So, I finally finished the game! It was a great adventure! I am positively surprised that I could do a quicksave during the last fight, since I had to repeat it several times.

First I would like to mention the good things. Graphics is great, the story is well thought out, you have many options to choose from, eventhough sometimes the options are a bit too different from each other, but some people may see it as a good thing.
The environment design is beautiful, the battles are getting more epic as you progress through the game and the game is not easy on the easiest difficulty, which I chose, because I felt overwhelmed at first, since this is my first Baldur's Gate game to play. And of course I can't forget character creation, which is awesome.
I didn't romance a lot of characters, because I skipped a lot of the dialogues, but the romantic scenes are satisfying. And I could probably say a lot more positive things, which are mentioned in other reviews.

There are also some negatives, which are hard to ignore, especially in Act 3.
Sometimes when I go with my party through a street that has people in it, 3 of my characters sometimes just stop and I am only able to control my leading character. And it takes quite a lot of time for them to get unstuck, sometimes I have to load a save, when I am out of patience. I would expect a game with so many positive reviews and good ratings to not have this problem.
Sometimes when I jump somewhere with my leading character, the other characters dont jump with me or they jump when I jump back and then they jump back and so on. This fortunately does not happen as often as 3 party members getting stuck in a crowded street. Sometimes the street isn't even crowded and they stop anyway.
What really disappointed me is quest management. Yes, the quests page is simple, but there is no option to track a quest and all the quest markers are displayed on the map and it can be confusing to know where to go.
Some people complain about inventory management, but so far I had no problems using it.

Overall, the game is very good, there are so many things that are done right, that it is not hard to overlook the problems. I might add some stuff later after more playthroughs, since I would like to get all the achievements in the game.
