Wish I had seen this before ... i got stuck in a BORING 3 hour meeting! UGH! Sorry I couldn't get back to you on this sooner.

Anyway, this may have changed since I last read it, but according to a post i read by Ken at TeamBG that unless you START your game AFTER DSOTSC, you won't get access to the new spells, new items or new NPCs. Since YOU started your game after DSOTSC was installed, you should be okay. Your brother may be hosed. I am not sure about the new areas, but I think those may be blocked as well for your brother, as I believe several of the new npcs are the triggers for those areas appearing.

Again, this is based on an old thread I read over on the OLD interplay forums and all of this may have changed with the latest version of DSOTSC. Let me know how this turns out.

And yes, I believe the trolls and orcs are DS improvements - those are probably going to be in place since I believe those are tied directly to the AREA files and those would have been modified with the DSOTSC installation.
