A fun edition to the original game.

User Rating: 9.3 | Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal PC
By TazmanianD | Review Date:
The Throne of Bhaal is a great follow on to the original Baldur's Gate II. I played it using the same characters I finished BGII with so I got to experience some continuity of characters across the two games. The story itself is pretty decent and gives you something worthwhile to fight for and also helps to wrap up the "Spawn of Bhaal" aspect left open from the previous games.

The game is definitely more difficult. There is quite a handful of dragons in this expansion pack that require everything your characters can throw at them. There's also new weapons and items to pick up as well as plenty of new items that can be used to enhance your existing weapons (Holy Avenger Sword +6....oh yeah).

The game is generally of the same quality and caliber of the original game and provides enough new gameplay to make it a very worthwhile expansion pack.

    Despite being an expansion which most would thought to be mere 10 hour fillers, Throne of Bhaal proves to be a power-packed game that can go up to 40-50 hours (if you include Watcher's Keep). With an 8 million exp cap an... Read Full Review
