I still play this game on occation not because of the graphics.. but because of the storyline/gameplay.. The game is what I compare most recent RPGs with and surpasses the intensity of the first Baldur's Gate. The avialable side quests and romance quests give the variety and joy most RPGs don't deliver today.. It is a true RPG game meaning it isn't "hack and slash" and requires a bit of strategy/tactics at times. This changes as you increase the difficulty.. meaning the game mechanics change a bit when the game is increased. The music score down to the weapon sounds and voice dialogue is the best it was back in 2000. You can play this game in 4 days if you work at it.. 8 days under "normal" circumstances. Few games in my collection get a perfect 10.. this is one such game. I keep coming back for more... and the ability to play different characters along with romances enhances the replayability.. Party makeup is affected endgame in ToB.
This is one game that will keep you coming back!! Well worth the 50 bucks originally paid and overly worth what it is now..
