More great turn-based RPG combat

User Rating: 8.6 | Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal PC
By dryden555 | Review Date:
This add-on is well-worth playing if you liked BG2: Magic and counter-magic plays a really big role because you will be goiing up against mages that will use "time-stop" and other deadly spells against your party. So you really need to understand the spells and how to fight against them to succeed in this add-on. The difficulty level is definately one step higher than in BG2. The add-on concludes the story but to be honest I thought the story-line about Bhaal-spawn wasn't very interesting and it starts to get silly that there are Bhaal-spawn around every corner. Like others, I thought the character "Imoen" to be intensely annoying. She's a central character so you can't really make her go away. Her high-pitched voice would drive me up the wall. It would be a good idea to be pretty advanced into BG2 before you try this add-on. You really need to know how battles work to enjoy the game.

    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
