A great transitional entry between BG1 and BG2, a which continues Beamdog's amazing artistic remake of the series and outstanding writing. Interface has been redesigned/streamlined a bit, which took a few minutes to adjust to but seems to work much better overall. Only a little ways through the story but so far very happy. I've been playing D&D (tabletop and video games) since 1994, and this still has the old feel with modern aesthetics and sensibilities! As a side note, I'm absolutely thrilled that BeamDog took a moment--even if it was something as small as two lines of optional dialogue--to give some love to a minority that it deeply involved in the making and playing of games (trans people), who are so often treated as jokes or fetish material in other games.
