I love this game dearly. My love for role-playing games was founded here, I even played it before the first part. I remember my friend showing me this masterpiece and burning it (legally of course^^) on several CDs. I love the interactions in the group, the story, Irenicus as a villain, the writing in general...Everything I would criticize in the predecessor has been fixed here. Throne of Bhaal is very linear but still a glorious conclusion. One of the best games of all time. I used to play it every year.
