2e AD&D had a spell called "nap" where you cast it and slept for an hour and got all your spells back like you'd slept for an entire night. it was completely, terribly, broken

its always funny to me how the cuban missile crisis is presented to americans as this fantastic work of diplomacy by the kennedy administration instead of kennedy threatening to end the world if russia didnt back down

I played it for the first time recently and was impressed with SH2s story still holding up.
It's got a good psychological plot with a twist or two that I hadn't absorbed by osmosis.
The music is also very good.

Cons:
The voice acting is very, very bad.
The actual gameplay is terrible old school adventure game nonsense where you find a key to find a key to find a key.
It has that old school way of trying to squeeze perceived value out by wasting your time searching rooms and certain key items only show up in random places after invisible triggers.
Everyone knows the combat is bad but the enemies are just harmless set dressing so it really is just like King's Quest but with a monster stumbling around making spooky noises nearby.

I can see why it's a classic but also why a lot of the og fanbase never played REAL games. Theyr accursed adventure gamers

I think they intended to have this horrific introduction scene to gnolls where they popped out of hyenas chestburster style but I used the ranger option to snap the first one's neck then slaughtered the rest in the first round so I haven't actually encountered a living gnoll yet

I did kill a group of paladins and burn down their house tho

To me it's the dudes that are the most bleh. Astarion is an insufferable oval office. Wyll is boring generic goody-two-shoes hero. Gale is an annoying nerd. Druid guy is fine I guess, he hasn't joined me yet though.

All the ladies are fine. Shadowheart is kinda generic but ok. I like when the gith lady chk's at me.

It's funny that Bethesda released this, then thought "Hmmm, maybe we should actually make a game instead of thousands of miles of nothing," with Morrowind.... and now is fully back to thousands of miles of nothing with Starfield.
