I agree it would be cool if they filled it all in, but it is kind of cool that they are just tieing things together...it gives the feeling that it is really a world, rather than a place where each enemy only has one fiendish plan, and nothing other than the main story ever connects...another great example is something that I just thought was mysterious, that a couple of items you can buy from the special merchant have it in their descriptions that they were "worn by x until he was killed in the service of an entity known as "The Nameless One" or some such, and they mention The Nameless One in several item descriptions..."given to him by an entity known as "The Nameless One" Stuff like that. Well I told my friend about it who was still on BG1, saying it was weird, and he had played Planescape:Torment, and apparently YOU are The Nameless One in Torment. I thought this was really cool! They make the games cross over, so it feels, as I said, more like a real world with a, consistant history and where events are constantly unfolding. Well, thats how I feel anyway, call me weird
