Well, I have to say, just for those of us who focus on character development for combat/tactics/strategy purposes rather than story, PST was a bit of a disappointment. Still not a bad game, but probably not worth the $40 I plunked down for it originally.

There really isn't much fighting or strategy in it at all. It's more of a RPS (role-playing story) rather than RPG. And if you tend to find fantasy writing of this sort a bit dull, then PST probably isn't for you. There's a really masssive amount of dialogue...

On the other hand, BGII and especially TOB with the enhanced difficulty mod were really really fantastic games. I must have fought the dgorg battle a hundred times; there were so many different strategies one coudl take to it (most of them complete failures, hehe). And I still remember the first time I looked at the stats and abilities on one of those planetars... just complete awe!!!!
