They also rewrote Jaheira and Safana because they were problematic and not sensitive to feminist issues.

Also, there's more to it than just the SJW things. Like the Mary Sue boss that they reintroduce David Warner (Irenicus) purely to talk up. It's the same kind of lame fanfic material that they flooded the Enhanced Editions with, only now it's the entirety of its own campaign.

The SJW pandering is just the icing on the insult cake that is Siege of Dragonspear. Pic related is a well-written explanation for that. It's one thing to ham-fisted include a transgendered character to push your agenda, or even to try and "feminist overtones" to existing character. Artistic interpretation and all. But some of what was added was just insults and taking jabs at the playerbase and people who disagree with them. At this point it's not even just an inappropriate platform to push your views, it's also one to attack dissenters.

That said... if you're not a fan of the series, or you genuinely don't care about having the series now being used as a platform for social issues or beloved childhood characters getting butchered, then I guess it could be an okay game for you.

But honestly, if you're not targeting the people nostalgic for Baldur's Gate, who is your target audience?
