Released around the same time as D2 LoD ToB got a backseat to the sales of millions of copies of LoD expansions. This is sad because ToB is an excellent end to a mighty RPG game. The expansion ramps up the difficulty up to par with Hordes of the Underdark. The battles in the game are epic and the best in the entire series. In fact they are the best in both Icewind Dale and BG1/2. Hordes is on par with the scale delivered here. The game completes the romance quests and party endings .. It is worth the buy just to see how the series ends as well as giving you more skills. (Just like in Hordes) The max level cap has been increased as well as giving you more stat increases. The weapons are as varied as in Hordes and truly presents the infinity engine at its best.. Not even Icewind Dale 2 comes close to showing off the abilities of the aging engine. My personal score is a 10.. when combined with the original game. As a whole the series gains an overall 10 as well and is worth your time when given a collection pack.. even without one the expansion is perfect.
