A very good book!
Torment is a different experience, but it is a must.

IWD, BG series, PS:T... they're all good! Get 'em all!
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

If you liked the interaction, combat and story of BG2, get ToB.

If you liked the interaction and role-playing elements of BG2, get PST.

If you liked the combat of BG2 and weren't too bothered about much else, get IWD.

I found IWD got very dull, very quickly. The battles are generally on a more impressive scale than the BG series though :)

BG2 w ToB ranks equal with PST in my mind. They are two fine games.

Icewind Dale was the first game that i played from the series (not realy a series as such i spose but you know what i mean) and i really liked it.
Then i gt BG1 and to start with i did'nt really like it and i left it for a while and carried on playing Icewind Dale.
After a bit i tried it again and i was hooked.
I finished BG1 and then bought SoA and then ToB, and have since gone back to IWD.
But after playing BG, IWD just does'nt seem as good any more, i still like but it just does'nt have the story and the depth that i have come to love from the other titles in the series.
