Solid effort in need of an editor
I'll get the elephant in the room out of the way first. A lot of people complain about heavy-handed social justice warrior nonsense in this game. I honestly don't really see all that much of it, although the inclusions are fairly ham-fisted and sophomoric when they do appear. I think the real problem stems from an interview wherein the lead-writer loudly announces her intentions to infuse the game with her own political rhetoric, millions of fans be-damned. Advice to Beamdog, find writers who don't feel the need to overshare their politics with everyone. If she hadn't chosen to act so smug and self-righteous, this probably wouldn't have blown up. The good stuff: 1. They've brought back the original voice cast (sans one or two), which is great. 2, The characterizations (while not completely accurate to the original) feel somewhat deeper than the older versions, and provide for some nice role playing opportunities. 3. Several of the dungeons are quite fun, and have many interesting secret. 4. The engine changes are largely for the better, and it's great to be able to do things like have a shield equipped but still switch to a bow or two-handed weapon. The bad stuff: 1. The game is buggy, even with the latest 2.1 patch. After getting to the crusader camp area, I could no longer save unless I hit the quicksave button roughly 20 times. I had to reload a main save from a couple hours back which was not cool. It also crashed to windows a few times. 2. Some of the writing and dialogue is quite good, and you'll find yourself enjoying it until it until you are hit in the face with some inexplicable design decisions. Examples include: A surfer dude, pot head that sounds terribly out of place, a transexual living in a world where a sex change is a magic spell away, and so on. However, there is nothing another round of editing couldn't fix. Despite any shortcomings, I still recommend it to fans of the series. Hopefully they will get to make more.
