I finally just walked away talking about 'fuck Fallout 2, piece of shit.' I play BG2 about once every two years and it gives me zero fucking lip, so it's not about the age of the game. I know this game is supposed to be bad-ass and I really want to play it, but after spending four hours just getting it to load, then another hour trying to figure out how to open the first locked door (nope, lock picking doesn't fucking work-my browser is choking on Fallout 2 walk-thru and troubleshooting websites) and being able to start the game maybe one out of five times, I'm wondering if I'm really missing the game experience that's been described.
It will load, crash on loading a save, crashed at the first intro video.
This assumes, of course, that I'm able to even get to the game's loading screen. It's hard as shit to see anything with these shitty graphics and right-clicks register about half the time. I'm banging my head against a wall trying to get the second door unlocked. So, I haven't even gotten past the motherfucking first temple. Son of a fucking bitch, but this game's UI sucks mad ass.
