The writing is below average compared to the second game, and there is some continuity issues surrounding romances carrying over from the first game, As well as most of your party from an original playthrough just deciding to ♥♥♥♥ off for whatever reason. I never liked Safana as a character anyways so whatever happened with her is a big idgaf. Oversensitive crybabies getting asspained over one comment Minsc made is no reason to downvote. A side character with no actual weight on the story regardless of whatever gender is no reason to vote it ♥♥♥♥

Downvote the DLC for poor writing, some buggy instances that made it into final version of the game, an untuned difficulty setting (whatever the hardest difficulty is called that you can only choose at the start of the game), a more useless druid, a lot of instances of sub-par voice acting, busted multiplayer and some character personalities that get ruined (Skie for example)

I will give it some credit, actual fights in the game at the Level you are at are actually challenging and probably the most fun/balanced to work around (as long as you play it on the insane difficulty). That being said, Wizard Cloudkill can usually bypass 90% of these fights anyways.

I was fortunate to not have to deal with a lot of gamebreaking bugs and made it through the game twice. Would I playthrough it again? Probably, if I ever decided to beat BG again for the umpteenth million time. Do I reccomend it? Probably not. You could skip this and not miss anything (Not to mention NONE of the items from this make it into BG2:EE anyways, No new romance scenes with none of the potential romances (Neera, Jaheira, Viconia are the only 3 I was able to do with both characters)). You'd probably be better off writing your own story if you want a storyline for it. Not like the main idea is bad for this story, it was just executed very poorly.

Watching your achievements, you've skipped quite some content found in SOD. And there are new items that reappear in BG2EE actually.
