Ok, it's basically more of what you've already experienced in SoA, though there are some differences.
Graphically it is just as astounding, breathtaking and full of atmosphere. The music is also completely on par with SoA, sometimes being even more grander and epic.
There is less of a plot and only one real subquest (that one is a biggie though). People who liked BG2 for the plot and the quests will probably find that ToB seems a bit too much like a series of gargantuan battles.
The level is high-power, VERY high-power. Not only do you get semi-godly high-level abilities, the enemy does too and enemies that would make you break a cold sweat in the start of SoA now play the same role as goblins and kobolds did. SoA was rife with high-power items. ToB doesn't falter here either. At the end most of your party is equipped with +5 artifacts with mighty powers.
I think the world is a bit less exspansive and the plot is rather linear, but it is still a worthy buy.
