Actually, without the first (and only) patch, it kinda did for me. R00FLES!

Never had a crash. A lesson for you, kids, don't buy your computers from your local drug stores and donuts places.

Nah, just the nasty bug IWD2 had with I think all ATI video cards. Like I said, it was fixed in the first patch.

IWD2 wasn't bad for a mindless hack/slash. I had fun, anyway.

Never played Arcanum though.

IWD2 got very tedious..but it had its moments. Nowhere near as many moments as the original, but they did well considering what they had. I think Sawyer should be proud of his efforts.

Good Lord, this review praises the monkey out of Arcanum. There are also a lot of stupid mistakes.

Eight out of ten isn't a bad conclusion, though.
