To each his own. I've noticed this board seems to favour BG over BG2. Personally, I think BG2 strikes the perfect balance between a strong story with linear progression vs. the open, almost sandbox gameplay of something like Morrowind. Morrowind is hella atmospheric but has zero personality. All the NPCs spew reams and reams of text but it's all identical, copypasted stuff - whether they're a peasant, a soldier or a kind, with a few reaction modifiers here and there. For all the waffle there's no "character" to any of the characters, nothing comparable to Mr. Meme hamster (pictured).

If you at all like CRPGs you are doing yourself a disservice by not at least trying to persevere in Chapter 2 of BG2. The setting is so full of life and flavour.

Let's dispense with the foreplay and have a giant Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 thread.
