    All too true!

    Siege of Dragonspear is now part of my canon and I play it as in interlude between 1-2 every time. My only 2 partial complaints are the large XP bump from the game (but I now play always with as a minimum hardcore SCS, so the game seems to manage this ok), and too many magic items. For me more scarcity in magic items is always a good thing (I do like the new unique items but those on top of all of the merchants seems a bit over the top in both variety and availability).

    The discord back in the day all seems tired and quaint to me now. It is a solid and even great product. I wish there could have been another expansion somehow, perhaps a TOB adventure add-on.

    The single most irritating thing to me in SoD, after all these years, is Neera's voice. When I do any playthroughs of BG, though--and those are increasingly rare these days--I always go from BG1/TotSC straight into SoD for the xp boost, which makes going into BG2 easier.

    It's a coincidence, but I'm playing SOD now, as part of a planned play of the complete saga. As of this writing, my party has cleaned up Kanagalym and Jaheira has made Level 11 Druid.

    I've felt bad about the bullying, because I've always liked the game too. I bought the Collector's Edition box set, come to that, putting my money as well as my time where my mouth is. Here's to another decade.

    Yes, her speech and phrasing are too modern for my personal taste in the game. I think her class is interesting for something new, but I rarely take her beyond her personal quests these days (which I enjoy). I find wild magic too wild!

    I think my favorite line though from her is when she says something about liking beards in BG2. First time I heard this I was playing a dwarf charname and he became quite enamored with her :)
