Hi I'm playing BG2:SOA, Chapter 2. I heard about ToB. Is it an expansion which you travel in totaly new ares (can not be able to return previous chapters of SoA like Heart Of Winter) or it adds some side quests, items to ORIGINAL SOA? I mean should I buy it after I complete the game or should I buy it now and have it effects?

there are two parts to the expansion: Add-In and Add-On. Add-in is a dungeon (Watcher's keep) which is accessable from both, SoA and ToB. The Add-on is the areas that you can access after finishing SoA. The good think about installing ToB before finishing SoA is that it raises the XP cap up to 8 mln. So, I would recommend getting it ASAP if you are planning to get it anyway.

From my experience, if you install ToB before you beat SoA there are some additional changes, like extra items in certain stores, a few extra lines of dialouge, and, if you install the patch, better fixes for certain bugs.

Buy it!! You will be maxed out in SOA by the end of the game. Don't waste exp get TOB and you'll still be able to level up. You can find nice treasure in Watcher's Keep. Remember Durlag's Tower in BG? It's like that but not as hard.
