because everybody is saying what he thinks is good or bad i will do this as well. first: i think DD and BD are both wonderfull games. DD i think is the best one, but that is probably because i played that as the first one. if i would have played BD first i think i would liked BD the most. because in both games my mouth just fell wide open when i saw how everything fitted togheter perfectly, the sound, the gameplay, just everything. and for that i think the guys from larian studios deserve a statue or something.second: yes it is true that in BD you need to pause the game more, to organise everything in a big fight. But i rather see a challenge in it. and when it is paused you see a lot more of detail in the game or it can result in some nice screens when you paused the game during a fight. i think the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> games are one of the best rpg's i have ever played ( believe me i play a lot). so again another statue for larian studios. so guys if you read this, keep making those wonderfull games !!! I LOVE THEM !!!!
