A good add-in?

Sir Exxon · 03-17-2002, 12:20 PM

Do you think ToB is a good add-in to SoA?
Imo, it's the best add-in ever made, to any game.
You get lots of new abilities, get to discover your true origin, and the game gets a very good ending-storyline.

see ya!

Hmmm.
I should have to say a nice add-on but a little too linear and too much hack'n'slash.
The storyline was good though!

I have to agree with Helspanth, the story line was too linear. A few more side quests would have been greatfully received.

A lot of thought has gone into spicing up the character classes with new abilities and powerful spells. Its a shame this add-on is the shortest of the series.

Having said all that, its the best RPG I have played ... and its going to take some beating.

Have to agree. It's handsdown the best game and add-on I have played so far. Only thing is that lesser quality of graphics, especially when compared to Ice Wind Dale and the Heart of Winter add-on. Apart from that: Top of the Bill

ToB is better than other addons, but not good enough for a great game like SoA. The artwork is nowhere near SoA and I miss the sidequests. The character abilities are however fabolous and make it worthwhile to play ToB, but considering that it is far to short and too much hack'n slash diablostyle

What annoys me is that ther is only one new kit the Wild mage, i expected more than that

ToB is excellent - but come on, this is Bioware were talking about. They are capable of so much more than this.

Oh yes.
Imo, Bioware is one of the best things that have ever happened to the RPG-world. Also followed by Black Isle, WotC, and D&D... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

see ya!

Sorry, Exxon, I hated TOB, especially the endings. I am seriously considering uninstalling it and putting The Darkest Day on, instead.

Hmm... it was a decent add-on, but it could have used more side quests and a less linear storyline... still, not bad, and it did have a lot of fancy new abilities and things... *shrug* Basically, could have been better, but wan't that bad either. Definitely still fun, though.
