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.
AD&D system is not sucky! It's probably much more complex than the ones used in most other games you've played, but it's interesting because it's original and the character development system really gives you the sense of progress. It's a pity that you quit. You have really missed out on the best thing that's ever happened in the history of role playing games.
Like you, I was quickly discouraged by the complex ruleset in my first attempt at playing BG 2. I put it aside to play KotOR for a while. I had tons of fun with it and after a few months, I stumbled across this really good guide about AD&D ruleset (2nd Edition) by Dan Simpson at Gamefaqs. I learned it for a few days and decided to give the game another shot. I couldn't stop playing it for months after. I suggest you check the guide at the site. Sorry I can't provide you with the link because I don't know how. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
