Board Thread:General Discussion on Baldur's Gate Game/@comment-34236415-20200212092816

So I just bought all Infinity Engine EE games from the GOG winter sale and remembered that BG Trilogy EE requires SoD. The problem is that I couldn't find balanced reviews of the game. The majority of people were raging over SoD for all the wrong/irrelevant reasons (Gamergate and Mizhena) and some of the other reviewers were new to the game (i.e. not veteran players like me).

I watched about 2 hours of Let's Play on YouTube and what I saw seemed like a chore, a filler between BG1 and BG2. So I would appreciate some balanced opinions on the topic that are more focused on the story/gameplay rather than Gamergate rage.
