Well I just finished the best game in the world today...twice...had to see both endings. The one were you decide to become a God is so sad if your love is Aerie, how could anyone leave her?
This game is simply amazing, I don't think they can top that in a loooong time, maybe with Neverwinter Nights or the Star Wars Game, but they'll have to be very good.

Well, I have to agree with you. The game is amazing! The storyline is one of the best ever seen! I'm looking forward to comparing it with other games, like Neverwinter Nights.

What do you mean with that Byronas? Too small: too short? Or the world is just too small?

Yeah well, that depends of course. If you do everything, you're pretty busy for a while, but I think that the game being short is nothing compared to the entire thing; the graphics, sounds, storyline etc. Also a thing: the NWN (Neverwinter Nights) has a single player game of only (!!) 60 hours. That's far less than BG2

Short? I say it is a tad too long? I had this urging to hurry up toward the end of it... I wanted to toast Melissan...

Well I wouldn't say it was short, it's only an expansion after all, but towards the end it gets a bit linear, after you get into the monastery town... (can't for the life of me remember what it's called) there are hardly any sidequests that I could find.
I'm actually thinking of starting it all over again... right from SOA that is, I don't have a copy of BG1 at the moment
