    In case anyone needs another BGII: Throne of Bhaal review, here's one at Gamer's Pulse.

    There are several additions made to the BG2 game experience via ToB. Bioware chose to maintain a modified 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rule set rather than switch over to 3rd Edition fully; such a choice would likely have greatly increased the development time, and taken away from their upcoming Neverwinter Nights project. The experience cap for characters has been increased to 8 million, meaning that several classes can now achieve the godly heights of 40th level. In light of that, several high level spells have been added, especially for mages of all types, and high level class abilities have been implemented for the first time in an AD&D CRPG. Fighter types now gain access to such abilities as “War Cry” and “Whirlwind” attacks, while mages and clerics get 10th and quest level spells respectively, enhancing their already formidable powers. Thieves in particular get some nice abilities, my favorite being the ability to use any magical item, including those usually reserved for specific classes.
