I didn't play the original, but got TLC recently, and I must say the game presents a couple of good things, but overall - I wasn't impressed by it.
And the TLC additions seems far to artificial and as a non-integrated part of the game.
It seems mostly like a forced attempt to add longitivity to the game by - as usualy - introducing more and harder monsters instead of making the game more difficult in gameplay.

The "Puzzle" you have to solve in the start of TLC was so laughable and artificial, that it almost shames my normal scare-example of stupid puzzles in CRPGs aka the Towers of Hanio puzzle in SW:KOTOR.

As said - some good ideas in the game, and a load of bad - for instance, for the love of all that is holy - if introducing age and scars into the game, then have it have some actual influence on the gameplay other then lousy cosmetic fluff. *sigh*
