@yora @addison To me the thing that REALLY stuck from BG2 were all the NPCs interactions. Not only with the player but also among each other. It really brought the party to life in a way I've rarely seen matched (shoutouts to Yakuza 7 which goes even harder here).

It did a lot of the immersion heavy lifting because having all those clashing perspectives made the world feel very lived in. Agreed that ToB is a bit less interesting but I still rank SoA over BG1. I dunno, my experience with 1 [+1]
