Intense fun, if you know how to stick solid to your role-playing skills! (small spoiler incl.)

User Rating: 9.1 | Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal PC
By heatherceana | Review Date:
This add-on will be mediocre for the hack-n-slashers out there. If you are a die-hard role-player, you will get a real kick out of it!

Don't believe me? Try this:

Play through this as a Neutral Evil or Lawful Evil character. Work for that Throne! REALLY want to be the next Lord of Murder!! Stick to your role. Whether you are a being of your word, or have a dagger ready in each hand searching for someone's back in which to plunge them, you will thoroughly enjoy this!!

One of the funniest parts of this add-on is the NPC reaction to being dragged-down into the hells with you. The good and neutral NPCs display a fairly predictable reaction, except Minsc. The evil NPCs' reactions may make you wet yourself, so be sure to take a potty-break before the fight with Jonny-boy.

This add-on is best when played with a character that you took through the Shadows of Amn. I recommend that you take Seravok with you as a fighter, regardless of your alignment.

    A worthy expansion to an RPG masterpiece.

    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
