Throne of Bhaal Goodies

Today brought us two more newsbits about the upcoming expansion for Baldur's Gate II. First, we have a first look at GamePro which gives a brief rundown of the expansion's synopsis along with a dozen screenshots.

Secondly, PC GamerWeb has posted up a full preview of ToB, providing a few additional answers to questions such as, "What can possibly provide a challenge to my characters after BG2?":

    Recognizing that most Throne of Bhaal players, let alone their player characters, will be extremely experienced and quite possibly a little jaded with the typical sort of Dungeons & Dragons conflict, the designers of the expansion are concentrating on making the battles as substantial as possible. For instance, fans of the Baldur's Gate games often point out that some of the best battles in the series are those in which your party squares off against a similarly powerful, similarly equipped enemy party of adventurers.
