that's exactly what he liked about IWD one of the things, that is.
what confuses me is that nobody here brought Torment up yet
I find liking the lack of awesome spells somewhat counterproductive, but to each their own.
As for Torment, the combat isn't anything to write home about. Could have used more bizarre reality-bending special abilities, MotB did that part pretty well incorporating your unique "condition" into the gameplay.
