I had quit playing baldurs gate after finishing it a few years ago. I then started Tales of the Sword Coast until I started playing EQ full time. I had seen BG2 come out, but never gave it a shot. After seeing all the hype for BG2: the Throne of Bhaal; I had to give it a shot and started playing it again. I goofed around with BG2: the Shadows of Amn for about an hour one night and found the new additions to BG very appealing. The aspect I love the most about the game is finally I will be able to play my characters all the way to lvl 40. I replayed BG1 the past 2 weeks looking long term at what I want my characters to finish with. I play 3 PC and 3 NPCs in BG1. I will be able to make my Main characters a 9 fighter / 11 thief / 30 mage; a 11 ranger / 39 cleric and a lvl 40 cleric.
Before you get serious into playing BG2, envision what combo you would like to have later in the game. For now I'm saving BG2 for when I go on vacation in 2 weeks to visit my cousin and friend. We are going to play D&D like the old days.
My opinion of BG2 for the hour I was playing around with it seemed to be a big winner. We might be looking for another player or two to join us from the beginning of BG2 (no hacked characters) from July 16-27. Monks, bards (kits), and the rogue (kits) look to be a nice new touch to the game.
