Actually what I liked about Fallout 1/2 and now Arcanum is that you can wander around and encounter stuff without feeling nudged to adhere to the storyline oh so often. In BG1 I often do everything ele before I even bother to go to Baldurs Gate and save the day.


BG1 had a richer feeling to it.

BG2 needs about 10 wilderness area's you can freely wander around to give it that "largeness" that BG1 had. BG1 actually felt like there was a countryside to roam and it was a long way from Nashkell to BG city.

BG2 = 3 or so main area's on the worldmap outside of the city? It's a small world.

Full agreement. It was the wilderness areas that did it, even though after you'd made the trek once you could 'teleport' ever after. I was quite disappointed the first time I played SoA because there weren't any - I had been quite looking forward to exploring the world.

Yes, it felt stilted somehow - in Baldur's Gate, I had a feeling that I know every inch of the countryside; in SoA/TOB, I had to be reminded that I am now o! in Thethyr, not Amn. I wish that they set the second campaign in a different part of Faerun (just my opinion) in the Unapproachable East, or Cormyr, or Dalelands, or Turmish or Moonshaes, or Chessenta, or Mulhorand... well, anywhere, I guess. It's just Amn was so much like Baldur's Gate....
