Its a good game.. but it really isnt anywhere near as good or as open as Shadows of Amn. I havent beat the game yet, but it isnt as amusing so to say as Baldurs Gate. Certainly the graphics arent a comparrison either. Though, its an RPG, graphics shouldnt matter that much. It isnt amazing, but i guess its worth the $40 i paid for it..

 

I really like ICWDII but everybody says that Baldrus Gate II is the best of the best, I have to play that game!!!

 

The first time through IWD2 was fairly entertaining, but the adventure is so linear that the second time around was completely boring. Overall, I would say that I found the two Baldur's Gate games to be much better. Even the original IWD was better. On the other hand, I would say that IWD2 is better then the official campaign for Neverwinter Nights.

 

I can't really ever give a game one single number.

Because I will rate a game very, very high if it has an excellent story. I will also rate it very high if it has excellent gameplay.

But I will not give a game a 2 or 3 if it has just one, and not the other. That just gives me (and I think, everyone else) a bad impression.

I'd rate the story a 4. And the gameplay a 7 or 8. You cannot average those, because different people look at different things.

It's worth playing one time, and worth playing several times if you're planning on a multi-player experience with your friends.

 

I like it. Not as much as IWD1, but if the Icewindgate project allows IWD1 in IWD2 then perhaps it will mean that I play that more than BG2 and TOB!

 

I voted 6.

 

I gave it a 7...
It's lack of roleplay pushed it down a little...

Power gaming can be fun too though...

 

I give a 7 too...great game system, spells,races,and clases(d&d 3ed rules) but the history can be better,because is too lineal.

 

Thanks for giveing your opinions everyone. Now I hate you all for spoiling it.


Just Kidding

 

Suprisingly it got fairly good ratings though.. Hope you enjoy it more than some of us

Averages for about a 7...

Has everyone who voted played IWD(+HoW) and BG(+BGII)??

 

I know I have...

 

So did anyone actually find better or as good as BGII or IWD?

 

iwd2 is better than bg series combine....bg is sooo boring...so please don't compare iwd2 to bg games....

 

Please explain your reasoning...

 

Granted, IWD is very good I think. But Baldur's Gate is far from boring!

 

First time through the game: 7 out of 10.

Subsequent times: 3 out of 10 because it's the exact same game every time and nothing changes.

 

Yes, that is why i found Baldur's Gate II to have a lot more playability, you can do a lot more and choose different paths almost everytime you play it.

 

bg2 is boring because
bg2 is a trying hard rpg want to copy japanese rpg plot(story) with d&d rules...
bg2 is for only d&d freaks..no versatility for non-d&d players...
you start with level 10-11(im not sure in nos,)so new bg players are not welcome..where are the level molding experience here...
it so long and boring...boring and boring...

 

A - i have no knowledge about d&d whatsoever prior to BG2, it is BG2 that gets me involve.
B - i started playin BG2, realized how good the game is, then go back to play BG1 and expansion, and play the whole thing over again.
C - i don't look at BG2 as an individual game. The whole Bg, BG1 & exp, BG2 and exp is all together one long game.
D - long and boring? it is a subjective view, so i wouldn't comment on that.
C - Copying Japanese plots? Could you elaborate that?
