    What we asked:

    Q: Which new feature in the BG2 expansion, Throne of Bhaal, excites you the most?
    (358 votes total)

    XP cap at level 40 (104) 29%
    New areas (74) 21%
    More romance(s) (46) 13%
    Wild Mage kit (40) 11%
    New NPC (31) 9%
    New spells (29) 8%
    New weapons & items (24) 7%
    New monsters (10) 3%

    As expected, the majority of people (29%) are very pleased with the fact that they will finally be able to reach truly god-like levels without cheating. The limit now set at level 40 should be enough for even hard-core power gamers.

    21% of people are waiting to see the new areas impatiently. One of the them, namely Watcher's Keep, a dungeon similar to Durlag's Tower in the Tales of the Sword Coast (BG1 expansion) was described by Bioware as "one of the coolest dungeons we've ever made". Add to the list your own Abyssal Stronghold, an Underdark fortress and a few more and you've got a lot to look forward to.

    More romance(s) are in third place with 13% of votes. Bioware have promised that all previously started romances will continue in the expansion as well, and just maybe there'll also be a new one (Mazzy). We will have to wait and see.

    Fourth most popular new feature in the expansion is the Wild Mage kit. Obviously quite a lot of people (11%) are looking forward to playing this powerful but unpredictable new kit, or recruiting the new NPC who might be a wild mage him/herself.

    9% of people are very interested in the new NPC, but alas, there is no official information regarding him/her at this time. Most likely (s)he will be a wild mage, but this is purely speculation at this point.

    New spells excite 8% of people who voted in the poll. Not only will you now have the option to cast all those high level mage spells that you couldn't previously because of the experience cap, but there will also be a slew of new ones for wizards and priests.

    In seventh place with 7% of votes are new weapons & items. Obviously not something that most people would have missed in the original game, since there were really so many good items that it was hard to choose which ones to use. But still, the expansion will bring even more better and more powerful weapons and items.

    Only 3% of people are excited about the new monsters in ToB but since there is little known about them at the moment, this isn't surprising. What we do know is that there will be at least one new powerful dragon to kill and that solars will be in the game also. Stay tuned for more info.
