    Gaming Age PC has posted an early review of BGII: Throne of Bhaal, which offers praise for the expansion, but still leaves room for some unanswered questions.

    Despite all of the above praise, these are first impressions, and many questions I have about the game remain unanswered. How well will the AD&D 2E rules, which the Infinity Engine is based on, stand up to level 30-40 characters, when not even the pen and paper version of the game handle those characters well? Will Watchers Keep, a large dungeon that makes up a significant portion of the expansion, progress smoothly or bog down in places like Durlag’s Tower in Tales of the Sword Coast. Does the skill system introduced to higher level characters break the game balance in later levels? These are all valid and serious questions, and I have no answer yet for them. What I do know is this-Throne of Bhaal is so far a well-produced, high quality expansion that fans of Shadows of Amn should strongly consider purchasing even with these issues unanswered.
