I've just buyed this one and I like it a lot I would like to know what others have to say about this game. I've played the BG Original saga and TotSC and BG2 Shadows of amn. So having played those games before BGDA is not that very great but Is still one wonderful game for me. BTW, Information about BGDA2 would be appreciated as if it is coming to Game Cube cause I've seen ads of it coming to Xbox and PS2 but do you know if it is going to be on GCN.

Nah, the story isn't any good. The wierd guild quest is pretty stupid. And don't get me started on the ending. FAR to few PCs to choose from.
However, it was quite nice in the Hack'n'Slash aspect. Plus, playing as Drizzt was somewhat fun, even though I think they should've let you play as other famous characters as well.
Multiplayer was only fun a little while... got boring quickly .

I liked the game, I liked the story and the end was pretty much like most games. I played all the way through in multiplayer with another person and I thought it was one of the best elements.

BGDA was very combat heavy but it looked nice and was fun. Even though the game used D&D rules it wasn't nearly as confusing as NwN. Choosing and applying feats was greatly simplified.

As for the number of player characters... when does a console ever offer the flexibility of a PC game?

Yeah you can't expect much from console RPG games they aren't as great as the PC ones.

BTW: I putted this game in Absolutely Off-topic cause it is a console game. But here's just fine.

I picked this game up last weekend and lets say I like it. It's not a RPG in its purest meaning. Fast paced hack'n slash RPG with good graphics and lots of things to explore. If one likes Diablo, why not like this.
