Don't fear the haters.

Long time fan of Gate and similar games (Icewind Dale, Torment). I was skeptical of this expac at first, especially with all the initial negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised when I finally pulled the trigger. First, the opening movie and music is perfect. The story is as good as any the series has produced with the exception of Torment and Shadows of Amn. From the very start I was geeking out and ready to adventure! The user interface is smoother and more user friendly than it's ever been. The new NPC's are rich in character and fun to play. The NPC banter is also much improved and more organic. The old NPCs are handled well, with everyone coming back to do the voices except Jaheria. Some minor (but good) changes to spells. The game can sometimes railroad you, but it's no worse than Throne of Bhall (and in my opinion, better). There are still lots of meaningful choices and decisions you make have a lasting effect. Even the random encounters aren't really random, but are interesting and even offer real choices! (Do I help the dragon or the giants, for example.) I felt the story was very good, had unexpected turns, and was a story tied to the lore of the Realms, which is awesome. The ending (the actual end of the game) was as good as I think it could have been considering they were making a prequel to BG2 (and fitting a prequel into the continuity is harder than it looks, just ask George Lucas.) Well worth the price. I am not disappointed.

Pretty good!

Gameplay: If you've played the Baldur's Gate games you pretty much know what to expect - this is the same AD&D 2e system. On the open-endedness vs. linear spectrum, Siege of Dragonspear sits somewhere between Shadow of Amn and Throne of Bhaal: There are fewer choices for movement on the world map than Shadow of Amn, but there are more optional dungeons and subquests within those areas than Throne of Bhaal. Some of the scripted battles are a bit of a slog and there are some weird spikes in difficulty and some fights that are less difficult than you'd expect, but overall it's what you can expect from a Baldur's Gate game. Graphics: Beamdog did an excellent job here, in my opinion. The background graphics are true to the original style of the series, just sharper and more colorful. This is most obvious in the prologue dungeon, and then the differences just sort of fade into the background (as it should, as far as I'm concerned.) A+, they were really walking a fine line here, and they got the job done. Story: Interesting take on the events between BG1 and BG2, but the grandness of it kind of diminishes the events of Shadow of Amn. The fan service / nostalgia pandering with bringing many of the original voice actors back is actually done in a mostly tasteful and unobtrusive way, and the one old character central to this story makes pretty good narrative sense. Overall, pretty good!

Nice change of pace

SoD won't blow your mind but it is a nice change of pace. The tone of the story is a bit different compared to the original games but it does the job and doesn't overstay its welcome. The quests, combat encounters, and unique items are fun and interesting. It is cool to see what can still be done with a game that is this old. Don't let the boorish outrage about a very minor character who happens to be trans in a game that has had a Girdle of Masculinity/Feminity since 1998 cheat you out of a good gaming experience.

Enjoyable addition to the series

Perfect refresher if you want to replay your Baldur's Gate story yet again and just want something more. Lot's of modernized game design elements that don't clash with the spirit but add the "epicness" to it (like huge battles, populated cities, etc.) Also the backgrounds look great. Wish Beamdog did whole series "remaster" with high fidelity backgrounds. Quite lenghty for an expansion (much longer than Sword of the Coast at least).

No Imoen - no party

The exclusion of your Bhaalspawn sister is enough for me not to buy this game. Add to that Beamdog's horrible track record of incompetence (losing the rights to sell their own game for some time!) and scamming (buyers of the physical edition do not receive patches! let that go through your head for a moment!!!), the lackluster quality of the enhanced editions (amount of added content is a joke) and the SJW controversy (which I am luckily not familiar with in detail) and you got one of the biggest failures in video game history, before even STARTING the game. I would've still bought it eventually, but when I read on the forum that Imoen wasn't included (WTF) I permanently gave up on that plan. Shame cause I was looking forward to visiting Boareskyr Bridge with her, the place where Bhaal died... I never even watched a let's play of this game. It's better to pretend it doesn't exist (and it doesn't look like somebody is willing to make an Imoen inclusion mod for it either. I guess the saga of Baldur's Gate finally has come to an end now with this conceptual disasterpiece, which is an eternal shame. Beamdog you suck!
