I dont hate it or anything but the overall tone and weirdness of it compared to the rest of the game is really jarring to me, it's like you're teleported into a completely different game and it takes you out of the experience.
Visually the area is really awesome and I dont think it should be removed, but in my opinion it needs to be toned down to fit with the D&D feel of the rest of the game.
BG always had crazy and out of place quests. In bg2 specifically you had the planer dome (I think that's what its called? The quest with Valigar) and you had the theatre quest that also went a little crazy.
Of course you had the big (and totally missable) fish people questline as well
