Not only does it finish off the story, it's a really rather nice game in itself: it's a "proper" expansion in that it really has an awful lot of content to play through. I thought something that was largely confined to Aleroth might feel a bit restrictive and claustrophobic but I was wrong. I guess in some regards it was a bit like Morrowind's Tribunal... only a lot prettier! And sillier, a lot of the time. Which is obviously a good thing, because Larian.
