As if all of this wasn’t great enough news for the hardcore RPG fan, Baldur’s Gate also has a great multi-player option that makes it easy and rewarding to journey with friends. Tal and I found multiplayer to be much like the single player mode with just a few exceptions. First off, since you aren't picking up loads of NPCs (at least when you're playing with six people you're not picking up any NPCs) you tend to miss out on many of the subquests that fill out the story of the game. There's nothing that keeps you from doing them, it's just that you may not know where they actually take place. Second, the multiplayer game, as you might imagine, didn't seem to be as stable as the single player mode. We experienced several crashes and lock-ups, but not so frequently as to be all that irritating (actually they forced us to take a look at our surroundings every now and then). Finally, and this is key, the multiplayer game is only as much fun as the people you play with. As with a real game of AD&D, it only takes a couple of guys more interested in smacking each other around than adventuring to ruin a game. I'm not talking about anyone specifically here, but I hope that Aaron and Desslock will kiss and make up before the next session.
