Baldur’s Gate 2 Preview
PC.IGN have taken a huge in-depth look at Bioware’s up-coming sequel to Baldur’s Gate, the biggest RPG hit of recent times (I don’t consider Diablo 2 an ‘RPG’). The author, Erik Peterson, seems to have found a reason for living in this small masterpiece.
Here’s the scene: the lights dim, the birds living in the bushes outside my window cease their constant prattle, the celestial choir – directly on cue – thunders into a rousing rendition of the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack, and a shaft of divine light lands directly on the package in my hands.
This week I’ve played more hours of Baldur’s Gate II than I am comfortable disclosing. There was a stretch of several days where I didn’t leave the house. No, worse – I left my room only for microwaved chimichangas and Cherry Coke.
