Painfully underrated
It pains me that this game has such a low sore on this site and others, as it truly is a very well made game, with good story and good writing. I get that there were quite a few bugs on release, and ideed i stumbled upon a few minor ones even almost a year later, after repeated patching. The ending is pretty abrupt and not quite fulfilling as well. But aside from those two things, there is nothing i can objectively hold against the game. All the SJW scandal that errupted around it is a complete non-issue. It's such a minor detail, that it's not even worth considering. On the contrary, i did find the commentary on current events quite well integrated. The whole plot about Baldur's Gate being invaded by refugees,and all the stories that stem from it,really got me thinking about problems in the real world. And i find that to be a good thing. That's what good fantasy storytelling does: it takes real world, and real life themes and puts them in a fictional setting, in order to provoke thought. The characters, for the most part, are well written and fleshed out as well. I'm starting to wonder if all the people that complain about the poor story and characters, actually remember the original Baldur's gate as it was. Having played SoD right after replaying the original, i did find it is quite a step up story and character-wise from it's predecessor. It's much more tight, more complex, and indeed, more thought provoking that the first game. The bigger scope and set-pieces, such as the sight of Baldur's Gate city swamped by refugees, and the titular siege were quite impressive. So, in conclusion, i must say i am thankful i decided to ignore all the negativity around it, and try it out. I do confess that the 5 star rating is a bit much, as it is not a perfect game. Realistically i would have given it something like 4/5. But i did feel the game and developer needed all the support i can give. They have done a really good job, and i found all the negativity extremely unfair.
