I liked it a lot but a few bosses really frustrated me. I have the enhanced edition but haven't gotten too far.

I like that they made good magical items in the expansions because the ones in the base game were really boring.

i like that this game uses the Baldur's Gate 1 style of map instead of BG2, like there's something cool in a game like this about being able to roam around non-plot forest zones without every area having its own major quest storyline

Where is this game difficulty wise compared to Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale? I beat Icewind Dale back in the day, I can't remember if I finished Baldur's Gate. I've been thinking about getting it for a while.

Around BG1 level, maybe, since you're starting low level where things can be pretty lethal. The average encounter is generally a little harder than the average encounter in BG2, but not always. And the bonus boss type stuff in BG2 is probably harder than this game gets, though i havent seen whatever fight is at the bottom of the stronghold yet

come to think of it i might have been playing on one difficulty higher than default? but i really dont remember

i barely even remember icewind dale. like i know for sure that i beat it, but after playing the BG games and being able to make your ideal party, you can just sort of walk through the whole thing without thinking much

i stopped like halfway through IWD2 because having silent party members was just too boring

going through as a shark monk now, it sucks that there's only three portraits for them so i had to use this guy again:

monk's great, i do a shitload of damage and it's not as micro-heavy as i'd heard,.it's got a lot of strong passives and the buttons you get when you have wounds are sick as hell

u should draw one. i drew a shark guy but forgot to put the pic on edit: can't draw worth poo poo so it owns

I like that this one new soulbound dagger you can get gets progressively worse and worse as you use it, and then when you finally get it fully upgraded, it's loving insane.

it's still 2 but the sequel coming this year will be 4. it will also have a semi-competitive element where one player might get a quest to act as a bodyguard to a lord and another player might get a secret quest to assassinate said lord and everyone's working together to beat the game but also sneaking around behind each other's backs to complete their personal hidden goals

Moon Godlike Monk is also ridiculously powerful. I think either that or Melee Tank Wizard would be the class easiest to solo with. Im obsessed with soloing this game because BG2 was really fun to solo.

the psychic lasher class, whatever it was called, was also extremely able to solo.

i think they might have nerfed it at some point but whatever. still fun and cool
