I think the idea was for Firkraag to be the hardest fight in the game... because in his 'Talking' he is quite proud of how much more powerful he is than both u and Irenicus.... but I beat him with only 20HP lost from my Barbarian in chap. 2!!! and had I been fighting Irenicus he would have slaughtered me.... So i find it strange..
Sometimes Firkraag is by far the hardest fight but on occasions he casts hardly ne of his good spells and just jams with u right into melee... weird...

Another hard opponent was Nizid'manti.. musch the same as Firkraag... when it casts the insect spells and gets u caught in the plant growth it is 1 of the hardest fights in BG2.... but when it doesnt cast the insect plauge and poisin attacks it is quite easy [img]tongue.gif[/img]

In short (and I mentioned this in a post comparing this to IWD and P:T), Chapter 2 was so bothersome that it led me to catch a case of chronic restarter. It's too boring and detracting from the plot to have to deal with all these side quests unrelated to the plot (like Nalia's keep), but you have to go through this to get the money for Gaylen Bayle. That one thing alone was enough to ruin the game for me. It makes no sense. My best friend gets imprisoned so I'm going to go out and help a bunch of other people and get some cash on the side to help get her back? Nuh-uh. I though Chapter 2 was a sloppy way to get other NPCs and beef up the characters. One of these days, I'll have the patience to get through in and on with the rest of the game before getting sick of it and putting it aside for IWD or the Fallout Series.

I agree that this is a great game with alot more options than BG1 but that said, BG1 did have a better storyline.
The whole series will have to go down as the best of all time IMHO.

Doing all the side quests is funny and makes the story better. If you couldn't be bothered to do them then just do the "sell and steal trick" (15.000 in no time).

Ya its pretty damn good.

This is the best game I've ever played, it's fantastic. Great story, graphics, gameplay and sound. So addictive too. I've replayed it with every class [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The best RPG the world has ever known! Seriously though a vast improvement over BG1, the vastly expanded role of magic through the game really adds strategy and depth over BG1.

Great game! I love it, I'm completely addicted! [img]smile.gif[/img]
One thing I REALLY miss over BG1 is... the wildernesses. In BG1 you had to journey through small patches of woods to get somewhere... it wasn't really boring because of all the strange encounters! Like the little boy "Albert" and his dog "Rufie"... I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair. I really miss that

But apart from small things, the game is excellent. Storyline is cool, good interaction with NPCs, nice surroundings (drow city, coool), good choice in characters (shall I play a priest, a mage, an archer, a kensai, a monk, a cavalier, a barbarian, a swashbuckler, a stalker, an assassin, a...)

Best game I have ever played, though (and I am really asking for critisism here) it is a little repetative when you have played it more than 10 times. I haven't completed it 10 times, only once, but nearly twice! Good story line, and the Irenicus stuff is good cuz it gives variety to the game and shows you how you can effect the rest of the world, instead of fighting for supremacy for the Throne of Bhaal. Better interface than BG and the resolution options was a good idea. If they had that for BG than I would actually get around to completing it. But you seem to level up more frequently in BG2 than in BG, which is good. And you finally get around to casting some pretty mean rs spells!

Overall

And another point is that we are on this specific forum for a reason, because we all like BG2. If we didn't then no one would have replied to this post. Would we, eh? Eh?!?
