This is a great game and a decent port of it. It is quite qlitchy, especially during battle scenes. The screen starts jumping and shaking like a tv from the 70s (the kind where you'd have to prop the knob in a general direction with cardboard or something), and then once it straightens itself out and you can see again, characters are either dead or on their deathbed.

Worth playing through for some cool battles. The story itself is mediocre but passable. What's unforgivable is the dialogue in the closing sequence. It's very much at odds with the opening dialogue for Shadows of Amn (the direct sequel to this installment, which was published two decades ago). More time invested in the narrative choices of NPCs could have salvaged this game, but sadly it just feels jarring and clunky

I understand that a lot of people aren't too happy with SoD because of some progressive elements and "railroading." Railroading happens often in the BG Saga, so this shouldn't an issue at all, I actually like how it nicely sets up the transition to BG2, rather than the normally abrupt BG1>2. I don't have enough space to cover exactly how the progressive stuff is really done well and inobtrusive if you want it to be. Gameplay-wise, lots of tough, fun battles, cool items, and some neat quests.
