STRONGLY dont recommend - 5 stars, would play again
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.*
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.
The Infinity engine is possibly one of the robust engines that exist - as evidenced by the almost countless mods available for the various games that use it. Yet, more bugs than in most fan-mods.
Socio-politics - They're a can do in games. But not when you are clubbed over the head with it with all the subtlety of a two-by-four with a nail in it. Seriously, a good plot containing people of various genders, alignment and sexual preference can work very well. However the dialog reads closer to a lecture on what you should be thinking regarding gender politics than any actual human interaction. A far cry from the open-ended D&D principle where you could be anything from lawfull good to chaotic evil implemented in the original game and Tales of the sword coast.
Add the two together and it provided more aggravation than pleasure.
