This game took me right back to my youth playing baldurs gate 1 and 2 into the early hours of the morning. Telling myself just finish this next quest, just talk to these people, just go to this store. The writing was very solid, there was just enough voice acting to keep me invested(although i do enjoy a good read, so the text walls did not bother me so much) and the characters were great. I have not found myself so interested in companion character/party members since mass effect 2. I felt real depth, progression, investment with this title. I found myself wondering what would happen next while i was not playing. Is there anything groundbreaking, game changing? No, not really, however in a day and age where games seem to release with less and less substance, i find it refreshing to drop 50 hours into a game and still have story and progress to unfold. Not only that, but to still be interested in the story that is there, i find that phenomenal. This is exactly the kind of game i have been hoping for..... for years at least. Thank you obsidian! If you enjoyed Bladurs Gate, Fallout, Icewind dale, Arcanum, this is right up your alley.
