Liked it.

Keep in mid: I played this expansion many months after it's realease. I heard vaguely that there were a lot of problems with bugs, and I know for certain some of the writing was simply cut out in later updates. I think the Baldur's gate games are really good. Not perfect, I don't adore them, and I didn't grew up with them, but I had fun playing them. Never touched multiplayer or mods in BG so I can't say anything about that either. I liked this expansion, though I doubt I'll ever need to play it again, I enjoyed this story and finished it MOSTLY satisfied. There were some issues with the main plot, but they were few and didn't stop me from enjoying the game. Most of the problems I had with this game could in broader terms apply to the whole franchise, and since I was able to ignore them in BG 1 and 2, I had no problem doing the same here. At some point early in the game I had spared an enemy only to kill him by accident with an arrow that was already in the air when the conversation started. This is what I had most technical complaints about. No crashes, not one. No DIRECT bugs, but this weird in between situation that can best be described as "ill-planned". A few times the game engime let me do things that the writing didn't take into account, such as attacking an enemy rather than talking to them. Luckily the game just keeps pretending as if you did everything the right way, and it's not TOO big of a deal, but I'd still consider it a downside. I enjoyed the new music track, one or two of the more memorable locations, I enjoyed some of the voice acting and can't think of a moment any of the rest stood out as bad (though I didn't talk to many of the returning characters), all the new portraits were good too. I had no problems with the writing, and knowing from the sequels how the game HAD to end, I was still pleasantly surprised quite a few times by what happened in between. Overall I feel satisfied, and that both my money and time was spent well here.

Surprised at how much I enjoyed this!

I ended up liking this expansion way more than I thought I would. I thought that Beamdog did a fantastic job making the game feel much more like a modern RPG than the original Baldur's Gate while still keeping the overall feel & spirit. I really liked what they did with the Enhanced Edition and Dragonspear was a fantastic continuation. Something about the way that the game played felt a lot more modern even though the mechanics were mostly the same. I did like though how they kept a lot of the updates for the expansion itself instead of trying to fit some of it into the main game because some of them, like way more NPCs in the populated areas would have felt off in the primary game. Dragonspear felt like a proper sequel of sorts to me instead of just an expansion. I got some Dragon Age Origins vibes from the way that the game sent you to different areas, had a main camp, kept all the possible party members close together (instead of spread out all over the game world like in the main game), and had a more directed flow. Granted it was a big change from the very open exploration of the original BG to the extremely linear progression of the expansion's story (with the exception of a few smaller optional areas) but it felt comfortable and easy to stick with. Also, some of the backgrounds really looked like a step up from the main game with way more detail. The storytelling was really good, I greatly enjoyed the overall story with the exception of a few bad voice actors (Belt sounded like he was just reading lines). The immediate progression from BG1 to EE was handled well and the characters had way more interactions and discussions. It took me almost 20 years to finally play though and finish BG (with the Enhanced Edition and Dragonspear) and I think the EE really helped. I might actually want to try again with a different character/party. It was nice to see a good story made to fit between BG1 and BG2 to fill in some of the gaps. Now on to BG2 EE!

Halfbaked but with a descent storyline

All in all the game was a positive experience but a woefully unfinished one. Im going to start this review with two fuck yous as I usually do to get the negative stuff out of the way. 1st: Fuck you Beamdog for releasing a game thats only half finished, hardly playtested crashes like wreckingball with homesickness, has a shitload of unfinnished scripting and a locked away graphics menu. This is a 15 year old graphics engine we're talkning about, it's not rockedscience, and I dont pay you full price for an expansion to be your bloody betatesters, 2nd: To all you whining fucking asshat who cry out in outrage over the "social issues" It's ONE FUCKING NPC with all in all 9 lines of dialouge in the entire fucking game! If you cant handle that there are litterally four sentencenes in one game that doesnt meet your approval and therefore the whole game is shit hijacked by social justice warriors you are dumber than rocks. It's not that the game panders to social justice warriors, it's you whiny bichtes who cant handle that 0.00001% of a games doesnt pander to YOUR view of what a game should be. Jesus tittyfucking christ you are an embarassment to mankind! And there by the way there are litterally a shitload of jokes that breaks the fourth wall in both BG games, read the tombstones dickheads! That said, the story was fittingly epic and it's great to finally have an interlude to the whole waking up in a dungeon with NPC's you didnt neccessarily travel with in BG 1. Using Skie Silvershield to facilitate this was on the other hand... quiet possibly the worst idea ever. Imoen wasnt a part of the game and it's a character everyone whos ever played BG has got a relation to and is therefore a lot better. Plus it would have been a way more plausible excuse to keep her out of the game. Why the fuck would you do that by the way? It makes litterally no dramaturgic sense at all.

Storm in a teacup

I can't help feeling a lot of these one-star reviews are shall we say 'political' in nature. Picked this up a couple of years ago reluctantly after all the bad reviews and am glad I did so. The bugs past reviewers have mentioned never materialized for me (maybe its been patched a lot since it came out). Also with all the cries of SJ and 'progressiveness' I was really expecting to be be beaten over the head with a lot of social issues. Instead, I believe I remember one line maybe two where someone tells you there trans. That's it. Really. To the best of my knowledge it never comes up again (again maybe this has been 'fixed' with later updates) . I think you might be able to dig deeper if you want to. The game itself is very enjoyable, the writing plugged me right back in with all the characters I loved from over a decade ago. The story is nicely paced and in my eyes sets up nicely for BG2. When I play through the series again I'll be sure to include it with Sword Coast and Throne of Bhal as an essential add-on. A number of people have complained about the graphics, but again I feel it was the right amount of update/keeping the same feel of the original games. In a nutshell, if you love BG don't let a vocal minorities hurt feelings stop you from enjoying another great adventure.
