Dorchadas plays Baldur's Gate II, Part II: Escaping the Dungeon

First: After playing for about twenty minutes, I switched the resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 1440 x 900, which strikes a good balance between being a higher resolution than the original and making the environments look good while not making everything so huge that interaction becomes a pixel hunt. It does mean the screenshots here are a bit jumbled

You took Chiyo into a dungeon?

I did. Her father being some kind of transcendent entity even fits!

The beginning, with the wizard as pop-Nietzschean mad scientist, sounds really tonally wrong for a Dungeons & Dragons game. But it sounds like it picked up after that.

I know Irenicus is part of what people talk about when they talk about how BGII's story is great, but I've done a pretty good job of avoiding spoilers in the past decade and a half so I can't say whether all the talk about THE POWER is justified or not.
