A great game i would recommend to anyone, with a nice story line and a very dark atmosphere throughout you will find a lot of fun in this title. This may not have the rpg decision making of the other games but it packs a solid punch in terms of its story line and very fun areas to explore with the combat system being decent and character progression/levelling to chose how you wish to develop. I enjoyed this a lot and for the relatively small price there is a lot of game here.
I own this title on steam, and felt compelled to write a small review on it here. This is hands down the best pc game story line written, the only other game that for me came close to this in story but was a bit clunkier, was vampire the masquerade redemption. The game mechanics are a bit clunky, the shooting is fun, but all that is vastly over shadowed by a tremendous story, sound track, and atmosphere created by the environment your set in. The first mission of the game is probably the best mission on a game i have played, and it also throws you straight into the thick of things, right into suppressing the enemy and clearing out the liberty statue. Get this game, it will be one of the best 1-5 dollars you spend for a piece of pc gaming history that even though my favourite, still probably ranks in the top 5 of any respected pc gaming journal out there.
Superb game. The game play is a little clunky but the development system with experience points and spell selection is great. This game has a great atmosphere, and one of the best stories iv ever played in a game. The story and how it develops is thee best part of it, the only other game where i enjoyed the story as much as this was deus ex, and that says a lot about what i personally think of it. Give this a game a go it's a part of history, the whole idea of being human, then becoming a vampire, and playing out your quest for redemption into the modern ages, is both original and superb.
I love all the baldurs gate series, icewind dale series, have the enhanced editions etc which are great in my opinion truly. This game is a step above the rest in every regard, it has been really well thought out not just in the new rules, but in the fights them selves which see you requiring different tactics for different battles across the game, which means the importance of variety in your party and the ability to be more all rounded is important. I can't stress how good this game is for the people that loved the infinity engine games. Some of the battles are really hard, even early in the game and require thinking which puts some people off, but if your willing to persevere it's an extremely rewarding experience and might i say, no rpg's today bring such a complete experience where the locations change so vividly, so do the opponents, the challenges, and then to top it all off you have the superb new 3.0 edition rules to go with all of that new content. You cant lose purchasing this game if you love rpg's, not in my opinion.
