dos 2 is an absolutely incredible game, and I hope that (c)rpgs in the future follow in its footsteps. the game's world is amazing, and deep, and you can discover new things on each playthrough due to differences in party, class, background, and so on.

one huge downside is that there ARE so many choices, and it is very tempting to restart the game and play as something else (which I've done three times now in the final act of the game. I've never finished it).
