Bg2 vs ? - Page 2

Raistlin Majere · 06-24-2003, 07:02 PM

i just have to say this: give bg2 just a few more hours!(or bg1, if you decide to start it first. you could, btw, buy it from ebay for a few bucks)let the MASSIVE storyline start to unfold and i guarentee youll be hooked. the critics arent lying when they say this is the best rpg ever!(though i think its pretty much tied with bg1)i didnt like bg2 at first either(im ashamed to admit it), but it didnt take too long before i found my self sitting from 8 A.M to 4 A.M playing this unbeliavable game

Indeed bg2 is the best rpg ever... I'd be really surprised if you won't like it after giving it a couple of more hours!

I loved BG1!!! BG2 was good too, but not as good as BG1.

If you're into Diablo-esque games, download a demo of Dungeon Siege and see what you think. If your machine's up to spec, it's incredibly pretty with awesome sound and has an absolute shirt-load of magical weapons and spells to waste your enemies with. It's also got a lame plot, bad dialogue, terrible AI and is linear, monotonous, tedius and repetetive. And repetetive. You'll love it.

Thanks for all the input folks...I wound up getting BG1 since everyone is saying what an awsome series this is. (and it has instructions!) So Im gonna start from the beginning and give it at least 10 hours b4 making an uninformed decision! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I have a theory that most people who don't like BGII, or don't like Imoen, didn't play BG. I really think that playing all the way through BG (TotSC optional) should be a prerequisite to playing BGII.

Well, in BG1 Imoen's ubiquitous "Heyya" does kinda get on my nerves.

But, I agree otherwise. BG2 is BETTER, but different. The wondering around in BG1 really has that "new adventurer" feel.

She annoyed Galadria, too, especially the "You're a queer fellow" bit. She was my favorite NPC, though. I got killed by a baselisk, once, trying to rescue her reading a stone-to-flesh scroll. I liked how she was the first NPC you met and how you could leave her and run off, and she would always be waiting. Strangely enough, my second favorite was Viconia. My first words opening up the BGII manual were, "Hey, you get Immy back. And Vickey, too. Wow, she's a lot better looking."
