Baldur's Gate: Tales of The Sword Coast - Gameplay

Gameplay

The gameplay of Tales of the Sword Coast remains fundamentally unchanged from that of Baldur's Gate. The game mechanics are the same, and the new game areas of the expansion are placed in the same world map as the original game. Only minor tweaks are present in the gain, with the experience point cap being raised to 161,000, to allow the player to reach higher levels of power. The interface features a number of improvements, allowing for automatic stacking of identical items and the display of unidentified magical items with a blue tint. Some classes, namely the thief class would see its abilities toned down. If the original game had already been finished, the expansion features of the option of loading a save game which places the player character (and party) in Ulgoth's Beard, a hub city for the expansion.
