Throne of Ball is great especially if you import your old team form BG2. It's just more good old BG.

Shadow of Amn is WAY too short, I just hope ToB is a lot longer.

lol, ToB is pretty short compared to the original. I thought SoA was a REALLY freaking long game, but I did almost every quest...

I agree. The Black Isle games are some of the best value games due to the playing-time. I though SoA was a long game.

SoA could be a short or a long game, depending on how you play it. If you're one of those people that gets a game and tries to finish it as quickly as possible so he can move on to another game, then the main quest of SoA wont last long.

Me, I can't understand those people. I could waste hours just wandering around Athkatla, or Baldur's Gate, or Sigil, just talking to people (before looting their house ) and doing the odd quest.

BG2 gives you the freedom to do this. I guess, in the sense of the main quest, BG2 isn't a 'long' game, but it is a 'big' game, in the sense of all the optional stuff you can do.

I agree it can be short if you want it to be, but I don't know why you would. I'm the sort of person that has to do every quest, otherwise I don't feel fulfilled when I finish the game.

Same her. I even feel bad if I donīt solve the "Puzzle of the Missing Waterbucket" for old lady Ninsystrah De Gahrl. I also have a hard time stealing from poor farmers and peasents out in the woods, knowing they have to work mighty hard to be able to afford that new plow. I guess Iīm a tender-foot.

I leave the farmers and only rob the rich aswell, unless a farmer is really rude to me, and then I break into their house and take everything... they won't be rude to me again!
