Baldur's Gate 2 Expansion: Throne of Bhaal - PC

W/E

The Finale to one of the great rpg's of all time(Shadow of Amn ; also called Baldur's Gate 2). Excellent addition to it.

I am a huge fan of the Baldur's Gate series and I have to say, while the game is a very fitting conclusion to the series, it is probably my least favorite of the games. The game lacks much more in character development and it became more of a hack 'n slash type game than the previous ones. I guess in some regards there isn't much left to develop at this point though. I also think the character interactions nose dive in this game. Part of the fun of BGII was the huge amount of dialouge your party had between themselves and the little stories that take place while the main story goes on. The game is also very tedious at the end. The final battle is extremely difficult and in itself can take forever to beat. The Watcher's Keep dungeon quest idea was kind of redundant and it was just the Durlag's Tower of the second game in my opinion. Once inside it, it is an interesting story by itself, but it kind of has to be done randomly in the middle of the big rush to find The Five, which kind of takes the whole urgency out of it. If you have the platform game installed you can do Watcher's Keep before the expansion story starts, but it is practically suicide until the very end of the game, at least the second half of it anyway. Even then it would probably be too over the top for most parties.Overall it was a great closing to the story, but I felt like I worked way too hard to get what I sort of knew was coming. I would still consider it money well spent and the entire series together gives countless hours of fun.

This was an awesome addition to the Baldur's Gate saga. More creatures, battles, and abilities are never a bad thing when talking about one of the best computer rpg's of all time.The only thing that I didn't care for was how this expansion had a more linear feel to it than the previous three games, but it wasn't enough of a deterrent to cause me to lower the score.If you are one of the five people that hasn't played this game, I recommend you get your hands on it any way you can.

There are a number of people like myself experiencing a slowdown bug that makes the games all but unplayable. Every few seconds the game will pause for a 1/2 second or so! You might want to wait until a patch is released that fixes this annoying problem. Check the publisher's message boards for more info regarding this known annoyance. When I get this game working, I'm sure my rating will be 5 stars once i'm able to run this game as what i've seen and heard have been great.

perfect

I love BSG II. And when I got this, it was such a let down. It has cool battle's and a decent plot but I think BlackIsle could have put a little more effort into this and make this a new game (aka BSG III). I give this two stars because it does have potential. But overall, a big disapointment.

recived on time, items where not damaged information all matched what was on the page, and will enjoy hours of gameing
