I killed Irenicus in the final battle, saw the final clip, but after all it is not possible to keep on playing!
... or is it ??

Welcome to GameBanshee!

You have to buy Throne of Bhaal or download and install The Darkest Day in order to play on.

At least until TeamBG gets the ToB compatibility patch working.

EasterBunny,

Start a new game, choose a different class, and use different NPC's. Bump up the difficulty as well. The game will basically be the same but you will definitely come across some new things.

ToB was okay. I'm playing through TDD currently and haven't noticed too many changes. I've only found one new area and have yet to explore it. There are new NPC's but I am only using one of them.

The Throne of Baal add-on sequel is pretty linear, but it does add some nice story background, higher level spells and abilities, a nice class, and a new party NPC. When that ends, you literally get a completion to the tale, complete with summary of the lives of your comrades and yourself. It can vary, according to your actions.

However, even though it is much shorter, there is more story to ToB than SoA. Less freedom, a lot less.

plot

the eternal problem for the RPG maker: more freedom of choice = more deviation from the 'main' plot, so a more linear game is usually has a more engaging main plot.

I'd get ToB. But as Ned said, replay the game under a new class, and chose different NPCs.

How mutch more powerfull did you want to become anyway?
Though it would be cool if you start playing as an other child of bhaal, then in the end you are confonted with your old self... Nah, that will never work.
