Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast is an expansion pack for Baldur's Gate which adds four bonus areas to the existing Baldur's Gate game map: Ulgoth's Beard, a pirate island, an ice island, and Durlag's Tower. These areas provide additional side quests and exploration within the main story line. In addition, it allows the player to reach higher levels of power with increased experience point caps, wielding more powerful spells and better weaponry. It must be remembered that, at this stage, the characters are, at best, of fairly middling levels — though probably not in double figures.
An interesting facet of this expansion is that the characters have to deal with fairly powerful monsters — werewolves (a human who polymorphs into a wolf, often retaining the bipedal stance), greater werewolves, wolfweres (a wolf that transforms into a quadrupedal human shape) and greater wolfweres, as well as the odd Demon Knight.
