Well I wouldn't say it was short, it's only an expansion after all, but towards the end it gets a bit linear, after you get into the monastery town... (can't for the life of me remember what it's called) there are hardly any sidequests that I could find.
I'm actually thinking of starting it all over again... right from SOA that is, I don't have a copy of BG1 at the moment
