This game is just... ..."eh".

I must say I first played this expansion LONG after the discussions about it were all over the place. I am a fan of the Baldur's Gate games so I had a reasonable interest in this game. The fact that it was supposed to bridge both BGs was kinda weird but I still wanted to know how it would play out. More importantly, I played this right after completing BG1EE, using the same character. So this is more or less a "complete" BGEE experience, although it lacks the perspective of the changes introduced by more recent & critical patches. I gotta say this is kinda OK overall. It reminds me more of IWD than BG, with is OK too. IWD had this thing where the best part of the games were tucked away in some dank dungeon,waiting for you to find them, and Siege has a bit of this which was very welcome (especially a dragon fight agains arguably unprepared adventurers). In fact, I'd say the parts that are "outside" of Siege's main plot are the most interesting ones, because oh boy is the plot of this game so effing dull. The edge of having an aasimar playign evil + the confrontation of two godspawn feels wasted in the pens of Beamdog's writers. And it's not for lack of space, since the game is still reasonably long, although obviously nowhere near aslong as BG1 or 2, but it still had enough room to give us something more than just "go fight mean woman". Companions are dull. VERY dull. Corwin is as interesting as a piece of soggy white bread. The viking bard feels nigh parody material. The gnome is a gnome (he's actually a decent companion, gameplay-wise, mind you). I can't remember the others, actually. The changes to Safana seem parodic too... Like, her voice actress is FORCING it so hard it made me kick her out of the party. And you can ignore MIzhena, but I'd argue that her predicament makes little sense when people can will themselves into doing world-destroying magic. It's a bearable game, nothing too bad, but not too good. Certainly not deserving of all the talk about it tho.

Definitely not worth it

I don't get why several new quests cost more than the game itself.

A Mixed Bag of Fun with Glaring Flaws

Well, I'm not exactly sure to begin... I just finished the game with a heroic fighter, and I had a lot of fun. I only experienced two crashes, which might have just been my computer. *PROS* - Story-Mode is a neat addition. Not a necessary one, but a neat one. - The story itself I felt was engaging. - LOTS of evil answers that aren't practically speaking auto-reloads. This is a step-up from all of the original BGs. - Original voice actors are back! - Makes an "interquel" that left me wanting more (and I hope it will be made). - Interesting new magical class semi-specific equipment that will allow for some metagaming in future replays. - For something that I was worried would feel like a fan-fic, I will eat my words; it was much better than that. - Certainly stable enough; I didn't notice the problems many reviewers have. It sounds like a lot of Pros... so why only two-stars? *CONS* - Including the Black Pit characters makes sense from a design standpoint, but it really does feels forced. Leaving them out would have been far better. - The game feels like it is on rails just like Throne of Bhaal did, albeit slightly wider. - The devs have done an outright horrific job moderating the debate involving "the controversy." The criticism from fans of in-game story decisions by the devs does not automatically make people phobic. (This alone took a star off.) - The ending, while interesting, doesn't factor into BG2 AT ALL. This was the biggest flaw I saw. It sets up your capture at the beginning of BG2, but damn, is it ever forced. Your character never mention the tragic NPC that is the reason, which is a VERY big problem for such a major, major event in this game... an interesting take, but it doesn't fit into the BG2 story. I'm hoping for a BG3 to flesh this out and fix it, but I'm not sure it would account for the total void of discussion about it in BG2. I'm disappointed, but somehow, excited to see if a true sequel materializes. Beamdog worries me, though.

Enough drama, a solid expansion

haven't experienced any bugs myself, and my play-though has been smooth. Some people have meet bugs but few truly game-breaking ones I've seen, compared to some AAA games. This is no different, and for those that are getting bugs the reports I've read suggest most aren't experiencing game-breaking ones. And a patch is incoming. Mod are compatible in the majority of causes (have the people claiming this played this game at all?) and the modders are quickly dealing with any remaining problems. The UI is too dark for my tastes but otherwise I love the new changes and features, fully upgraded UI with nice extra features. Companions generally great so far, the continuing characters are true to their characterization (Safana as not be hijacked, she remains Safana but given more depth, same with Jaheira), lots of interaction, and making them interactive was very nice touch. Their dialogue and interaction is consistent and fine, with some quite well done. Companions were generally well done, on a par for the most part with the main games and much better than previous EE work, with more interaction and voicing, I'm really enjoying them. The maps lovely and atmosphere is good, the story seems fine and very BG to me, I've enjoyed the main quest, and sides range from a few okay, fine to some really good with surprising twists. The writing in fine to good. Came across 'controversial' minor npc who apparently jumps you with their transness and missed it completely, only realised afterwards, You have to really ask about their name, then press further to get anything. This was it, much ado about nothing I thought. Minsc line was ill-judged perhaps but one line, but this drama and review bombing is crazy (GGs are as mad as SJWs, just the same now) and has been removed. I swear self-offended drama is the problem with gaming these days. I wish both GGs/SJWs took their culture war elsewhere, I'm so sick of it/them. A solid addition to BG, I'm really having a blast.

Decent Interquel with just some lesser issues.

I played this game with the current patch that is out, so my experience will be different compared to others. I actually didn't come across any bugs (that were noticeable) when I first played this, and thoroughly enjoyed my uninterrupted experience. This review doesn't take into account of the controversy due to a certain writer during a very toxic time that was affecting a lot of the Entertainment Industry. I think a lot of these reviews I'm reading on here have clouded the reality concerning the quality of the game itself (aside from the bugs that has since been patched), and only because of that one major issue which I addressed. With that said. The Interquel is a interesting addition to the Baldur's Gate Series, and one filled with many things that is homage to the original game. It sets up a different tone where in the original game it was about exploration and the life of adventurer while trying to solve the mystery in regards to the plot. Here that is stripped away, and much more linear with a sense of urgency considering how the plot evolves into that. Though it works pretty well in many sections, but sometimes the player can easily miss optional content if he/she doesn't look in the right place. Though in a way I enjoy that aspect because that is what exploration should be about, but the game can unexpectedly lock you out of the area when you least expect it. (Fun fact if you use the cheat command to get back into the locked areas, and you'll find small but interesting content you would never normally see; I wonder what the devs had planned)? The final area and boss of this game was a pleasant surprise. There is actually one additional scene at the very end of the game, but requires a mod to turn it back on (the scene is used as a bridge for BG2 and that is all I will say on it). This game didn't really leave a bad taste in my mouth, and I believe the Beamdog Devs did very well despite the toxic circumstances.
