Game play
The use of warrior characters is mainly to create a buffer between the enemies and the more fragile characters, normally heavy armor and melee weapons serve well. Thieves serve a less combat intensive purpose, catching traps and opening locks, but can serve as backstabbers and ranged. Mages serve as the most powerful offensive characters with devastating spells. Clerics serve as healers and support, acting as the mage or warrior role if needed.
A good party has a thief, mage, cleric, and 2 warriors + one extra character for narrative value. By multi-classing less characters are required leaving room for more "fun" characters. It is also possible to win the game with only the main character.

Game play
The game play of this game is amazingly complex and the replay value is infinite. The many combinations of classes and skills allows for over 50 different games each one taking between 2 months to 2 weeks. While the game world doesn't change between the different classes other than a sub quest that is different depending if you choose mage, warrior, thief, or cleric, the gameworld is so huge that It is nearly impossible to discover every sub quest without playing the game over 10 times. (I personally have finished this game over 50 times).
The graphics for this game are amazingly good for age it was created and cinematics are frequent. This aspect combined with the effort put into the plot and storyline make this game one if not the best game I have ever played. The difficulty settings of this game allow for a challenge no matter how talented a player becomes. This allows the intricate combinations of spells and melee/ranged weapons to be both fun and necessary.
Design
This game is one of the most innovative games because of the limitless possibility of the genre, along with the enormous effort put into its creation. The only game that dampers this innovation is it's prequel. The game never fails to challenge, as long as the player attempts to play through the game with more than a leisurely pace, especially with the expansion pack. The conflict between the nemesis and main character is augmented by excellent writing and enemies that inspire loathing. Levels are in abundance and each one contains more than can be found after many play throughs. The reward for beating this game is as to be expected of a game that takes months to play with never a dull moment, except maybe the first level.
