I am a big BG fan. I played it the first time in 2001 or so and I was conquered. I play the full saga at least one time every year since. And I am deeply sorry but the first expansion of BG I was terrible. It was a poor hack & slash. Munch worst that this extension. First, the graphics: there are Ok. Not good, not bad, just ok. Lack the charm of the original, not hand painted, but still in the same spirit. The interface makes thing easy. Go and install the BG I with the original CD and you'll see how hard it is to go around. Second the writing: quite enjoyable. I am no leftist (quite the contrary) and I don't see anything like a forced SJW social comment. Must be an American thing to see bolshevik everywhere. Third: the story. Hey, its classic D&D stuff. A good little campaign, with some original stuff and a good twist. Four: the price: 24$ it's a bit much but you are on GOG. Just wait for a good time and you'll get it for half the price. Come on, the first BG I expension was the same price 20 years ago and it was merely and hack & slash. In the end, I enjoyed myself. It answered an old question: what happened in between the BG I and BG II. Ok, it's not Black Isle studio and it doesn't have this magic touch. Still, it's good. All the bad press his nostalgia or politic crap. It was made by a modern studio with modern standards. Get over it.
