I guess this is the game I had been waiting 20 years to play?

I'm old enough to have spent hours and hours playing the first Baldur's gate on a candy-colored iMac, and this sequel is an amazing follow up to one of my favorite games ever. The story is pretty great and the mechanics shine - but the characters are the real star of this game. I put well over 100 hours into my first run, and have probably sunk 30 or 40 more just messing around with other characters.

I doubt it will be another 20 years before we get Baldur's Gate 4, but I would be willing to bet that I'm still playing it off and on when that does happen
