Okay - this is just some relevant stuff pasted from their site (www.teambg.com), so you don't have to do a multiple browsing

Formerly known as the "Dark Side Of The Sword Coast" it is meant to have the folowing.

Here are the details:

This is an unofficial expansion aimed at a 9-12th level party. So I advise that you take the party thru all of TotSC First! But you have to do that after you have installed this expansion. Otherwise the new areas will not be available. Of course you can always import your party in.
Requires approximately 40 MB to install. (40!! WOW I was wrong!!

)

* 5 major quests well at the level of Durlag's Tower or Werewolf Island.
* More powerful monsters than anything yet experienced.
* Over 30 new areas.
* 100 new spells. (Same graphics - different effects I think

)
* Over 70 new critters.
* 80 new weapons, armor and other items.
* 8 New NPCs to join your group.
* Enhanced Original BG Quests and Encounters.
* Experience cap raised to 20 million.
* Level 40 rules pack is included (instead of the level 20 rules that come with BG/TotSC). (maximum level can be raised to 40)
* Upon installation the program "DSotSC Installer" will allow the backup and restoring of your original BG/TotSC files (like "dialog.tlk", "Override" folder and "Characters" folder). You MUST use this tool to install or uninstall DSotSC!!! (don't worry - what they're saying is just to protect your original files in case it is a bit buggy

)
* All of this is in a FREE download about 21 MB in size!!! (Ah! So I was right after all!

)

On the other hand - in Planescape Torment you play as an undead dude who has lost his mind - brain dead. He meets up with a bony skull named Morte and tries to find himself (his identity) back together again.

You travel through "Sigil", which is the outer planar world (of Faerun) and you go around talking to dead zombies, weird (and I mean WEIRD) people.

It's okay if you like dead worlds, drony murky atmosphere - like I do to some extent, hehe.

But if you go for action - battles and lots of fighting then it's not probably your game, because it's mostly strategy and less fighting (dissapointing that

)

One last thing is that the interface (or game screen) has changed so that you end up clicking through a different location to get to the relevant things (spell book etc.....)

Try it if you like, I haven't got DSOTSC myself but if you think it sounds okay then give them a visit! http://www.teambg.com
