One of the top RPGs in the History of gaming .
The gameplay is stunning with all the sidequests you can accomplish. There are quests that let you gain castles and theif guilds but I don't want to spoil anymore. There are also quests that might dig you deeper in the plot and it's not even a story quest! There are many pieces of equipment and many ways to create your character starting with race class and gender. On my first set up, I spent a half an hour just creating my character, just by that you can tell that the set it up great.
The story contiunes from the orginial with you being kidnapped by a wizard and it unravels from there. Plot twists, alliences and betreals make the story a juicy one.
The graphics are pretty good, I've always enjoyed those 2D graphics, even in these days. They have bigger resalutions that you can set up on your computer and overall the textures are great.
Just buy the game, it's cheap and quite possibly it's one of the best rpgs ever.
