Regarding the EULA... You can opt out of the reporting that was included in the EULA that everyone is upset about. Every game company asks you to send them information about your machine. For some reason people don't like that they want to learn what geographical audience they are catoring to. Well just opt out of the reporting... I read another review where they said you go from a random guard to a hero out of nowere within an hour into the game. They must not have been paying attention to the in game dialog. There is a story driven reason for your meteoric rise (you were never just a random nobody). The game itself... I'm a huge fan of the Heros Of Might and Magic series so it was awesome to see them build that style of campaign play into the game. If that's not your cup of tea, it's completely optional. The story has been fantastic and the characters really well done. Graphics are top notch for the style. RNG is still a pretty major factor so there have been some battles where I got obliterated 2-3 times and then I got a lucky roll early and wiped the enemy like it was nothing but overall I've had a lot of fun with combat. The flexibility with class and story development is out of this world. By the time I got to the last chapter of my first play through I was already planning how I wanted to do things in my 2nd and 3rd playthroughs. I've played through the full Baldur's Gate series probably a dozen or more times as it's always been one of my favorites. This game has taken it's place on that shelf.
