    They really aren't that difficult to learn, it uses the AD&D rules which are strange, but not overly difficult (I like that Icewind Dale 2 uses 3rd Edition rules, which I'm used to, but Baldur's Gate is utterly superior to it in storyline). The low level limit in BG 1 makes it a difficult game, BG 2 has a much higher level limit and is thus not quite as hard, and quite a bit longer. It's a really good game, I highly recommend it to anyone who has a bit of extra cash.

    I don't really see the point of all these D&D rule sets (now granted a I know nothing about them) but wouldn't it just be easier to use their own rule rather than Advanced ruleset whatever.

    A BG3 will not be developed. At least not by the Bioware team.
    If one is looking for a BG3 in spirit, then it'd be Dragon Age. No more DD rules, but Biowares own ones. I have great expectations for this game.

    BG3 I think is now being named The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, but I could be completely wrong.
    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan

    Yes, you are completely wrong.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a whole different game.

    Baldur's Gate is pretty sick, but I like KOTOR I and II a lot more. It's basically the same thing, only with Jedi and a bunch of Star Wars fanservice and there's not as much aimless wandering/somewhat goal-oriented wandering.

    Also, as cool as Minsc and some of the other characters are, KOTOR has HK-47. Do I need to say any more?
    No.
