Are great, except for their horrific level of bugginess.
Seriously, I had to end my first play through halfway through because the next city I had to go to didn't spawn any NPCs, and the ones that did were glichy as hell.
Also, you can teleport to the far side of the mountains well before you're meant to and find that most of the 'cities' there are utterly empty.
Isn't there a new TORMENT game coming out soon?
Never got the hate for Aerie, apart from being kind of a boring choice.
>the story sucks and the gameplay is kinda eh
Well, it's the old T1-4 in computer form, so the story couldn't be something more gripping than "go down the Temple dungeons and kill everything".
But on the subject of gameplay, I actually feel the combo of the wheel menu and turn-based non-real time system is the best I've ever played an "Infinity style" game on. Then again I'm a shameless grog, and my second favourite (A)D&D computer game system was the one used in the Gold Box games.
>the majority of the world is evil
That's why God has abandoned us.

>>he's The CE dwarf, The only character with no redeeming qualityes whatsoever.
This is some weaponized bait right there.

Does that mean he wants to fuck rock?
Icewind Dale was always better at being a D&D game.
I don't think there will be a game as good as BG2.
There's been many attempts to make a successor, sometimes they have an interesting quirk in terms of gameplay mechanics (ie divinity).
But there really isn't anything that has that amazing combination of RPG mechanics, magic system, colorful as fuck characters to the point so many are iconic, colorful setting, good music, amazing mods, good voice acting.
The only consistent improvement in games since BG2 has been a silkier and smoother click-and-feel gameplay like diablo 3.
There are still a few gems like Shadowrun Dragonfall, but it seems we only get one decent aspect (characters) and everything else is sub-par.
Morrowind is the best, me1 had the best story of its series, me3 the best gameplay.
