Well, that was disappointing.....

Tilien · 10-29-2001, 06:28 AM

I finally went and did it. For the first time, I actually played the game through from start to finish (I'm a chronic restarter), including ToB.

What can I say? I'm disappointed

Don't get me wrong, BGII is still an amazing game in my estimation, but I just found the ending a let down. ToB was painfully easy. I think I died all of once while playing it. The big fights were pushovers, the final fight was too easy and, (*sigh*) I didn't even get off with Jahiera - at least I don't think I did

Going to try it again, with perhaps a smaller party and higher difficulty level. Maybe that'll make it better - although I'm dreading doing the start yet again, lol. Irenicus' dungeon and the early quests get really boring after the 15th time

Might be time to sift through my old game collection. Dust off Daggerfall perhaps.....

I agree. Lots of game endings on a whole tend to be huge let-downs. I've seen very few which are actually pretty satisfying (Fallout Series, including Tactics, Icewind Dale, Final Fantasy series)..

And Irenicus' Dungeon is such a drag

If there were'nt so many useful items in it, I'd just use a cheat to warp to Athkatla..
Which character class did you play? Try playing a Thief if you havent tried. BG2 has lots of options for that character class, and the thieves in the game dont do justice to the power and abilities that thieves have access to..

The worst ending in ANY game is definetly the one in BG1!!
I hate it...spent like a year trying to kill that bastard Sarevok and then it just ends...just like that..I hate it!!

I mean youcouldn't even pick up his armor or something...
damn this gets me wound up!

I saw the movie, but I didn't think the action scenes were THAT good.

But in BGate 2 you do get his sword. It's a crap sword but its kinda cool havin it.

I thought the ending to BG2 was a bit naff all round really. The whole plot of the game seems to rely on Irenicus runs, you chase, you fight, he runs, you chase, you fight, etc. I haven't got ToB so I don't know about that. Don't get me wrong - the game is still good but the plot as a whole is a let down.

P.S. Where are you from London person? At present I am living in Islington you see.

You can download the Improved Bhaalspawn patch from Balderdash.

Ack...I was hoping we still had a policy on revealing TOB spoilers in the BG2 forum???

I for one haven't started playing TOB yet and I would REALLY appreciate it if the gaming experience wasn't ruined for me by careless spoilers.

Thanks!

I am the same way! I like restarting but hate the Irenicus dungeon and I'm abouyt to get out daggerfall as well.

Tilien · 10-29-2001, 10:01 AM

Melusine, my sincere apologies if you felt that I'd included any spoilers in my post above. I specifically tried to avoid doing so.

Thanks. Well, I haven't played TOB yet so I didn't even know there are other Bhaalspawn involved in it!

If you had posted your post in the TOB forum it would have been much less of a problem: since we have a separate forum for Throne Of Bhaal, you shouldn't post any information about the expansion in this forum.

Still, thanks for the friendly apology...it's good to see there are still civil people around here!

EDIT: and thanks for the edits!! It's perfect now
