The first review of ToEE is out, and the verdict is 4 out of 5 stars. Here's a snip of what GameSpy had to say about it:

Fans of other computer RPGs should be able to slip into ToEE quite easily. At a glance, it appears as your standard isometric view game where you control a party of adventurers and guide them through towns, woodlands, and -- of course -- dungeons. Think Baldur's Gate and you're not too far off the mark. The game lets you start by picking from pre-generated characters or creating your own band of up to five adventurers. Either way, your characters start as bumbling novices and spend the rest of the game progressing through up to ten levels of skill.

Like with other facets of the game, the options you have in creating your party are mind-bogglingly numerous. I happily spent 30 minutes creating my party. The game's adherence to the 3.5 rule set means you get to roll abilities, pick a profession, assign skill points, choose special powers ("feats"), pick spells, and even customize your own appearance.
