The flood of reviews continues, it seems like every time I log on there's another. The latest one comes from CBG, and scores the expansion at 85%. Oh, and don't forget to check out the screenshots at the bottom of the page, (although they are labeled Spoilers).

New tactics are often required to get through some of the new areas such as the Dead Magic or Wild Magic zones inside Watcher’s Keep when playing as any spell-casting class. In the Dead Magic zones, magic doesn’t work at all and in the Wild Magic zones, casting causes different effects to occur. Sometimes it casts properly and sometimes you get a weird feedback effect. Some improvements in the AI were done for the expansion, most notably on the dragons. They choose their opponents much more intelligently, now attacking mages and sorcerers who can tear down their defensive spells before focusing all their attention on melee fighters. I noticed this first when Draconis decided that my character deserved to die more than anyone else did, and started chasing me. Oh, that was such fun. One, two, three, and I am dead.
