Here's today's info.


Throne of Bhaal
Kevin Martens (Lead Designer)
Add In and Add On sections: To start - here's a brief explanation of the Add-On and Add-In sections.

The Add-In section is a massive dungeon complex called The Watcher's Keep. When you install Throne of Bhaal (TOB), the area is added to your existing Shadows of Amn (SOA) map. You can play it whenever you have access to it (Chapter 2,3,6) although you should have an average party level of at least 10 to venture in. The Watcher's Keep makes up approximately half of the expansion and can be accessed from both Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal. The area is on both maps.

The Add-On section continues the main story after the final confrontation in SOA. An Ill-wind sweeps across the Sword Coast and the party drives southward in an attempt to learn more about the Prophecy of Alaundo and to find his or her place (as a Child of Bhaal) in that prophecy. We give you an entire new WorldMap with tons of stuff to do. This new map is made up of Southern Tethyr and Northern Calimshan. Just like the transition from BG1 to BG2, everything is new.

meaning they like making a bg3. they are just adding up the already used up great ideas of bg2... now i know why they only made an expansion.

the infinity engine is limited. and in my opinion, they have already pushed it to the limit. the ideas are all used up in bg2. bg was an overhaul of bg1. and it would be virtually impossible to create a bg3 that will kick bg2 and bg1s btt. great stuff. thats why its only expansion thingees...

Here's the link to the latest ToB "Item of the Week". The item is called the Darksteel Shield. Pretty cool background story on the item, if you ask me...and no one did...so I'll shut-up now.

Now where did I leave that doughnut?!

Monster of the week has to be Undead Beholders...are they shadow or skeletal?

ED: I removed a spoiler reference to the new NPC. Even though it seems like everyone knows who it is, I'm trying to keep this thread free of that.
