When is Baldur's Gate supposed to get fun?

I bought this game because of everyone praising it.

I have played for a while and it is pretty boring.

if you mean the Diablo 2 kinda fun, then no. BG isn't about hectic, all out action....it's about the immersing yourself into the story ( which could just turn out to be not your cup of tea ) and planning your battle tactics carefully to outlast the torrent of foes. Bioware's DnD rules is one of the most sophisticated rpg systems, and it might take a new comer a long while to get into and have fun.

my advice -- do some research and create a character that would really last through the entire game ( which is long ).

Since the beginning in Candlekeep, up to the point where you get to the Throne of Bhaal.

I never bothered to finish Baldur's Gate - it was the only Bioware/Interplay/Black Isle RPG I didn't play through multiple times, since it was rather boring.

BG2 is less boring, I suppose, since you're constantly being forced to rush around the countryside doing side-quests in order to keep your party members from leaving.

I like story based games... how long is it? I don't really care, just wondering... what I really want to know is where to get it.instantdeath999

if you cant find it in stores you can always use Gametap. Baldur's Gate 1 and II are on there, along with other great Bioware games like Icewind Dale 1 and II and Planescape: Torment!
