I don't feel comfortable leaving an actual rating on this one, but I just have to say: this is the game the finally made me realize that traditional CRPGs aren't for me. The crunchy, ultra-tactical combat, the isometric-(ish) perspective, the "BioWare, but actually good" writing, the endless voice acting...these are all things that appeal in theory to me, but every time I sit down to try to play DOS 2, I just get bored and turn it off. Don't get me wrong, this game is a phenomenal example of the genre, and certainly the best one I've ever tried. (I've played the first five hours four times now.) But every time I turn it on, I just want to go run a tabletop game for my friends instead.
