    Am i the onlyone that find's Throne of Bhaal a huge disapointment compared to Shadows of Amn? I mean the plot is very short and simple, every thug/orc/soilder has a sword/bow/halberd +3, bosses are underpowered and their portraits compared to those of NPS's are ugly an there are less sidequests than in Icewind Dale! After i finished the game i felt like being screwed!:mad::cry:

    I don't feel disappointed. You are comparing apples to oranges. BG, BG2, and Icewind Dale are stand alone games. They cost more when they come out. They are expected to do more/be more then the game before them (except for IWD which did less than BG).
    TOB is an add on.

    ToB was great. I loved it. Anytime I play a game and finish it mostly every time I want more. ToB gave me that and finished the Child of Bhaal saga. I didn't even hit the cap it was so big.

    Recently, I've been finding myself playing a game through SoA and ToB up until the end of Yaga Shura's fight. Then I quit that game and play another. It's just that ToB is beginning to bore me much more than SoA ever did. Perhaps I should install Acension and try to figure out a different way of playing, but that's :yot: .

    [​IMG] Fritz, it is an expansion - not an entirely new sequel complete with 5 or six chapters. What exactly were you expecting? Didnt you read the back of the box before you bought the damn thing? It is merely supposed to supplement your characters with a few new abilities (and exp) and to resolve the whole Bhaal Saga.
