How much time a week do you spend playing BGII?

Post by Screaming Johny »

It seems like some people play every night, while others of us a couple of times a week. The purpose of the poll is to see who of is a casual player, a regular player, or needs a life!

So lets take a poll, How much time a week (on average) do you spend playing BGII?

For me, I play about 3 times a week, a few hours at a time. My average is about 5-10 hours per week. How about you?

I currently have it uninstalled...because I don't have much space. I'm currently playing Neverwinter Nights and Planescape: Torment, so I don't really have time to bother to reinstall it.

ATM, nothing at all... too many things to do, studies, my band...
But I can say I played it, er... A LOT :rolleyes:
Well, when the Mods I'm waiting for will be ready, I'll find the time again, surely :rolleyes:

After not playing for some time I have started again... actually I have restarted a couple of times but now I have found a good soloclass... the swashbuckler/mage. I am probably in the 5-10 hours a week group right now. I always have to set the alarm whenever I play because I get so caught up in this wonderful game.

I can't see how people can play it over and over again. Don't get me wrong, I reckon its an awsome game but I just get bored of a game after a couple of run-throughs.

To each his own, I suppose. :)

Speaking for myself, the awesome mods give the game the longevity it deserves. I am not a hard core player, I just enjoy the game as it is, and it's fun testing out some of the strategies that other people use.

At a "deeper" level, beating the living cr@p out of the end bosses in so many ways is my substitute for achievement in real life. ;)

Now that I have played this game alot I understand how spells and game mechanics work. It would have been nice to know this much when I first played the game. It would be great if they could do another game using the same game mechanics. I would buy it for sure.
Thats why the mods are so great.

I have temporarilly stopped to try out Planescape: Torment. After that will be Alice and NWN, so it will be awhile before I get back to BG. But I still haven't done any of the Romance mods except Nalia's so there is still plenty to keep my interest.

I got bored by most games even before finishing them ONCE....
I wasted often my money :rolleyes:
but BG2 has all I need from a game, so I can bear some reoccurring dialogs and
dungeons, especially with new mods to add features and improvements :)
