not much ponit in discussing with Marc. He is right, because he says he is right. Just say otherwise, and he will pretty much tell you.

Had this game been titled DOS III, I'd not have bought it in the 1st place. I did not care that much for DOS/DOS II. BG/BG II OTH, I dearly loved. Ergo, I bought BG 3; even after saying I wouldnt. Why?

MOO was great, MOO2 was superb...MOO3, blew chunks.
BL was outstanding...BL 2 was prettty damn good...BL3...blew chunks.
Diablo was fantastic...D2 was utterly superb...D3...blew chunks

My personal experience with 3rd iterations of a serial, has not been favorable. So I had intended to wait until this was on sale in the future, 3 or 4 years probably, for $20 or under. But I watched some youtube, watched some community reveals, loved the visuals so figured..what the hell. If it holds to the pattern of 3rd serials, I can refund. If it works for me...great. Well, it didn't work for me.

As for the 85 minutes I played the game...if after that long you can't tell that you don't like something, then I might suggest you need psychiatric assistance vs the feedback you will garner from a game forum.
