This ending is a long time coming. I have stopped and started this game four times since its release. I have no excuse either. This is the top echelon of isometric cRPGs. Sure, the graphics have grown outdated in the past decade, but story, gameplay, audio and controls all hold up magnificently and were even the gold standard for what could be accomplished back in 2000 for this genre.

No, the reasons I have never beaten this title until now solely rest upon my shoulders. As I age, my patience for tedium increases at the cost of perhaps my jerk reflexes. Though, I have been playing RPGs my whole life, so large blocks of endless exposition are nothing new to me. Also, I've enjoyed DnD since the second edition, so the complex balance between gear, THAC0, magic and stats is old hat for me as well. Lastly, Forgotten Realms is my favorite fantasy world and I have all the books, most of the games, and it has inspired me to fulfill my own demiurges.
So the graphics, audio, gameplay, controls, story, setting, genre, and mechanics are all decent, magnificent, precise, awesome, divine, perfect, and nostalgic....then, why have I waited fifteen years to beat this...

hmm, wait...wait a second....15....1 and 5 is 6. and the game came out in 2000....6 divided by 2 is three. and 15 is divisible by five 3 times...so like the three points of an Illuminati pyramid, this obviously alludes to the coming announcement of Half-Life 3.
