I've downloaded TDD and have just started a new party. I have to completely uninstall ToB/SoA and re-install SoA, since TDD is not yet ToB compatible.
I haven't gotten very far as yet. I've completed Nalia's castle. I didn't find any more trolls than usual. There were some other rather interesting "guests" outside the castle when I showed up.
Here's my take thus far:
Pros:
More items
10 more NPC's (3 good, 5 evil, 2 nuetral)
More kits
(I know that there are supposed to be more quests, but I haven reached them as yet.)
Cons:
(1) The spelling is really weak. (This is a really annoying gripe for me. It won't limit my enjoying the new playing experience. However, as a professional programmer, I find such constant spelling errors to be really annoying, in the extreme. As I said on the TDD board, nothing screams unprofessional like bad spelling.)
(2) Far too many kit-specific items. I like new items. Bring'em on!!! But these kit specific items are just too much. Hammers that only certain kit of clerics can use? A sling that only the "slinger" kit (which BTW only can be selected by halflings) can use? Just too darned restrictive.
On the whole, I will still give a thumbs up. What the heck, it's new material. As long as its functional, I won't complain too much.
