Leaving aside everything else, how can anybody think the story was any good?
"Hi, Generic Chosen One With Humble Beginnings, I am your Master and I WILL BETRAY YOU LATER IN BIG PLOT TWIST, but pretend you didn't hear that."
"Okay."
"You are, despite your level 1 crappity, a SUPER AWESOME FANTASTIC FIGHTAH. Except you have this SECRET FLAW in your style that nobody else can see and has no impact on gameplay and in fact does nto manifest anywhere, EXCEPT I KNOW IT."
"Oh, so you are totally going to use that against me when you betray me-"
"NA NA NA NA NA"
-5 hours later-
"Hi Master!"
"Yes, I am actually a super evil lord and you can't stop me, because I know the SECRET FLAW in your style and will use this UNBLOCKABLE MOVE to facepalm you!"
"Which makes some sort of strange sense, because the Iron Golem summon is totally broken and I just won the last 30 fights having popcorn while it stomps everything."
Then you go fight some ghosts in some random ghost world thing then fight the Master, where, for some random plot contrivance I forget, you can actually win now instead of getting :facepalm:
Seriously. How can you not see that in the first ten minutes? Especially after Bioware just Revanned you in the face.
However, all in all:
Just some reasonable fun.
Don't take it seriously and ignore the romances, up the difficulty and play with one hand.
Also, every single joinable NPC is a pale imitation of either Minsc or Aerie.
