Yeah, I kind of feel the same way. By the time you get to the city, it feels like most of the plot development is done and you are pressured to just bash your way to the ending. I don't have time for Dribbles! Plus, some of the quests are downright confusing ... Rescue the Duke for one. I have even checked the web to see how to do it, and I still don't understand it.
But I do love the city ... lots of people milling about, interesting alleyways, and occasionally running into characters from earlier chapters. That really gives a sense of life to the environment that the original BG series never quite had (except for Narlen Darkwalk).
