Edit: I'll revise and repost my thoughts tomorrow. I do not wish to tread on toes.
P.S: I think you'll find nobody hates Larian or their games... we're just judgemental, and after spending money on a game (Which to some of us is a lot of money), we feel we are entitled to said opinion.
Oh, pooh! LOL I was in the middle of responding to a comment you made in your original post only to find you've edited it! Drat that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Oh well - you should keep your post up there. Feedback is feedback. And every opinion counts. I do agree with you on one point and I would not recommend BD as an 'intro' game into the world of RPGs. Divine Divinity is a good game to start out with. Then again, I'm quite fond of that game, so consider me biased! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Well, I hope you reconsider posting your thoughts.
