[QUOTE="Endur, post: 5853918, member: 3346"] From your post, I'm not sure if you ever played BG2. My perspective is that BG2 was even better than BG1. The overall story may become boring at a certain point in the game, but the actions of the NPC party members were never boring. If all of the BG2 NPC party member narratives and discussions were filmed as part of a soap opera or games of throne like series, it would have been pretty interesting. I look at Dragon Age:Origins and Witcher as attempts to get back to the glory of BG2. Are there things that DA:O and Witcher do better than BG2 did? Absolutely. Graphics engine. Long drawn out character story. complicated interactions with NPCs. BG2 had complicated character stories and romances, but DA:O and Witcher go further. That said, BG2 did NPC interactions better than any game I had seen previously. It set the standard for everything that came afterwards. I look at BG2 as sort of like Star Wars, and DA:O and Witcher as sort of like later films in the trilogy ... better special effects, but the genre was set in the first movie. [/QUOTE]
