Fantastic story. balanced play.

This is DLC content expansion for Baldur's Gate Enhanced edition and well worth the price. and the download The story starts right after the defeat of the wizard Sarevok. I used a new character to get started and was surprised that, from the beginning of the storyline, you are faced with a variety of monsters, traps and lore. Minsc, Khalid, Jaheira and Imoen are back as characters and their addition really makes the game fun. Because of the many traps, it is helpful to have a thief character (Sefana in this case) close to the front of the party because you'll want to send someone to scout the unexplored rooms and locate traps and disarm them. Most rooms contain undead, skeletons and wisps. If you experience a flashing screen, you may want to reduce the screen resolution on your PC and everything else should go great.

Just awful

Beamdog has managed to destroy one of the greatest RPGs ever made with their "improvements" and failed attempt to "rebalance" the Baldur's Gate Saga. My advice is buy the originals and use the fan made mods- they are much better than anything Beamdog is capable of.

These reviews are maddening

Hello, could we possibly have a review from someone who is not OUTRAGED about the developers' SJW AGENDA and the lack of RESPECT shown to a legendary series by introducing POLITICS into it? Is there anyone who is absolutely not threatened by trans people, but just thinks there is no place for them in the Forgotten Realms because their very existence is apparently politicized? For people who don't care about the average gamer's neanderthal politics and their constant threats to RISE UP, is the game good or is it not good?

Fair DLC, but not great

As a fan Baldur's Gate, I was really looking forward to play this new DLC which extends the saga with a new story and explain what happened between BG1 and Bg2. It didn't expect anything great, the studio was different, some time passed since ToB, etc. The DLC is fair, new story, locations, equipment, characters and more. It was interesting to meet with some NPC that had a role in the main plot and beyond5that. Good. The weakest point of this DLC is the story - I don't complain about the linearity, it's OK for me, but I complain about the end... it was something I really didn't expect as a hero of Baldur's Gate. I think that it should have been done better. Because the story is why I love (and still play) Baldur's Gate.

Worse than BGEE and BG2EE but not hrrble

Game is okay. Both sides are exaggerating as usual. Game was pretty buggy but most of it has been cleaned up. There is a SJW agenda evident in many parts of the game not just in one trans character. It is sometimes subtle, sometimes not, but it pervades almost the entire game. It was a mildly annoying feature that became increasingly annoying through sheer repetition beating one over the head. The gameplay was fine there were some fun battles and interesting places to discover but with very little experience gained and loot that does not carry over to bg2 the only reason to play this for me would be for a good story. With the agenda of the game making the story mildly annoying throughout, I have no desire to play this again. I was so excited for this, but was let down. I won't be purchasing from Beamdog again unless the quality improves and the agenda is at least toned down. Good first step is the SJW writers and fem freq backers have left the company, I'm not sure whether that means a change in direction though. They promised to actually expand the trans character's role in the game but that hasn't happened yet as far as i know. I will certainly wait until i see many reviews before i decide whether to buy anything in the future, b/c the hype from the company and their forums is heavily biased towards the company and the agenda.
