I've heard some things about this game, but i haven't seen the gameplay nor do i really know much about it. Is the gameplay similar to BG or BG2? Is it really any good? And what are the system requirements and recommended systems.

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

I cannot say anything on modding really (I tried it once, and I don't know the engine as much). It is the least covered of all engines as far as complete mods go, and the engine is quite unique. Only the Planescape: Vengeance Total Conversion knows a great deal on the engine.

As for gameplay, let me add to that. I have despised the first 5 hours the game, since it is quite nasty, however as the story progresses the game gets better and better.

It was wrong of me to judge the game after that much gameplay, and that is why the game didn't sell as much as the Epic Hack n' Slash™ ToB did (the first few hours don't absorb you as much as the rest of the time).

I haven't played it quite through yet, since I hadn't had the chance to (I'd rather devote my time for modding than playing these past few years).

A mod that extra-planarizes ToB with a story at least half as decent as Torment (on an epic scale, but not munchkin scale) would be an excellent mod indeed.
