Don't fear the haters.
Long time fan of Gate and similar games (Icewind Dale, Torment). I was skeptical of this expac at first, especially with all the initial negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised when I finally pulled the trigger. First, the opening movie and music is perfect. The story is as good as any the series has produced with the exception of Torment and Shadows of Amn. From the very start I was geeking out and ready to adventure! The user interface is smoother and more user friendly than it's ever been. The new NPC's are rich in character and fun to play. The NPC banter is also much improved and more organic. The old NPCs are handled well, with everyone coming back to do the voices except Jaheria. Some minor (but good) changes to spells. The game can sometimes railroad you, but it's no worse than Throne of Bhall (and in my opinion, better). There are still lots of meaningful choices and decisions you make have a lasting effect. Even the random encounters aren't really random, but are interesting and even offer real choices! (Do I help the dragon or the giants, for example.) I felt the story was very good, had unexpected turns, and was a story tied to the lore of the Realms, which is awesome. The ending (the actual end of the game) was as good as I think it could have been considering they were making a prequel to BG2 (and fitting a prequel into the continuity is harder than it looks, just ask George Lucas.) Well worth the price. I am not disappointed.
