- Hands Down, This Is The Best RPG Ever
This is the game the transformed me into from a once-in-a-while-gamer into a hardcore gamer.

Why is BG2 so great?
BG2 has the ultimate non-linear story line. You can play it loads of different ways, all with different outcomes, because the decisions that you make will impact how the story line unfolds. This is the only game I ever played where I'd take a break from it and go into the kitchen for something to eat, and spend a long time wondering what decision I should make in the game, and what effect that would have in the game and on my NPC's.

The NPC's are fantastic. There are many to choose from who will join you - up to 6 can join you at a time. In most games, NPC's are merely an extra fighter to help you out. In this game, they talk to you while you are walking along, they argue with you when they don't agree with your decisions, and they even tease and argue with each other. Plus you can have a romance with one of them. So while you are traveling from one part of the game to another, these NPC's entertain you. And with certain decisions you make, some NPC's will leave you. There is no other game out there that has put so much effort into developing all aspects of NPC's. I wish there was. To me, it's what really makes BG2 the greatest RPG ever.

Last, the story line really immerses you and this is the only game that when I finished it the first time, I cried. I was that involved.

- Ultimate Computer RPG... EVER!!!
This is without doubt, the best computer roleplaying game I have ever played - and I've played many over the years, including many since this one. For D&D fans or not, this game has some of the best plot, story, graphics, battles, and variety. The mage battles are the best, with the most amazing powerful spells rocking the scene and terrific sense of gritty realism. The game goes on and on; I played it obsessively for months, and it just gets better and better as your party get more and more powerful, and in turn take on more powerful and sinister opponents! This game is astounding value, when you consider how much enjoyment you get out of it - and especially now that the price is so low! I want Black Isle (the creators) to be successful so they'll write more games like this (maybe even another sequel??), so please support them! They are brilliant at everything from big action battles to the tiniest details and rich isometric backdrops and storylines. BUY THIS NOW!

- A Great Game
This is, without a doubt, a great game. It's improved greatly - the on screen graphics look much better. I don't really like the new "paper doll" figures though. I also don't like the new world map very much...
But, other than that, I like this game. The battle system is still the same, but the new spells are nice. There are plenty of new items to get, to be sure. Among the most notable are the Katana and other "ninja" type swords. You are also in the position to get Sarevok's sword, very early on in the game.
Make sure that you explore every place, not just every place - but every single blackened corner, it's very important that you do this - there are many trinkets that you'll find useful.
If your computer was able to run BG1 without any problems, you'll be able to play this game on it too. But you may want to add more RAM if possible, as the game will run rather slowly on older machines.

- As I Write I Play it Minimized...
There have been a lot of great RPG's lately, especially in the Massively Multiplayer arena. And there have been a lot of great RPG's in the past as well. Baldur's Gate is a great RPG that seems to have fallen right in the middle of the golden age of RPG's however.

Few can deny the ease one can slip into a game of Diablo or Dungeon Siege. Few can argue how fun it is to build a deep character on Everquest or Arcanum. However, few of these games ever appealed to me like BG did. Here is why...

First, Baldur's Gate makes the unusual RPG decision to let the gamer control ALL of the party members, their every move and spell, something I wish was picked up more for other RPGs. This means that while maybe its not very "realistic" the player can really be sure what direction a battle goes. Also, BG lets players pause and give commands at will and does not give the player any trouble with setting up chains of spells or items. This is nice. Finally, BG is very story driven and, not unsurprising, the story is fantastic. You play as the son of a dead god who is swept away by the currents of your destiny. Between Shadows of Ahm and Throne of Bhaal, your avatar will be put through many a grinder and it will amaze you how great it all is.

Some have found BG less fun because of its hardcore D & D roots. Armor is counted by how many dice roll points are removed from each attack i.e. a -13 armor must be attacked by a +3 weapon and a dice roll of...10. It's more complicated than that though. I obviously managed to play the game without really knowing what was going on technically so most others can too. Its surprisingly idiot proof. Also, for those of you out there who like to gather stuff in game, BG is awesome because the magic items not only each have a story but are wonderfully varied rather than being simple level ups or + weapons. It adds a little something.

Problems? Besides replacing crack in most lives as the new addiction, BG has few. There are some persistent bugs that even the newest patches fail to fix and, for all its efforts to the contrary, getting into the game at first can be a hurdle. Graphics are dated by any standard and will not drop any jaws as Dungeon Siege did. Naturally none of this really effects playability but it's worth noting. Lastly, the story is great, no doubt. Some people, however, may not like how it ends.

- Does it get any better than this?
I love this game. i have played thru it over and over, and then throne of bhaal came out and i played it over and over some more. sure, there are a few things i don't like and think are missing, but you are so busy playing you soon are wrapped up again in the this awesome game. if you don't have this game, buy it now or as soon as you can and play it. get throne of bhaal and play it some more.

Tips: download bg2 ease of use mod so item stacking is not a pain. its only aroudn 100kb and very useful.

thats it, get it and play it. i love this game. its awesome to say the least. best crpg i've ever played, and sadly, its most likely the last 2nd editon crpg we'll ever see.
