So it's more overrated because more people like it? Not sure I agree with that logic.
Greater fanbase gives a greater potential for overrating (which isnt a matter of absolute quality but rather about the relationship between reputation/rating and quality). It's simple mathematics, more fans correlate with more fanboys (who pretty much overrate things by definition). Something that everyone thinks is shit is on the other hand not overrated unless it is worse than shit.
Not that BG2 (which certainly is among the top 5-10 RPGs ever made) suffers particularly bad from overrating compared to Oblivion or Mass Effect 2 (to name two highly competent productions with really glaring flaws that probably have way bigger fanbases than BG2) …
