I agree. I like the party system, as long as the other members of the party are not AI-controlled. The BG series had a great party system, and I personally thought that the party gave the game a lot more replayability. You can experiment with different party configurations, hire different people, or even go at it solo. I like the idea of the main character being "chained" to a death knight, and I think that it's a great concept. There have been many times in DD where I was thinking, "hmm, sure is lonely out here in the big DD world..." Gets lonely. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
