Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal is written to be the final chapter in BioWare's immensely popular Advanced Dungeons & Dragons-based Baldur's Gate role-playing series. With about 40 additional hours of gameplay time, this expansion pack for Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn offers a new character kit, new NPCs to befriend or belie, new quests to fulfill, a whole new region to visit and explore, and an extension of the storyline which leads to the ultimate conclusion of the Baldur's Gate legend. The expansion also offers new spells and allows characters to rise to the 40th level, making them fit to face some of the most dangerous and interesting creatures in the entire AD&D universe. ~ T.J.
