Beamdog blew it

The good (mostly): * Can build full party from game start. No more juggling reputation or starting with points spent on less-than-ideal combat skills - you can have your ideal lineup ready to rock. * A few nice UI upgrades including toggle mode for sidebar buttons. * Zoom levels expanded considerably. * Toggle for always-on info mode (i.e. TAB button). * Easier to see characters and creatures. * Gameplay configuration is improved with options that don't increase enemy damage done at higher difficulty levels, much finder control over auto-pausing and options like "don't switch to melee after depleting a single ammo stack". (Funny thing is, I never had this happen..they would go melee only after they had exhausted a single ammo *type* from the ammo cache). The bad: * Building full party takes away significantly from the game experience. Why bother with Minsc and his badgering about saving his partner when you can roll a character whose just as good? You'll miss all the NPC quests unless you're able to recruit them just long enough to accept the quest, and even then you might not be able to redeem them without doing it a second time. I didn't actually test this but whether it works or not it feels kind of cheap. Also, your home-rolled PCs will come with minimal gear..you'll need to buy nearly everything for them. * UI aesthetic seem out of place somehow. It feels more like Neverwinter than Baldur's Gate. Black and white is a step backwards IMO. * Somehow the more distinctive sprites and whatnot feels..wrong. Almost like cheating. Fortunately you can disable most of that. * Keymapping is completely broken. There's no way they couldn't have known this before release. And that's where I gave up. Plenty of others have described the poor writing and Casey Hudson-esque pushing of an extremist agenda..I didn't even get that far because a fundamental game function is BROKEN. Apparently, Beamdog now wants to copy the "new" Bioware in every way.

Quality Expansion.

This is a great expansion. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. And yes, having a single NPC that is trans is a nice addition. Ignore the haters; if something that small offends you, you should reevalate your life.

Excellent job by Beamdog

I never played Baldur's Gate at all before, and I played the base game (with tales of the sword coast), the Black Pits and Siege of Dragonspear all at once. Siege of Dragonspear felt well integrated in the whole and was better on certain points: new assets looked better and there is a lot more voice acting. The plot was more linear than in the base game, but there is a good amount of side quests as well. I bet most people saying it is trash compared to the base game speak with the nostalgy goggles. The number of characters at once in a screen (fighting or not) was greatly enhanced, making the game more enjoyable, as one can feel more submerged by the crowds. Many people mention bugs or crash, but I did not crash once during Siege of Dragonspear, so the game feels pretty stable to me. Maybe this was not the case when it got release though. The story is excellent, and I liked there were a lot more gray areas than in the base game. Finally, a lot of people keep mentionning a political agenda that Beamdog put in the extension. I think they review bombed the game and most of them never played the game. I tried to find where the dev put his political view in there, and I could not. A lot of people speak of a trans character, but it is so minor I did not even notice while playing the game, so I assume most people mentioning this heard about it outside of the game. And what the **** is wrong with people for review bombing a game for 15 seconds out of 20 hours ! The game is not even close to force feeding this character to you ! Good job by Beamdog, nothing less.

A Mediocre Tale for a Legendary Legacy

I wanted to type a long review for this. I wanted to go on in detail why this is a disappointment. I wanted to expound about how unnecessary this is to be. But, then I realised, 'Siege of Dragonspear' does not deserve that credit of critique for the effort that had been placed to produce this final product. You see - tl;dr: 'Siege of Dragonspear' is a messy, glitchy, paradoxical and pretentious expansion that broke the base game on release and, up till now, has game breaking bugs despite constant attempts of fixes, in which the director had to make a public statement and apology to address along with its weak narrative in plot. I was really looking forward to this expansion, considering the fact that legend Trent Oster was directing its upbringing, but, alas, it is garbage in comparison Baldur's Gate 1 and it is mediocre to everything else - especially the plot that shies away from the realities and the cruelties of this world while having utterly cliche stereotypes, and the gameplay that does nothing more to expand what was already had while breaking the functionality of many modders' efforts. While - I will admit - there are a few scenes that are of unpolished gems of nostalgia in this expansion, It Does Not Fix The Expansion. What's done is done, and, all I can say is that I am going to raise extreme caution for Baldur's Gate 3. *This Review is based on my Steam copy.*
