Ignore the haters. I'm a huge fan of the original BG2, and the EE has all the same stuff. If you don't want to try the new content, you don't have to; it's mostly self-contained.
Coincidentally, I did another solo-sorcerer run through BG2 last weekend. It's still fantastic.
- kgwxd 8y agoThere's talk about some new characters and items that mess up the original "feel" of the game that can't be turned off. I'm trying to read without spoiling anything, that's just the theme I'm seeing.
- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoYou can tell those characters to go away in your initial interactions with them. I think there are three. One in the Copper Coronet, one in the Graveyard District (or was it Trademeet? I don't remember), and one in a random encounter when moving between Athkatla districts. People who say this "ruins" the game are just angry nerds being angry nerds. BG2 wasn't just great for its time; it's great now.
- kgwxd 8y agoI yell at that singing ant-eater thing to go away when it shows up in Star Wars, but it never works :) I'll be annoyed enough by the idea, even though I never played the original. I'll pick up the original if I come across it, but if not, I'll just skip it.
