This game is what all rpgs should strive to be. The depth of the game-play is incredible! The customization of everything from race and class to the color of your clothing is nothing short of cool. You are able to chose the way your character develops and who accompanies him in his quests. The variety of compatriots you have to choose from is a nifty way to keep the game fresh and new every time you play it (and play it more than once you will). The only constant in my party is the ever lovable "Boo the space hamster" and his dimwitted owner Minsc. The storyline is interesting from get-go and only improves as the game unfolds. The main path that one takes through the game is only eclipsed by the numerous and intriguing side quests. You will do everything from running menial errands to conquering dungeons and slaying wizards in the pursuit of the all important experience points that the side quests provide. The game takes place in a large world so there is lots to explore. My recommendation however, is to play it with it's expansion pack 'Tales of the Sword Coast' which will add a lot more areas to explore as well as additional weapons and side quests. The creatures you will encounter are numerous and true to the D&D theme. There are lots of "sword fodder"..er..I mean monsters to battle with and loads of NPCs to interact with. If you love the Dungeons and Dragons genre or are just a gamer, there are endless hours of enjoyment to be had for any serious rpg fanatic. This is my all time favorite game!
