Im not a turn base fan and even I had a blast with how much your allowed to do. Had a blast with character creation and classes, made a barb expert at throwing. I would yit over the enemy random ish, sauseges, cheeses, chairs, barrels, hell made a dwarve in heavy armor with giant axe I would throw across the field killing one enemy and putting him in the middle of the fight. Played super good character, then evil, then and an azzhole manipulater.
Maybe I will give it another chance. I remember loving the 2nd one and its free flowing exploration. Being confined to playing the game within a fixed system takes the fun away. I will give it another go and try to be open minded.
Yeah man you should its a really fun game. Its all about what type of gameplay you enjoy. It is a scripted game that is phased and there are specific thing you need to accomplish. You do have some freedom to do things in whatever order you like within each specific region, and every decision has repercussions. If you do one mission before the other you could become an enemy of the certain group of people and if you kill someone you may not have access to certain missions. Every mission has 5-8 different ways to enter them, either by negotiation, creeping through a cellar, or climbing from a rooftop or using magic to disguise yourself as a certain race and walk right through the front door. I had some serious fun, being a total manipulator, high charisma bard player, I literally got through all my boss fights, by forcing them to either kill themselves, give up or gas light them to turn on their own people. I would place traps in specific places or exploding barrels, and then start an argument turn into a fight and then shot an arrow see explosions take out half the bad guys in a single flick of an arrow. In my first play through I turned my entire crew into long range bowmen or mages with long range casting. I would sneak with high ground and just obliterate everything from above.
I have a fourth play through that I have unfinished where I am a goodie monk that only fights with hand to hand, uses no magic and all his quest are done from a true good mindset only. Also re specd the entire team and turned them all into monks as well, it pretty fun just punching kicking and pushing bad guys off cliffs without using weapons or magic, just a lot tougher to plan ahead and coordinate the battle. The fun factor is definately there.
