    What are your favorite & least favorite things about ToB.............


    Mine are: Story - Amellysan :)
    And: ummm... Voice Acting for Some Characters is pretty bad(Sendai), but I'd have to say is the quick speed of Saradush; I loved the feel of that part of the game.

    Favorite- Finally finishing the BG saga.

    Least Favorite- Beating the crap out of Balthazaar the first run-through. His AI was terrible; all he did was run around like a headless chicken while I beat him to death. It was pretty disappointing, really, so ooh rah for mods.

    When I played Balthazar didn't even get to run around; just a few Dragon Breaths & Horrid Wiltings and he was done for :p

    Least favorite: the somewhat predictable storyline. It took me 2 minutes to figure who the big bad guy was and I'm not that smart.

    Favorite thing: taking Sarevok along. How cool was that?

    Favourite: Cespenar and the idea of a Pocket Plane. ^^

    Least Favourite: It takes forever to decide who I should kick out when I pick up Sarevok.

    Favourites has to be Watchers Keep (what a truly amazing dungeon) as well as the ability to pick up ye ol' Sarevok.

    Least favourite...hm... Probably the overall feeling of power gaming and no role playing throughout ToB. It's just fighting all the way in my experience.

    Favourite: I have to say watchers keep. Except the wild and dead-magic zones when I played through with a solo sorcerer.

    Least Favourite: Draconis. It should be illegal to cast invisibility that quickly.

    fav: the atmosphere and locations in ToB

    least fav: the fact that by the time you get to ToB, nothing is remotely challenging.

    Favorite: Sarevok especially when you turn him good.

    Least Favorite: The immense power you have, the ease of the "epic battles", how short TOB seems, how it turns into a hack n' slash game.

    Favourite stuff: Sarevok joins you, and the super upgradeable weapons, such as the ravager.... or clangeddins rune hammer, and of course becoming the lord of murder was pretty hot too.

    Least favourite thing: having to kill that delightful dragon in watchers keep to complete the staff of the ram (at least i think it was the staff of the ram)

    Favourite - SoA, especially the underdark bits (not a fan of mindflayers though). Also fighting dragons is fun, and Watchers Keep, and the upgradeable weapons in ToB.

    Least Favourite - ToB itself, its length, its challenge, the fact that you only get the ingredients for the super upgradeable weapons right near the end. And - being level drained! why is it permanent, and why does the priest spell negative plane protection have such a pathetically short duration compared to Chaotic Commands?

    FAVOURITE: Becoming the lord of murder, and WK

    LEAST FAVOURITE: Melissan, I hated how this good story came to be this way. It would be quite nice to battle Bhaal himself over the essance pool. And why Solar waits for that long to come, and the whoel point of solar ending the battle. Who the hell is Solar to end the battle. Also at the Throne of Bhaal (the area). The essances are just flowing there. Melissan can jump into them, then why the main character (as if his intelligance is -25) streching his back and looking around rather than claiming them for himself. One could really find a lot of more annoying stuff about the end of the storyline and the final battle.
