    Let's see, you have the soon-to-be-dead god of murder who sows a crapton of his seed all over a continent to be the fuel for his rebirth after he dies? I think that's pretty plotworthy.

    And then you as the protagonist is cast as one of these children who has to constantly deal with the immortal sliver of your soul which yearns for murderous bloodlust?

    And then there's the fact that when you finally get through to the end of the expansion of the 2nd game, you really do get to make a choice that would have a profound effect on the multiverse.

    Actually, I should ask : Did you ever play Throne of Bhaal, the expansion to the 2nd game? I found the narritive and the antagonists in that game to be quite original and thought provoking.
    I used to be conceited, but now I'm absolutely perfect.

    I've always thought a direct adaptation of the Choose Your Own Adventure books could be awesome if done properly. Or ridiculously painful and frustrating.

    Hopefully only good can come from this; I lost most of my faith in game storytelling after MGS4.
