Warhammer, excellent post, just excellent. Covers my thoughts extremely well. I also agree with much of Kiya's posts.
BD has so many wonderful concepts, but they have been ruined for me by either massive bugs (my summoning doll won't stay summoned, the BF's are uselesss) or design decisions that have led to frustration rather than fun (withholding information on charms, alchemy, etc.; uncountable reloads by stepping on neutral animals; serious balance issues in combat).
Yet I love the story concept so far. I love everything about BD except the way it was actually implemented. Does that make sense? (Probably not; it barely makes sense to me and I know what I mean! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )
I hope Larian will take BD feedback into account when constructing DD2. And yes, despite my problems with BD I will buy DD2 the moment it hits the shelves. I have confidence that Larian will analyze gamer feedback, learn from it, and give us another RPG Of The Year contender in DD2!
