Technical nightmare

My low review score has nothing to do with the writing, characters, or plot. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, I was unable to get past the crippling technical issues currently present in the game. They are truly mind boggling in scope, to the point where I will likely never purchase a Beamdog game again. I believe knowingly selling someone a product that doesn't work is the same as theft, and so Beamdog seem to be crooks in my book. The multiplayer is fundamentally broken - disconnects, crashes, spells that cause crashes, etc. Don't even waste your time with multiplayer right now. Additionally, there is currently a problem with Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition saves disappearing; as of the time of this review, the problem has not been fixed. It seems to be caused by installing Siege of Dragonspear, or perhaps an update. Both my girl friend and I experienced this bug, so now our Baldur's Gate files and characters are completely gone. These guys have really hurt their reputation with this game. The objective side of things like story, characters and writing are open to interpretation but releasing a game in this state is pure shady business and I'm quite frankly tired of it. Beamdog is on my banned list.

Ignore the 1 star reviews.

All of these 1 star reviews at the top are old and outdated. I played the game on release and never had issues crashing. I just recently played it again and had no issues crashing, also a majority of the games mods are functioning now if you're using BWS. I don't understand how people can be complaining about the graphics. If you've played the EE versions of the game, it looks exactly the same. The game itself is great. It has a good story that connects the first and second game. The voice acting is for the most part very good and there is more voice acting in this game than there is in the older ones. The tweaks they did to the engine that allows for tons of units to be on screen is pretty awesome and fun to see in the BG series. I will say that at one point in the game from multiple playthroughs that the engine gets a little laggy and starts to drop frames and yes it's a problem with the engine/game. Outside of the singular instance in the game I did not have any issues. The real criticism that this game DESERVES to have is quest design. The original games did a great job of making quest progression and side quests seem like a random part of the world or had some mystique to it. The quests in SOD feel very forced and mechanical. There is no real world exploration and the game does not allow you to immerse yourself on your own volition. Each area has a quest hub, you grab all the quests, do the quests, then proceed to the next area. It is very linear in this sense. The quests are still great have substance, it's just primarily the design on how you get the quests that is very breaking of the immersion of the world. The game would have gotten 5 starts from me if the quest design was implemented more fluidly and allowed for more world exploration. There is no reason why this game deserves less than 2 stars like so many of the reviews on this website show. It is a great addition to the series.

Better than it has any right to be

Releasing a sequel (or midquel I guess) 15 years after the original release of two of the most revered CRPGs of all time is a daunting task, to say the least. And to be completely honest, Beamdog does not nail it. SoD does not reach the heights of BG1 or BG2. But it does succeed in providing an entertaining 2nd edition DnD campaign very much in line with its predecessors, and that is worth plenty of praise. The game industry has moved away from much of what made the original BG games great, and yet SoD is determined to stay as true as possible to Bioware's debut on the scene. It is impressive how well the expansion manages to bridge the gap between the original games. I was originally a bit skeptical of some of the more fanservicey decisions but given the ambition to tie the classics together, I find the inclusions reasonable. The one point where SoD does falter is how it limits the player. The originals were more liberal with player choice and, unfortunately, SoD does not quite reach those heights. The writing is solid. It is different from what came before, but not so different as to feel like alien. The humour is in a slightly different tone, but breaking the 4th wall or lampshading the absurdity of DnD was always a part of the charm with BG. SoD is not as elegant as the classics, however. It's biggest flaw is that is to self-referential and aware of the series importance. Such problems may be unavoidable given how much later SoD was developed than the originals, but it can still be disappointing at times. The best example is probably Minsc, by far the most popular of the original characters. The Rashemi ranger is stuck between being written as he would have been 15 years ago and as someone aware of what made him popular 15 years later. Overall, I'd rate it above Throne of Bhaal but behind the rest. I give it a 5/5 simply because it nails the most important aspects of a new BG adventure. It is not perfect, but it is better than it has any right to be.

Fantastic story. balanced play.

This is DLC content expansion for Baldur's Gate Enhanced edition and well worth the price. and the download The story starts right after the defeat of the wizard Sarevok. I used a new character to get started and was surprised that, from the beginning of the storyline, you are faced with a variety of monsters, traps and lore. Minsc, Khalid, Jaheira and Imoen are back as characters and their addition really makes the game fun. Because of the many traps, it is helpful to have a thief character (Sefana in this case) close to the front of the party because you'll want to send someone to scout the unexplored rooms and locate traps and disarm them. Most rooms contain undead, skeletons and wisps. If you experience a flashing screen, you may want to reduce the screen resolution on your PC and everything else should go great.

Just awful

Beamdog has managed to destroy one of the greatest RPGs ever made with their "improvements" and failed attempt to "rebalance" the Baldur's Gate Saga. My advice is buy the originals and use the fan made mods- they are much better than anything Beamdog is capable of.
