Now, I don't use mods on EE, so if you rely on them, check other reviews. Also this is well after patches, and *most* of the bugs seem to be fixed. It's not bad, but the linearity doesn't fit the Baldur's Gate series. Also there's so many NPCs that it's difficult to get around on some maps, which doubles down with the bug where PCs can stack on each other and get stuck - a bug that made it to BG2 EE somewhere along the line. Expect ToB-style huge packs of monsters, and for far too many things to heavily resist missile weapons or magic. Many battles are wars of attrition that just drag on. Suitable for big story points, not for as often as it happened. Getting (most of) the voice actors together again was a big plus at least. It's more verbose than it needs to be, but it's still one of the high points. Unfortunately some characters just act differently (Safana especially, but veterans of the series will notice the others being a little off). Giving a good-aligned answer got me into a battle, then I get remarks about slaughtering people like it was an option to not, which needless to say is annoying. After going through the early chapters a couple times with characters, I eventually just turned on story mode and burned through it to see the ending. It's hamfisted and only touches on the attempt to tie the series together. It's one of those products that would've been better received if it wasn't tied to a name that people expected better of. As it is, wait for a very good sale if you want it. Completionists can add it just to have it, or treat it like a DLC for more importable BG2 items. If neither of those options interest you, you can do without it and not miss anything of the overall story.
