Beat bg2 again and TOB for first time.
Well, I played way too much bg2 and beat it in a month vs bg1 3 months. Haha
BG2 is one of my favorite games, probably was until witcher 3 which is just so damn amazing, and going back was so nostalgic. This game just holds up so well, except for party members running into each other, and the story and irenicus are still top notch. Warner's performance is still amazing and wouldn't be matched for years imo.
This series is such a perfect duology, and bg2 successfully ramps up the stakes of the first game without weakening the characters. The mechanics can be a bit easy to break at times, but it still brings me back to my ad&d days in the basement.
This is also the first time I beat TOB, didn't own then computer broke and didn't have a home one for 10 years. What a great ending, even if I dont think Amelyssan doesn't hit the heights of Sarevok and Irenicus, she and the 5 were great sub bosses. Great satisfying ending imo. Only complaint is treatment of Khalid, which didn't factor enough in jaherias story in the end.
Torn over whether 1 or 2 hits best, but they are so close and seamless they play like 1 near perfect game anyways.
Now a break before bg3, I am intrested if it continues the story or is basically a brand name cause this shit is tied up tidy.
