Still, you should try playing BG2 then. Get the enhanced edition. It is an excellent game. It's not like diablo...it is real time combat, but you will wanna pause and decide what you want each party member to do usually(up to 6 in your party, including your character).

Great game. Like I said, get the enhanced edition.

Well, the first 2 enhanced editions did come to android, along with Icewind Dale, Planescape Torment, and Neverwinter Nights. Might check 'em out.

Don't get me started on NWN, I love that game. And it is unique in that it comes with the aurora toolset to let you create your own mods. This is why, despite being released in 2002, the NWN community is still thriving. I still play it and people still make mods for it.

For me I love it more than any BG game. In NWN you don't have to worry about an entire party, you have yourself and you can hire one henchmen and u can't micromanage them. Though you can add additional characters via summoning. And if you are a magic user you can add another via your familiar if you want.

And I gotta say some of the fan made mods were of superb quality. And plenty of the high quality ones also offered many hours of gameplay, like 20-40. Hell, if you like diablo...they remade diablo 1 and 2 in mods and they are actually pretty accurate, even down to the music.

Though you say they came to android, u mean u will play it on a phone? I would recommend a PC.

Btw Planescape Torment is also excellent. More story driven than the other games, but still good.

Anyone remember the Champions games? Norrath and Return to Arms?

Those were awesome.

I only recall a ps2 game about champions of norrath

Until Larian can figure how to get BG3's split-screen working on the Series S (which they're having trouble doing because the thing sucks), it's never touching Series X because of a policy of Microsoft's.

BG3 getting a physical with PS5 version getting 2 discs, Xbox 3 discs along with extra physical goodies in the deluxe edition all for $80. Anyone remember Blizzard selling the Collector's Edition of Diablo 4 that didn't even come with the game and still charged for $100? lol

Still want to play this on PC, could do PS5 I guess. Just don't have the time right now for what I assume will be a wholly immersive game.

It's on Xbox now. They shadow dropped it during or right after the awards last night.

It's a time sink, but totally worthwhile if you've got the time to spend. I believe I was 80 hours in or so by the time I got to Act 3.
