Won't go into too many details. I luv Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale. This games graphics beats them both by a long shot. Game is huge for quests and character building. Yes, some points of the game will kick ur butt. But who doesn't like a challenge? Being a Baron is tough unless ur very familiar with this part of the game. Time is super sensitive to not getting some Baron responsibilities done in time but it only affects ur stats of your land. The game doesn't give u enough time to get everything done and still explore like an adventurer. :But u can automate the Baron part. Overall, this game was worth buying when on sale. It's a deep game with lots to do. I'd give it a 4.5 but can't so I rounded up. LOL
