Great game in the style of BG1/2

After reading all the negative reviews I hesitated quite a bit before buying this. However it turns out this is not the pile of garbage some people pretend it to be. I played BG1/2 back in 1998 and over the year went through it maybe three of four times. Dragonspear adds a bunch of refreshing new content between the two games. It is not easy to bridge the story perfectly as BG2 has to start with the good canon party, no matter what happened in BG1, or what you choose in Dragonspear. Overall it did a good enough job. The story is written well and I really don't understand the hate which some of the new characters got. I rarely, if at all encountered them anyways. Played with Dorn and Baeloth and they are both in the style of other classic BG characters. The game is overall a bit more linear than BG1 and smaller than BG2. The maps are smaller and denser which works well. Some of the BG1 maps are a bit too big and empty. Pretty much everything else is like BG1 and BG2, and as I like those games there is not much to complain about. Now I can play from Nashkel all the way to the throne of Ball a continuous giant 200 something hour great fantasy opus!

Poor writing makes for nonsensical story

Baldur's Gate was noteworthy for its open world, for its brilliant writing, and for its strict adherence to the spirit of the Forgotten Realms setting. This abomination lacks all of those things: -You're shoehorned into a ridiculous quest that makes no sense at all. Whether you're playing as a good character or an evil one, the story gives you very little incentive to proceed with your quest. The writers probably think that this is "nuanced", but I think that it's just really sloppy storytelling. At all times, I felt apathetic about the main quest -- and utterly ambivalent towards "The Shining Lady", which I certainly can't say about Sarevok, Irenicus, and Mellisandre! -As far as I can tell, there's absolutely no open world to explore -- just sequential map segments that are extremely frustrating and annoying, as Beamdog implemented some monster-spawning "feature" that leads to swarms of low-level monsters attacking your party at random intervals. -The writers force SJW nonsense into the game, with a "transexual" character, Minsc making fun of Gamergate, a refugee crisis, and so forth. Terrible. There may have been good ways to write these issues into the story, but they were not implemented. Instead, we're faced with ham-fisted propaganda. Just abysmal.

BG I +

new snakes, new QoL improvements, new magic items tied to quests, new powerful class, not so strong story, but it's probably passable - five stars worthy sequel to BG I, only did i mention the story is not completely great but nevermind *get it on sale*

It will mess up your interface

This DLC actually makes the base game worse before you even get to the new content. Once installed, Siege of Dragonspear will change BG:EE's interface to a new, dark-themed version. Unfortunately, the new interface has difficulty scaling things properly and it messes up the positioning of numbers such as amount of gold, hit points, THAC0 etc (at least for me; running Linux at 1920x1200). And of course there is no obvious way to say "no, thanks, give me my old interface back." Ugh. I'm giving 2 stars because I might end up liking the actual campaign yet...

HEED THE WARNINGS. This is trash fanfic

TL;DR: This is game is to Baldur's Gate what the show "Ring of Power" is to "Lord of the Rings" books. Long Review: The writing is absolute trash. You're basically on an on rails quest with the illusion of choice. It's like if you get to choose between three doors that all lead to one door and a hallway. It will also ruin your memories of the old games. Imoen is basically Neera, which means now she's not unique and just as annoying. She also doesn't have her spunky spoiled behavior like bg1 or her jaded attitude in bg2. now she's like some ultra caring person who doesn't match her origins. Worse yet, they ruined Viconia. She was always an evil 🐩, but she had charm and I loved pretending to have a romance between her and my child of bhaal. Now she's just straight out unpleasant. Nothing redeeming like in BG2, or even the limited dialogue of bg1. I mean I usually play as female, being one in real life. But i wore that girdle of gender change just for her. Now after seeing her in dragonspear I dropped her like a hot rock. Also she and some of the others have to speak every other second. The problem is they say the same thing multiple in a row. as for the story, it's unbearably forced. I have no real connection as to why I want to do anything. O and it recycles a character from BG2 in a very "ugh, really?" contrived manner. It's like ok Mysterious hooded guy who also speaks to my enemy and I can't attack. I can see your plan, but like I gotta play along. as far as the "woke" stuff, I'm part of the LGBT community and cringed a couple of times, but it's largely easy to miss. The game is just boring. I will give credit where credit is do. I commend them for the voice acting and being able to make a game with software this old. Finally, this will also change your BG1 UI to an ugly blackrock texture that looks like it was made in MS PAINT.
