Damn this game is awesome! Gotta love being a level 14 mage

So who else is playing? Do you like it? Game of the year you think?

I've been thinking of buying it, but i'm still not sure what it is. I've never played a pure rpg game before, only diablo, etc. What kinda time do I have to put into the game to really enjoy it? I remember someone talking about it took hours just to kill off some boss, using different tatics.

Anyone care to write a quick summary? Sure, i've searched, looked into the game a lot, yet still confused.

My roomate and I are playing it a lot . We are kinda low levelers right now. I am 10th level ranger/beastmaster and he is a lever 9 or 10 mage/somthing.

basically, a pack of 6 guys/gals cruise around a world (amn in this case) and rip the crap out of anything they wish There's something like 10+ classes, and it's heaps long, ive never finished bg1 let alone this beast...

if you're really into gameplay and loads of it, go get it - you wont regret it

I got it and the first one plus the expansion but I'm playing Icewind Dale at the moment.

how much bigger is it than bg1? It took me about 20 hours to finish Bg1.

 

[FrogDog]

20 hours?! wtf!!
Well, if you finished BG1 in 20 hours, it might take you about 40 to finish BG2...I think it's about two times as big...but I somehow doubt you'll do it in 40 hours

 

[Weyoun]

you're right, 20 hours is a very short time to finish a game of that size. you would have to be cheating, either that or u just kick serious ass

the map in bg2 has something like twice the density of the one in bg1, and i thought that one was huge....

 

[FrogDog]

and it's not even that though. There is just so much more to do. Every single one of the maps has a quest. And they're all HUGE quests that take like an hour or more to do. It's really quite big
