Well made optional add on

Of course Siege of Dragonspear struggles with the fact that mechanically the start of BG2 did neither intend nor need an add on between both games. Thus from a purely mechanical point of view you "only" get some more XP and some more items to import into BG2. However, albeit being sceptical because of the many bad reviews, I found the add on to be well done and resembling what made BG1 and 2 great in many instances. I liked the available followers (well one was annoying but I just ignored him), the locations were very interesting and had lots of variety. There are also intense fights against strong enemies. The quests were ok (not amazing but enjoyable) and I liked the story. In my opinion most of the things fit nicely into the BG trilogy and the Forgotten Realms lore. This add on just offers more of the same, and if you like isometrical CRPGs you will have a good time.

Received a refund

Thankfully received a refund. Dumbed down difficulty New NPCs are not necessary and poorly written Lack of challenge Forced linear gameplay where the options you take have no impact on the game Quite a few bugs resulting in quests that cannot be completed and crashes The "siege" is basically a spam fest where you almost have no control of what is going on as there are so many NPCs on the screen. The game engine was simply not designed for large scale battles.

Surprisingly good!

I can't help the impression that most people who hate SoD this haven't really gone through the whole game. I do admit that the beginning is rather unenlightening and the episode in the city of Baldur's Gate was outright boring to me and felt weird but it was short. From the on, the game picks up and gets better as it goes, and by the time I was near the end I had chills on my back. And to be clear, I'm not someone who's new to BG and doesn't care about respect (or lack thereof) paid to the series. I played BG1, SoA and partially ToB when they came out and have a significant emotional connection to the game; it wasn't easy for me to accept even the standard, non-SoD UI of the EE, let alone the completely revamped SoD UI - precisely because of nostalgia, though one could argue the SoD UI is somewhat ugly. Who knows, if I expected SoD to be anywhere near as great as BG2, maybe I'd hate it as well, I don't know, but having read mostly negative reviews I decided to approach SoD as just some stupid silly thing I might play for curiosity, and I was surprised. In a way, it's a step between BG1 and BG2 in that there are many interactions and relationships between NPCs, something that was largely absent in BG1.

Highly recommended

SoD is to BG1 as ToB is to BG2: a short, fun expansion that ties up the story line. While it's much more linear than BG1, the shorter play time and excellent plot balance it out. The new NPCs were the highlight of the experience.

Almost perfect

Playing this for the second time around now and it's amazing to get that proper Baldurs Gate feeling that I grew up with! Good story, really great music (!) and sooo nice with clearer, crisper graphics and a better UI. Looking at this game with the improved graphics it really looks so much better than the original (with the sprite outlines turned off, mark me.) This game is true to the original games' style in the way the characters, dungeons and quests feel, but it's a bit more focused. This focus, while overall making the game better (quests and story line) is also what is stopping me from giving a 6 star review. The one thing I truly missed was the exploration of large areas and cities (like Baldurs Gate and Amn). This leaves the player investigating smaller areas, that though excelent, lack the grandness of the original games. But this game and enjoy it!
