The game would've been better if we'd been able to play the heroes of Europe instead of the antagonists cast in a positive light by virtue of killing zombies.
This is a shitty cash-grab, not an actual Baldur's Gate game, and certainly not a sequel to the originals. It has no continuity of writing, of gameplay, of developer, or anything else. This is a completely different type of game, with completely different gameplay, by completely different developers, with completely different mechanics, written by completely different writers. It has absolutely no claim to the name of Baldur's Gate, and absolutely no claim to being a sequel, save for a paper slip from a marketing department. Do not reward this behavior.
