I am not talking solely about BG II, because Icewind Dale, Divine Divinty...
Is the first one better than the second in this aspect? I've only tried the second one (and hated it. After the first town it was nothing but a bunch of gang battles. I gave up somewhere in the goblin (or whatever) stronghold, which is the second place you go to by the way).
Otherwise I agree with you. RPGs today so lack of fantasy, all you do is kill things. I'm trying to play BG2 now, but is giving up due to the old, sucky D&D (verision 2, right?) system, and the in todays mesure old graphics. And you can't do the evil quests in a good guy manner (don't kill him as they tell you to do, tell him to go underground for a while, and finnish the quest that way. Might not be very good, really, but it's about breaking a thievers guild, and you're neutral good so...). And a bit too many quests contain a bit too much fighting, otherwise it's kind of good. Maybe I should get going with that main story...
Oh, and wellcome to the forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />.
