Is it still worth playing?

BioWare's 2000 role playing game for Windows, set in the land of Amn around the city of Athkatla, with the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition rules. It continues the story of Gorion's Ward, whose heritage has drawn the attention of Jon Irenicus, a powerful and sinister mage. Its play is real time with a pause, from an isometric view, on the Infinity Engine. You lead a party of up to six, with 11 classes, among them the new barbarian, monk and sorcerer, and over 300 spells to memorise. A character can be imported from the original game, and the experience cap rises to nearly three million. The game is large: the main quest takes 50 to 60 hours, and there are easily a hundred side quests, many with good, evil or stealthy solutions. Since the world changes to reflect those choices, a new playthrough still has things to find today.
