    [​IMG] I've read reviews that say things about how the elves have died and that the Pool's getting a bit murky of late, also that the ruins are ruined, if you know what I mean... I've heard that it is boring and consequentially a market dip. What's so bad about it? Persuade me to buy it...

    [​IMG] There are tons of reasons to buy POR!

    1. The box is really Kool! It almost makes you feel like you're actually buying a game. Just look at the cover and pretend it says "BGIII---The Room Behind the Throne of Bhaal."

    2. The game comes in a jewel case you can use to rebuild the container for the Cranberries' cd you stepped on after you abused a 1/5 of rum 'cause your girlfriend ditched you when she found out you were dumb enough to buy POR without checking the reviews. Jesus, I'll never make that mistake again.

    3. It costs $40.99. When you spend the money, you're thumbing your nose at bin Laden. In retrospect, I wish I'd given the money to the poor. It would have put $40.99 into the economy and shaved some time off my purgatory sentence.

    4. If you have insomnia, you can play the game and wake in the morning in front of a frozen pc.

    5. Ummmm.....Did I mention the nice box?

    The world of the game is baren, the gameplay is dull, there's hardly a thing that you can call a story, etc., etc. ...

    BUY IT FROM ME!

    I've got a copy I would be more than willing to part with for $20 plus shipping.

    I must warn you though.....it really sucks!

    [​IMG] Okay, it's enough! I've finally given up this game and will return to BGII ToB. It's a nightmare, not a computer role playing game!
