Why I hate BG2...

Thief 2.

Not an RPG I know, but THAT was a well done game.

I preffered the first one

Just out of interest, what has this to do with hating BG2?

Diablo 2? No you're getting confused, Baldur's Gate II is a role-playing game.

He was saying, in effect, "Diablo 2 is a poor sequel to the original Diablo, and in the same way, BG2 is a poor sequel to BG1."

@ Ode to a Grasshopper,

Is your user name a Jim Morrision rip-off (The End at the Hollywood Bowl) to be specific.

btw, welcome to game banshee.

Yep...directly stolen from The End.
It beats "Soap on a Rope", which was my first idea...

As for what Thief 2 has to do with hating BG2...I forget. It was relevant somehow, I think...
I haven't played Thief 1 yet.

A decent troll. It manages to refer to sex, disparages something most posters here feel strongly about (BG), includes a disclaimer ("just my opinion") and explicitly invites response.

The fact that the poster's name is "Critic" throws me off somewhat. Isn't that a bit too obvious?

I also sense a certain absense of B1FF-isms... Not enough 1337 or "cute" spelling errors.

It was true anyway

Definately worth it, perhaps not techniolocally as good, but the storyline is fantastic
