 Some of the best games I've ever played, and revived the RPG September 8, 2010
A. Shutterly (Virginia, USA)
Baldur's Gate was one of the first PC games I ever played. And it will always be one of my favorites. It's a game with a slight learning curve, but if you're at all familiar with DnD, then it's not bad. Basically, you can't just go in and hack everything to bits and win. You have to plan. You need to prepare for every battle. Leveling up is EXTREMELY important (compared to the Diablo games, where another level is just another 5 stat points basically). Baldur's Gate took everything I knew about RPGs and made them better. In fact, RPG gaming, at the time, wasn't very big. But BG basically revived the entire genre because it had such a great reception (other games were renewing interest like Fallout, but BG was really the big fish at the time).
Baldur's Gate 2 is no different. All it did was fix the problems with Baldur's Gate (made seeing things easier, had more customization, had more side quests, etc.) and make the game bigger. You can even reuse your old character from BG1 in BG2 (in fact, you SHOULD since it's a continuation of the previous story).
I've played these games dozens of times now. I've made so many wizards and rogues, and have made a few fighters, paladins, monks, etc. I probably reinstall and replay this game once a year, and I've still not even played half the classes. There is just so much you can do with the game, its replayability is enormous. The story is the same every time, but it's still one of my favorite stories (and Sarevok from BG1 is still one of my favorite villains of all time). The writing is clever, hilarious, emotional, everything. The characters all have meaning and their own little tics and quirks (from Khalid's st-st-st-stuttering to Viconia's sassing to Minsc's ABSOLUTE HILARIOUS AND BAD-ASSEDNESS). This game is just incredible, and the fact that my brothers and friends have beaten it and started a new game so many times should tell you something about its appeal.
I love this game so much. Everyone should play it at least once.
Baldurs gate 2 September 4, 2010
Stephen Burns (bruceangus)
Baldurs gate 2 is the best d and d rpg ever made. In fact it uses advanced dungeons and dragons rules. Play the first one first or you will never want to play it. The expansions were ok but nothing compared to the real thing.
If you like well-written rpgs, this game is for you. September 3, 2010
Lauraness (Lauraland)
For those who haven't played Baldur's Gate yet, the characters are gripping, and the game-play is fun. The system they use is 2e D&D. For those who played Baldur's Gate before DvD, it's WAY simpler to have 4 disks, one for each game and expansion.
Baldurs Gate 4-n-1 box set September 3, 2010
wisecane (LAKE WALES, FL, US)
I loved these games when they first came and they are just as good now. The nostalgia factor is huge with this set. I'll be getting the Neverwinter Nights and IceWind Dale sets next.
