Sword Coast

Hi,
I`m doiing BG1 and wonder if its worth getting TOTSC.
I can get it for £15, this includes BG1 which I don`t need.
So, is it worth buying? How much is in it compared to
BG1?
Cheers
Davfra

Yes, get it!!! It contains a lot, including the awesome Durlag's Tower!

Durlag's tower is the best area in any infinity engine game. If you haven't played it, you're missing out.

Definitely worth it.

An interesting note is that if you've played BG2 you'll recognize a bit of the map in Durlag's tower - the area where you rescue Haer D'Alis from is one of the upper levels of the tower.

Just an amusing bit.

The TotSC expansion adds a lot of new spells, and items, and the like. It also raises the XP Cap to 161,000 which allows you to get to higher level abilities, and spells. Further, it means that if you export your char for BG2 they start with more XP.
