I just finished Baldur's Gate. Killing Sarevok was so difficult. I didn't do TOTSC before killing Sarevok. Killing Sarevok should be easier with higher level characters after completing TOTSC, but I have read conflicting things on the net. I have read that Sarevok is a higher level character himself if you don't confront him until after TOTSC. So which is it? I appreciate all answers.
By the way - great job Beamdog! I love this game and you made it completely better for contemporary computers. Can't wait for BG3!

Since BG:EE includes TotSC, you just get one version of Sarevok in the game. Since beating him ends the game, it's a good idea to try all the TotSC stuff (based in Ulgoth's Beard) if you want to have a completionist game.
Edit: Iirc the XP cap was raised as well when TotSC came out.
and half my party dying I finally got him.
To be honest original Sarevok was harder due to being nearly immune to magic (had around 90-95% magic resistance), where as post TotSC Sarevok just has 90% fire resistance. The fight is otherwise identical.
- Use your potions (you should have plenty)
- Focus on him: a few backstabs + magic missiles will take care of him rather quickly (if you put magic missiles in a spell sequencer on 2 mages you can pelt him with 20 MM from the start of the fight)
Still, sorcerer+Mage and you're on.
