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.*

The SWTOR of single-player RPGs
Around the time of launching this DLC, they removed the original, non-enhanced versions of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and Icewind Dale 1 from the catalog (now included in the "enhanced" editions). Obviously to boost sales of the "Enhanced" Editions and the Siege of Dragonspear DLC. This is almost as bad as shutting down Star Wars Galaxies when launching SWTOR.
