The game doesn't deserve the title, Baldur's Gate. It is nothing like BG1 or BG2. Combat is slow and boring. It's turn-based instead of free/live action combat. If you revert back to a save because a battle didn't go your way, you can find yourself fighting the same 6 enemies for 30 minutes to an hour! You can only have 4 companions in your party which is a drag. I find this to be restrictive as you really need to utilize the skills, classes, and spells of 6 people to make an effective team. Maybe if the storyline was consistent with the original 2 Baldurs Gate games, I would want to continue playing for the sake of the story. But again, I am disappointed as I find this new story to be dull and aimless.
