    I think its addictive....prolly because of all the differant subquests(i know i missed some in BG!)and because of all the roleplaying involved in BG2 its just not hack and slash....one game you could be involved with aerie the next jharia(sorry for sp)the next vironica(again im not good with names).One game you could kill that big ole dragon the next you could make a deal.You can slaughter a town or save them from death theres so many differant ways to do a differant situation its....fun.

    Mwoah...

    I usually play the game till about 5.30am.
    It ruined my college.
    It ruined my social life.
    It's eating my brains.
    It's devestating my body.
    It ruined my life.

    But I don't want to loose this game. I would give up anything for it, if there would be anything left...

    I USED to be addicted to BG2. Now I have weaned myself off any IE games. All I have now is Sorcerers Place. Heh. Maybe that's not such a bad thing..

    I've been playing a druid lately. A friend got me out to go hiking in the woods, and I started wishing I could morph into a bear or something.

    Addicting? Nah! Except when you can't tell the difference between the game and "real" life, it's a little confusing. But I can stop whenever I want ... really ...

    I think I have the same problem as bp.

    Everywhere I come I want to cast a spell or want to do any action only possible in BG2.

    Everybody I meet is transformed in some BG2-character....(my sister is a Priest of Lathander, married to a dwarven berserker etc)

    I even got a slap on my face once because I couldn't start a normal conversation, but always had to tell what I managed to do in BG2.

    Aaaaargh!

    I reinstalled the game for the 3rd time... I did like 5 solos, two good parties, two evil parties... I explored the entire damn game. I read so much my head is going to explode.

    Nah, it isnt addictive, its a way of life =)

    [​IMG] What a conicidence the god! I had to give the play cd to a friend of mine to keep till after the exams. I told her that she's not to give it back no matter how much I plead :cry:, beg :wail:, threaten :mad:, cajole :1eye: or offer :money:.

    Now, letseee if the exam finishes at five, I can get the disk at 17:01, get a cab at approx 17:05 and be home in 20 minutes. Than 2 more minutes for the computer to load up and lets say 2 more for the game... Lets give it one more minute overall for unforseen obstacles. Yep, cool I can start playing it again half an hour after the exams... :hahaerr:
