It is addictive, but I have very mixed emotions about it. Baldur's Gate it is not. I think that if it had great NPC interactions like in BG, it would be a top game, but there is little to no NPC interaction. However, compared to the other RPG's that have come out since BG2, it is the best of them so far... I wrote some of my more negative criticisms of MW on the MW forum here, and got flamed like crazy. Luckily, Fable is there to protect me! I had no idea that the people on that forum would be offended by my minor criticisms of the game.
Why oh why can't someone make a game like BG??? Is it so hard to give us what we want? The best moments of BG for me were just walking along with the NPC's and listening to some of the conversations they struck up with each other--esp. the Jan Jansen / Keldorn adult diaper discussion.
At any rate, I do recommend buying the game. But don't expect it to be like BG2. The positives: fantastic graphics, interesting monsters, extremely non-linear game-play. The negatives: no NPC interactions, non-intuitive game-play (learning curve for this game is pretty steep), tedious travel (a lot of folks disagree with me on that one).
Just gonna keep waiting for NWN and Fallout 3 (if that ever happens) and hope that they live up to BG2's legacy.
