"@Horma: I have not, although everyone who has played both says the same thing as you. If it's the same magnitude of difference as there is between FO1 and FO2, then BG2 will definitely be worth it.  \n  \n\n  \nI liked PST for the writing, not the gameplay, though I did like the gameplay. The writing is what's memorable to me. I want to be clear about that, so I am not putting down other games in aspects in which they were pretty good. \n  \nAs far as BG - a lot of people love it an are offended by my opinion on it. I really did feel like I tried to enjoy it and hoped it would get better the whole game, but it just didn't, for me. To me, an RPG is a story first and foremost. If it manages to teach me something, all the better. BG felt so standard, so painfully trite. I tried talking to characters, I tried paying attention to the world, but I just didn't care. As far as weapons and skills - it seemed like some boring, natural progression of picking up whatever had more damage - so even the gameplay didn't feel interesting. \n  \nI realize I sound like a troll, but I hope I don't fully come of that way, because I mean what I say and actually do feel bad to talk that way about something people like, especially since people who created it may see this forum. In the end, I think by the time I played BG, it just felt like every other game, ever. \n  \n  \n\n  \nI really don't think PST is meant to have any replay value tbh. \n  \nedit: I guess I should say this - I am not a gamer. I play games, and I don't have anything against gamers, but I have played D&amp;D once in my life. I play maybe 5% of the major PC games that come out (dont own consoles at all), and don't have a single game installed on my computer atm. Most games, to me, are a way to pass time when I am being lazy, not something I particularly look forward to or think about. PST was just ****ing magical to me, for a lack of a better word. \n  \nAnd again, I am not out to offend anyone, though I realize that my first post can offend people - I just wanted to stress how much PST stands out to me, personally. \n"
