Sonic was so exciting, I was pumped... No it was bad.
I dunno I just feel that the type of games they create are just meh.
Mass Effect was very good though.

Seems kinda subjective, especially considering Baldur's Gate is usually considered a classic.
I finally got some time to play this last night. I started a rogue with the dalish elf origin...by far one of the most eerie and enjoyable openings of any game I've played. I usually hate the beginning of games because they submerge you in so many tutorials and constantly break the third wall.
Not this game. You are instantly making choices which you -know- will affect something later on. I'm still not sure I made the right choices. It's very cool not having any responses which are obviously "good" or "bad". The responses are much more realistic to what an actual person might think or do in a given situation.
The way the game looks is so odd, though. Sometimes it has moments of breathtaking beauty, and others you're like "man, that's old xbox graphics". I'm not sure what is up with the inconsistency...and it's not even comparing gameplay to cinematics. Some things during gameplay just look better than others.
I also have to say I love the character creation system. The presets are actually really good, and it's not difficult at all to create a character that looks good.
