I remember the DM tools and custom campaign multiplayer being fantastic, but I don't remember too much of the actual story. What I do remember is hating the restriction of a single follower, as the party banter is one of my favourite things in this type of games.

Yeah, I got it mostly for the campaign, hoping for more Baldur's Gate. It was so disappointing.

The story was uninspired, but most of all solo gameplay was so boring. One character, one NPC companion and you couldn't control them in any way, starting at low level, all of that made your strategic choices practically inexistent.

And then the engine breaking everywhere causing it to rewind your action after 5 seconds because it suddenly remembered "hey, you were not supposed to be able to go there, we've put a bunch of knee-high crates to block that 5 meter wide empty hallway!"

Yeah I had pretty much the same experience. BG2 was my favourite game at the time (it's still up there) so I was incredibly hyped, but it felt flat in comparison.

At least I got enough bang for my buck with the multiplayer stuff.

It was a very linear story, too.
