Baldur's Gate 2 beated.

Great game. Definitely among Bioware's best. A lot of cool mechanics (that I mostly gave examples of in my periodic "oh my god that was so cool" stories I would give over the past few weeks) that I wish more games let you do. OTOH, DnD has some straight-up bullshit too. Instant Kill spells (if you fail a saving throw, or in the case of Imprisonment, nope no saving throw hope you have some way to grant immunity to Abjuration school magic or you just die) combined with "if the MC dies you game over" is some Persona Hama/Mudo horror level only worse in my experience. Protection from Magical Weapons is such a BS spell too. >_>

Still! You can usually prep around things like that and towards the end your party is at such high levels you can do some hilarious stuff, like spam Time Stop and just go full DIO on guys or cast like 6 spells in frozen time and watch them all go off at once when it resumes and laugh.

Cast was a lot of fun and some of the story beats were just great.

Utawarerumono next, I think.
