I think this ''EE'' is a mess.

For the first time I'm playing BG2EE (I only played the originals, the good ones for me); while the ''normal'' stuff is ok, the new companion quests and stuff are messy. Atm I did Neera quest and it was ok, simple. The voice acting is horrible but nvm. I had to follow a guide not to lose the chance to meet Wilson the bear, because Rasaad and Neera quest ''overlap'' and you can miss it. But ok...
Rasaad quest was a mess. He was unconscious in some combat because of some enemy spell, and his dialogues were bugged. Had to reload and remake some part (the last combat, I think) or I was like... ''hello? nothing to say?'' How can you make an EE and new content and fail like this? I don't get it.
Hexxat quest again... bugs. Her dialogues were messed up and had to reload 3 or 4 times... I was playing this quest by inertia, a tomb and 2 crypts or something it was. No clue, but nvm.
I completed those and now I maybe will do Dorn quest (just because I bought this damn thing and content years ago and spent the money, so I have to play it some day) But i'm afraid he will start being annoying trying to ''romance'' my male-elf PC
and this is so cringe. Why is this even a thing in D&D? It's enough IRL, to involve a game in these things in a pretentious and forced way... it's a nonsense.
BG was a great game in the originals, the EE's are for me a... travesty. Sorry

I have the last update/patch.
For me this is the less important problem I see with the EE, I will end Dorn quest and kick him off the party. But the rest...
It's a thing in real life yes, so it's a thing in fictions as well.
How can you know it's done in a pretentious and forced way", since obviously you never played it yet ?
People are people, and they don't need all these propaganda acronyms to live 🤷🏼♂️. And they don't deserve anything special, in games or wherever. A gay person can play the Aerie or Anomen romance or whatever; it's roleplaying, it doesn't have to reflect your real-life tastes 🙃. Adding these things was unnecessary... wokism and nonsense.
In a game like baldur's gate it's simply anticlimatic and cringe to me, especially with those abnormal options... a psychopathic half-orc and a repulsive vampire. I avoid romances in this game anyway, so not a big deal.
I completed Dorn quest. Beautiful helm and not so bad areas, but it was way too easy...
The only "new" quest that was a little difficult to me was Hexxat crypts and not much.
I knoe they have more quests in ToB...
There’s a mod that makes it very easy to just remove any or all EE NPCs from the game.
I think broadly speaking I’m not a huge fan of Beamdog writing, a few significant exceptions. But their technical merits are outstanding. Fast, stable, better looking, ease of use features I would never choose to play without. I’ll never go back to the originals.
Well as I said I wanted to play the content I paid for, at least 🙃
I had more important bugs and problems with the EE's than with the Originals, as I said, especially with the new content 🤷🏻♂️
And well for me BG1, the original, was the best looking game, so...
D&D people doesn't exist 🙃. The thing is they added those romance options with that goal, to be inclusive; this is pretentious from start. Not to mention, if someone feels excluded for not being able to hook up with a murderous half-orc or a vampire in a videogame... I would be worried.
Tolerance already existed before being monopolized by a movement like Wokism; it's nothing more than a political/electoral tool (in decline). And yes, that whole acronym mess is a total nonsense.
P.S., I'm not straight 🤷🏻♂️.
