Great add-on to the best cRGP ever
Playing the Siege was a great pleasure for me. I had to go through the BG1 again and I tough I will be already tired by the end - but no, I was really enjoining going further and further into the campaign of Dragonspear. Game has some minor bugs (i.e. problems with containers, thus minus one star), but overall it is a great BG experience. I've played like 15-20h.

Terrible Fanfic
The quality of the story at a bad fanfic, and I can identify bad fanfic, because I had written them myself. So I do not advise you to play this edition, with impaired graphics, lots of bugs and Baldur Gates brand attached on top. So I probably go back to my heavily modified the original game, in which I can romance gays and lesbians, as well as Imoen.

It's good. Just get it already.
Ignore everyone whining about "political agendas" or whatever else people are complaining about. This game is an excellent addition to the Baldur's Gate line, and anyone who disagrees probably hasn't played vanilla Baldur's Gate recently enough to have the nostalgia goggles removed. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I had my nostalgia goggles on the entire time and I still loved this expansion. They somehow managed to get back original voice actors for some dialogue (ANY recorded dialogue from original actors is a miracle in my opinion), there are battles that are larger in scale than anything we've seen in the original series, and I personally thought the writing was excellent. I had fun just reading some of the more clever dialogue options in many scenarios, and I loved to see both returning characters of the original games as well as Enhanced Edition characters such as Baeloth. I also find the improved usability of the new UI a much appreciated feature. Knowing who an item might benefit in the party by just clicking on it and then being able to instantly see any pertinent stat changes by clicking on it in their inventory is excellent. Even seeing health bars above enemies instead of constantly having to hover over each individual one to see how injured they are is incredibly useful. Honestly, if you aren't looking to inexplicably tear this game down without reason before even going into it, I would be shocked if any true fan of the series, who should be used to several different authors and contributors adding to the story in their own ways, doesn't have fun with this game.

Not even a stand alone...
Buy only if you don't mind ruining your original BG saga experience. Writing is poor, game is buggy and you can't even play it without buying BG:EE. IMHO developers should have used the infinity engine to create an entirely new story from scratch, but unfortunately they proved they don't have what it takes. This game is a trap, fall into nostalgia and lose money...

An excellent expansion from stellar team
It is a shame that this expansion has come to be defined more in terms of the attacks on Beamdog by anti-LBGTQ bigots, rather than it's content. This is an excellent expansion, with an excellent story and I cannot recommend it high enough. Developers like Beamdog give so much to us old-school RPG-fans and they deserve all our support. If you think that the fantasy worlds of games should be closed to some people because of their gender, sexual orientation, or race. Then you are probably one of the trolls giving this expansion a one-star rating and you should be ashamed of yourself. If you think that it is high time that games embraced a greater diversity of people, allowing for more gamers to identify with the worlds and myths we love, then this expansion isn't just a good buy on merit of its excellence. It is an essential buy because it is in support of that vision.
