I knew it would happen. I knew the moment I really took the time to flesh out my character and play – knowing I had the full game right in front of me – I’d become obsessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, I loved Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2. They were epic. Throw in the fact that I spent probably as much time coming up with character concepts in D&D 3E as I did playing while in college, and.. Yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was guaranteed a critical fail in resisting the temptations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my first playthrough I opted to go with a dashing Drow rogue turned assassin (prestige classes ftw), because.. Well, is anybody surprised that someone who runs a site with a focus on stealth games played a stealthy character?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, the experience has been magical. I actually replayed one encounter multiple ways just to see all the options for how to handle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My main is also a bit of the “face” of the party, with enough Charisma to get them through a number of encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What impresses me the most in this game is the both the writing, and the complexity of the systems being implemented (and implemented well). Neither are a simple feat in a game of this scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did notice a handful of minor quirks; One NPC you encounter had VO that wasn’t consistently recorded, and appeared to have used a different mic as there are dramatically different tonal characteristics between the first few lines and a later one (in the same conversation, FYI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, that is relatively minor compared to the grand visage this game provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you need me, I’ll be in the Forgotten Realms. Don’t wait up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
