Order of expansions

[Poncherello]

Hi,
I'm near to the end of Baldur's Gate and I want to start the two expansions The black pits and Siege of Dragonspears. In which order do I have to play the two expansions?

You have to play Tales of Sword Coast first, if you already haven't.
SoD come after and is the link between bg1 and bg2.
Black Pits is not linked to the main story so you can play it when you wish

The Black Pits is not a typical expansion, but extra arena fighting unrelated to the story:

Integrated into the base game is the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion featuring Ulgoth's Beard, Durlag's Tower, Ice Island, Werewolf Island.

At the end of the base game, the game continues into Siege of Dragonspear automatically (if it is installed).

The level cap in the two expansions is the same?

[AlexMBrennan]

Level cap in Black Pits is 10 for pure classes, and weird[forums.beamdog.com] for dual classes.

Siege of Dragonspear has an XP cap of 500k

[Wicket W. Warrick]

You can play the black pits when you want (even when you're playing BG), but you can also skip it, since it's not in the main plot storyI would play it as last.
