Okay finish the game this morning and went to sleep :p, almost no sleep since the 8th lol. it is not good as part one, unlike part one you can't pick and create darfs and elfs as the main character.

Story reads like a very cheap tragic chinese history novel. but still get you to play 40 - 50 hours of game play easy.

Don't play a archer its very gimp by the time i developed its tech tree I realize its all gimped out can't do much with it, but didn't feel like starting over again, so i grind it all the way to finish with cheesy strategy to beat hard parts of the game, if you use mage or warrior or rogue without playing the archer part of his skills game is much easier to beat.

hmm alot of cameos by first game characters or its expansions. that part i liked.

spoilers ahead.

I atleast like how this game ended with destroying the hated chantry's mages circle. didn't like this game how you can't play the damn elf or darf. with elf atleast i would of destroy the humans etc.. the elf's are like the native american's of the game or blue alien smurfs from that movie avatar.

    Best. Review. Ever.

    No seriously, Armchair. I played the first game through and enjoyed it (but not as much as say, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion),but hadn't yet made up my mind on whether I'd buy this now or wait a few months when it drops in price. Think I'll wait, thanks.

    Hey AW - how much less RPG-ish is it? I've heard grumbling that it was a little watered down...

    it's a bit water down but faster pace, i spent over 40 to 60 hours on the game :p, which is money worth spent lol. thats like a few cheap meals or one good meal for that many hours of enjoyment. still very enjoyable. for a causal player you can go much longer :p and enjoy the lore much more in detail. only second and 3rd play i'll play it slow, first play through i test out most different out comes etc.. to see the game mechanics. I'm not a causal player of games, i like to test out everything..

    there is another game that came out recently you can easily spent 40 hours to beat. very fun like dungeon keeper, its called dungeons very fun( well almost the same game with updated graphics.)

    Okay - cool. Yeah, I think that I'll wait for a price drop/GOTY edition. I've got enough things to do with my time for now, anyway.
