Hands Down, This Is The Best RPG Ever
This is the game the transformed me into from a once-in-a-while-gamer into a hardcore gamer.
Why is BG2 so great?
BG2 has the ultimate non-linear story line. You can play it loads of different ways, all with different outcomes, because the decisions that you make will impact how the story line unfolds. This is the only game I ever played where I'd take a break from it and go into the kitchen for something to eat, and spend a long time wondering what decision I should make in the game, and what effect that would have in the game and on my NPC's.
The NPC's are fantastic. There are many to choose from who will join you - up to 6 can join you at a time. In most games, NPC's are merely an extra fighter to help you out. In this game, they talk to you while you are walking along, they argue with you when they don't agree with your decisions, and they even tease and argue with each other. Plus you can have a romance with one of them. So while you are traveling from one part of the game to another, these NPC's entertain you. And with certain decisions you make, some NPC's will leave you. There is no other game out there that has put so much effort into developing all aspects of NPC's. I wish there was. To me, it's what really makes BG2 the greatest RPG ever.
Last, the story line really immerses you and this is the only game that when I finished it the first time, I cried. I was that involved.
