It was summer. I was stepping out of my house with two crisp twenties in my pocket and my bike at my side. The sun is shining, the birds are singing as I ride down the road to meet my friends, then we go looking around the shops. Wot's this? Do i see a Baldur's Gate 2?!? I had played BG, but had thought the series scrapped! So I buy it, thinking it will pass the time when I'm bored.
Two weeks later...
My darkened room, sounds of battle raging from my PC and there I am, hunched over my computer with my eyes glued to the screen. I am hooked. I am addicted. My cold, dead fingers will have to be forced off of my mouse before I give this game up.
And, after the fifth completion, I step outside again, and for the first time since I switched on my PC I notice the sun. I go down to the shops with my friends, and we look around the shops. And wot do I see? THRONE OF BHALL. I feel a tugging in my hand, and involountarily I reach for the package. Then my legs are moving, on their own, towards the cash register. I pull out some hard earned cash, and then the world goes blank.
Three hours later.
My darkened room. Jan is pretending to Minsc that they have switched bodies in a futile attempt to steal Boo. I laugh silently.
And that was the last BG game in the Saga. Wot do I do now? I have forgotten wot I did before BG2! Why Bioware, WHY?
