescape wins out but not by much. BG2 has more akin with Planescape than BG1 gameplay wise. Its more linear than BG1 and doesnt have the sprawling wilderness. It does have far more depth though especially as far as NPC depth goes and it also features numerous interesting but non essential side quests. My over all feelings on the game? Its a must have. Period. Its not a game, its a way of life!
