haven't experienced any bugs myself, and my play-though has been smooth. Some people have meet bugs but few truly game-breaking ones I've seen, compared to some AAA games. This is no different, and for those that are getting bugs the reports I've read suggest most aren't experiencing game-breaking ones. And a patch is incoming. Mod are compatible in the majority of causes (have the people claiming this played this game at all?) and the modders are quickly dealing with any remaining problems. The UI is too dark for my tastes but otherwise I love the new changes and features, fully upgraded UI with nice extra features. Companions generally great so far, the continuing characters are true to their characterization (Safana as not be hijacked, she remains Safana but given more depth, same with Jaheira), lots of interaction, and making them interactive was very nice touch. Their dialogue and interaction is consistent and fine, with some quite well done. Companions were generally well done, on a par for the most part with the main games and much better than previous EE work, with more interaction and voicing, I'm really enjoying them. The maps lovely and atmosphere is good, the story seems fine and very BG to me, I've enjoyed the main quest, and sides range from a few okay, fine to some really good with surprising twists. The writing in fine to good. Came across 'controversial' minor npc who apparently jumps you with their transness and missed it completely, only realised afterwards, You have to really ask about their name, then press further to get anything. This was it, much ado about nothing I thought. Minsc line was ill-judged perhaps but one line, but this drama and review bombing is crazy (GGs are as mad as SJWs, just the same now) and has been removed. I swear self-offended drama is the problem with gaming these days. I wish both GGs/SJWs took their culture war elsewhere, I'm so sick of it/them. A solid addition to BG, I'm really having a blast.
