Torment - Best RPG ever. BG2 is a vanilla fantasy story wrapped up in strong game dynamics and solid role playing. Otherwise it lacks creativity. Not to mention the writing was just hideous. I physically cringed a few times. Not a bad game, but definitely not better then Torment. Fun, and entertaining. Throne of Bhaal on the other hand was just crap.
Bioware has a history s***ty writing, s***ty plot, and worse of all module design. Nothing screams pain like Neverwinter Nights module based design. Look at Neverwinter, every area had the exact same setup why? Because it was a module design they took the same fundamental wireframe and played around with it and changed the theme and aesthetics to reflect that certain part of town. KOTOR was a great improvement in all areas for Bioware but you can still see module design the whole game revolved around finding 4 starmaps on 4 planets that must overcome 4 major hurdles with 4 domestic problems that were interrelated with the star map. Sound familiar?
