@Pladio - Was that really necessary?
You might be surprised. BG2 really isn't very linear once you get past that annoyingly long starting dungeon. It is more linear compared to BG1 though.
As always, the plan is to get through EE and start playing BG2. As I've said before, I've never completed BG2 - or even gotten that far into it. Not crazy about the linear structure - but I have to check it all out just once.
