Honestly it's been probably two years since I played through with BtL installed, so I'm not sure how much help a review from me would be at this point. For what it's worth, I enjoyed the mod as a whole. The characters were believable, fun, useful. They didn't come with god-items, ridiculously broken quests/battles, as far as I can remember the AI for the villains was challenging without blatant cheating.
The only cons from my perspective were having my actions circumscribed by the presence of an NPC, and the feeling that the quest to rescue the protagonist's bestest childhood friend ever was being back-burnered to do some detective work. Neither of these ruined it for me, however. My only -real- complaint is that I seem to recall Kova and Kiyone being far more interested in everyone else than in the protagonist, since banters with them seemed to exceed banters with CHARNAME.
Were I to make suggestions for content, I'd say expand dialogue with the PC. As trite and cliche as the theme is, everything really is revolving around the PC, particularly in ToB. It just seemed so odd to me that neither expressed much direct interest outside of their own personal affairs.
