I agree, best games ever...I can't understand people glorifying morrowind or final fantasy..both are highly inferior to these games, not just in story but in stupid gameplay(morrowing-waving with your sword like playing quake with an axe, and final fantasy boring 1000 same fights). These games are so simple, but have so good and complex story, easy to learn gameplay and great characters...I never get bored of infinity engine games.

The books are fucking terrible. Not anything like the games at all. Minsc does not have red hair, damnit!

@Thunderer7

Everyone's entitled to his own opinions.If I like final fantasy, or If I like The Elder Scrolls, does that make me a "Bad Person"? Does it make me "Stupid"?

[brized]

@TheIlluminatus503 That's the thing though...Irenicus had no malice for the Bhallspawn and his/her crew, even as he tortured them. He was as empty inside as his gaze at 2:40 in the video. Though his emotionless, methodical approach might make it even more disturbing to witness in detail.

@Thunderer7 both are inferior... in your opinion? Oh right then. You know, there's this thing about personal subjective opinions...

[Nimuial]

Definitely agree with those lauding the infinity engine games... this and Planescape: Torment solidified my long-standing casual interest in video games, and I've never had quite the same engaging play experience since. (Not that there aren't great games, just not ones I've connected as fully with as some in that era).

I wish i could have a selective amnesia that would allow me to start this game fresh without remembering all the 20,000 playthroughs i did in it.

This, and Planescape: Torment are forever my favorite RPGs, they just don't make them like this anymore...

[tstruss912]

This game doesn't fuck around. One of the best I've played, for sure.

[geo58impala]

I've been playing this so long that I can quote this entire thing!

[TheIlluminatus503]

It's times like this that I wish BGII was more like Oblivion, with the 1st person POV, so you could take in greater detail the true malice of Irenicus and the torture chamber.

Till this day I remember this game very well. It wasn't the combat, nor the story that made this game special. I don't even remember most of the quests.

What I do remember are the characters. Imoen's laughter. The hesitation in Aerie's words as she spoke of her past. Jaheira's screams as she discovered Khalids body. The stories Jan used to tell, and the amazing way the story of Keldorn ends.

It's the characters that made this game great. It was always about the characters.
