Oh god, I just played this game 13 hours in a row, I don't think I've done this since uuh, I don't know, maybe Morrowind or Lineage 2. I was so wrong before when I said it was boring!
It's amazing. Firstly, it's goddamn big. I like how my (even though sometimes tiresome) questioning everything and everybody and reading absolutely anything I get my hands on seem to be regularly rewarded, I got solutions to many quests before I even received them, which is great.
It's like a great detective or suspense thriller, wandering about Sigil and learning about my past deeds, I was genuinely horrified at some things TNO has done. The texts are wonderfully written, every single goddamn one of them. The descriptions are vivid and atmospheric. I can't imagine playing this without knowing enough English, though. That would completely ruin the game. So finally, after about 5 times having started the game and being bored to death, I think I can say this is the best RPG I have played in a long time. Fallout 2 doesn't even come close.
I still hate the fucking pathfinding, the characters getting stuck into one another, clogging up every exit area and taking 30 seconds to move through a door, being unable to move out of one another's way when I need to open some cupboard and such. It's really the worst I've ever seen. I don't remember it being as bad in IWD but that cannot be as both games should be on an identical engine ...?
The first time I opened a walkthrough because I thought I was stuck in a bugged dialogue (certain furniture in the brothel) and of course even when I was trying really hard to just quickly glance at the relevant part I fucking spoiled something for myself. Anyway, I'm really glad I've been purposely avoiding all spoilers in hopes I would one day be able to enjoy this game. The day has come and I happily have no idea what's going to happen next.
ITS SOOO COOL OMG OMG *CUM IN MY EYE*
EDIT: OH MENS I WILL BE COMING HERE FOR ADVICE BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO OPEN ANY WEBSITE ABOUT PST AND GETTING SHIT SPOILED
