I thought the battle tower was a pretty cool addition as well. A lot of games don't really always give you a "home base" so I enjoyed that aspect.
Yes, it was. The only problem is that we get it too late, almost at the end of the game. And there is like.. only one location left - Fjords (I don't count redux version of BV). You can't really "feel" that you expand power of your Tower and your allies. In a blink of an eye you finish the game and like.. what? The potential of Tower was never really used. The great idea was destroyed by poor implementation.
Same happened in addon. Larian loves to repeat the mistakes they did already >_>
