This expansion sometimes feels more like an Icewind Dale expension than a BG one. It plays more like Throne of Bhaal in that the freedom to explore is more limited. That said this is a great addition to the series and right from the first dungeon you can see that a lot of love has been put into this game. Sure, the social and political issues are there, but they do not hinder gameplay. New NPC's are great and I would love to see Corwin and the Gnome Thief/Cleric available in BG2 The villain seems a bit weak compared to the other characters; I feel that she could have been fleshed out more. If you are a fan of Baldur's Gate, this is a safe purchase that gives hours of fun.
Whilst incredipede is a nice looking puzzler, there are just so many better ones on the market to choose from. I wouldn't waste your money on this.
