Great BG addition!

I was reluctant to play this game because of the reviews, but I'm glad I decided to give it a try. No longer will I pay attention to the reviews from the peanut gallery! It's a great bridge between BG and BG2. I loved the story and how it unfolded. The combat was traditional BG fun, but often with way higher numbers, which made spells like Fireball extra destructive. I think the side quests should be called out. There were a couple of larger ones that were very good! If you like old skool D&D adventures, for sure you'll enjoy this game. I understand some of the criticism. Yes, this game is more linear than others, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment. The various reviews for this game are unfair and don't follow the proper guidelines. If you liked Baldur's Gate, you'll like this!

Siege of Dragonspear

Wanted this expansion so badly when it first came out that I pre-paid (for the first time in 20 years) when it was still in beta. I really wish I could give it a clear and unbiased report, but this expansion is just plain awful. please, do yourself a favor, save your money and keep the fond memories of this game alive. Its just sad and pathetic what Beamdog did to this franchise. Would give a 1/4 star if I could.

Don't believe the bad reviews

The DLC is a good continuation of the first game. It basically gives more of the same. The quests are good, it also adds some larger battles, and interesting new companions. Also you can transfer some of the new loot to the 2nd game when you import your character.

A properly designed expansion

No real complaints here. Everything from writing to dungeon design is done in the old BG1+2 style. The area art and vistas are especially impressive with a few welcome upgrades to background animations/effects, which I don't remember seeing in the original games. The bestiary is lengthy, you'll be battling everything from dragons and snakes to liches. It's what an expansion to one of the best games ever should be like.

Great game hampered by Poor writing

It's limited in scope adventure which can be pretty enjoyable depending on your expectations. 1. Visuals: Surprisingly fantastic D: Fidelity: It's not at the level of Pillars of Eternity, but this game still performs infinitely better on older systems. Art Design: Some maps look honestly more impressive than what Black Isle produced long ago in Baldur's Gate 2 and that's a high bar. Probably the best looking set of maps in the entire Infinity Engine history. It really helped overall atmosphere and exploration. Character Design: Nothing changed from BG1EE so... 2. Sound: Great, but limited: Music: All tracks are of high quality, imaginative yet still stylishly fateful to original Baldur's Gate. It's quite a feat. Crucial moments are properly underlined, and there is enough room to breathe. The only issue is very limited total amount of tracks which go on repeat too fast. Voice-acting: It's ok, sometimes excellent and fittingly limited. Effects: Same as in the original. Environment: Not much to point out. 3. Gameplay: More of the same with extra challenge A thing worth pointing out is increased amount of enemies in almost every encounter. Entire flow of combat shifts closer to what we saw in Icewind Dale as a result. So more emphasis on AoE spells and less useful single target abilities. Difficulty tuning is also a bit more demanding (especially in first section) which I welcome with open arms. 4. Story: the ugly part 😬 Main Plot: The entire motivation of the whole debacle is questionable. Antagonists goal is forced and the means to achieve it are nonsensical. What's worse certain cartoonishly evil character makes direction of the plot pretty obvious from the start. Side Quest: Few in number, but given how pressing the main plot is supposed to be it's quite fitting. The quality varies between fun and forgettable. Some of those come with dedicated locations and much better stories than the main plot. Writing: It's most often modern, surface level writing popularized by marvel. It lacks understanding of nuance while constantly pretending to be more clever than it actually is. Companions: Safana, Edwin and Viconia act completely out of character. In general evil companions aren't really evil, interesting, fun or faithful to original. Other party members fair slightly better, but they are often written around some quirk rather than personal story. 5. Other: Performance: Still top notch. It runs better than file explorer xD Replayability: There is none. Dialogues often reference what you just said to sell you an illusion of choice. On second playthrough you will sadly see through it. I bet the entire dialogue tree is just a straight line with couple squares on the way. SUMMARY: Despite poor writing I wouldn't call it a waste of time. There is a lot of fun to be had, art and atmosphere to appreciate, monsters to kill, challenges to overcome. If you approach it like an elaborate dungeon run you will have yourself a jolly good time. Frankly if devs involved ever wanted to refresh visuals, sound and gameplay of old-school Baldur's Gate 1&2 I would gladly throw couple bucks their way. But I would never trust writers responsible :x
