Gamers Gate Downvote Brigade
This is a good continuation of the BG revamping, a much better expansion than Tales of the Sword coast. Ignore the bad reviews just Gamer's Gate being super "ethical" (there is a trans character, you see, and an innocent joke about Gamer's gate, so naturally they have to throw a hysterical fit about it. Ethics in games journalism remember!

A worthy addition to the BG stable
If we can put aside the pointless Internet culture wars for one moment (I am amused by the obviously orchestrated comments below), this is not a bad game by any means. The updated Infinity Engine really shines here; you will be fighting some fairly epic scale battles - dozens of opponents, not just a handful. Some of the mechanisms in game are archaic, as befits 2nd edition AD&D, but if you know your THAC0 from your Saving Throws you'll do just fine. And the game is hard. BG fans will know what to expect. And Minsc and Dynaheir are back (but Branwen isn't...boo). The writing varies from adequate to fine. It's not a masterpiece, but it's fun. Recommended.

Enjoying it so far!
I'm so excited to play a new expansion of Baldur's Gate. It is running beautifully on my not-very-current laptop, I'm enjoying the new characters, and laughing at dialogue (which is a must!). Battles have been a bit easy so far, but there are plenty of difficulty settings to choose from. Thank you so much to everyone who loved Baldur's Gate enough to put effort into an expansion!

just another vessel for SJW propaganda
Amber Scott, the writer of this game, says that the original Baldur's Gate is sexist. Captain Corwin, a major NPC, is a single bisexual mother whose daughter calls you out for mansplaining to her. There is a transgender NPC. Etc etc If that's your sort of thing, then this review should be useless to you. But for people like me who don't want to financially or morally support the ever more omnipresent liberal lunacy injected in all forms of art, perhaps you should skip this.

Makes straight white cis men mad.
The new expansion makes straight white cis male bigots so angry that they feel compelled to spew filth across the internet. I couldn't ask for more in a game!
