Über das Spiel

“Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird. Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein...”

Entführt. Eingesperrt. Gefoltert. Der Magier Irenicus hält Euch in seiner Festung gefangen und versucht, Euch die Kräfte, die Euer Geburtsrecht sind, zu rauben.

Könnt Ihr dem Bösen in Euch widerstehen, eine Legende heroischen Ausmaßes schaffen und endgültig die dunkle Essenz, die Eure Träume heimsucht, zerstören? Oder werdet Ihr Eure monströse Natur akzeptieren, eine Schneise der Verwüstung durch die Reiche ziehen und als neuer Fürst des Mordes zur Gottheit aufsteigen?

Features:
  • Thron des Bhaal: Reist in dem spannenden Finale der Bhaalbrut-Saga nach Tethyr und erkundet die mit Schätzen gefüllten Hallen der Wachenden Festung!
  • Faust des Gefallenen: Helft dem Sonnenseelenmönch Rasaad dabei, auf seiner Suche nach Vergeltung Frieden zu finden und bestimmt das Schicksal einer ketzerischen Sekte.
  • Der Blutzoll: Begleitet den Finsteren Streiter Dorn bei seinen Versuchen, die immer blutigeren Forderungen seines dunklen Herrn zu erfüllen, indem er eine Schneise der Zerstörung durch die Reiche schlägt.
  • Eine Stimme im Dunkeln: Rekrutiert die mysteriöse Diebin Hexxat und helft ihr bei ihrer Mission, lange verschollene Artefakte aus Gräbern zu bergen, die über ganz Faerûn verstreut sind.
  • Wilde Jagd: Schützt die Unschuldigen und kämpft mit der Hasardeurin Neera gegen eine skrupellose Schule der Roten Magier.
  • Die Schwarzen Gruben II - Gladiatoren von Tay: Erforscht die taktischen Tiefe des Dungeons & Dragons-Kampfes auf den höchsten Stufen. Wiegelt Eure Wärter gegeneinander auf, während Ihr Fallen entgeht und mit Halb-Leichnamen, Gedankenschindern und den legendären Githyanki um Euer Leben kämpft.
  • Einfacher Mehrspieler-Modus: Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition macht es Euch leicht, Mehrspielersitzungen zu finden, zu hosten und ihnen beizutreten, selbst wenn Ihr euch hinter einer Firewall befindet.

Bevor ich mir einen PC zulegte war ich Amiga 500 und SNES Nutzer. Danach folgte die Ps1.
Baldurs Gate 1 war der Grund warum ich mir damals meinen ersten PC zulegte. Das ein Kauf des 2. Teils folgen sollte, war für mich so sicher wie das Amen in der Kirche.

Baldurs Gate 2 übertrifft den ohnehin schon sehr guten ersten Teil nochmals und ist ein echtes RPG Monstrum. Gehört für mich bis heute zu den besten Rollenspielen überhaupt. Wer die Grafik nicht scheut, da diese doch recht altbacken wirken kann (Dennoch in meinen Augen was sehr schönes hat, wenn man nicht zu nah scrollt), der bekommt hier ein wirkliches Meisterwerk geboten, das schon alleine durch die Gesinnungen Gut und Böse und die vielen verschiedenen Entscheidungen mehrere male durchzuspielen lohnt.

Anmerkung:
Viele Konsolenspieler/BG-Besitzer der Konsolenversion werden sich hier vllt nicht hin verirren. Aber ich rate dringendst von einem Kauf der PS4 Version ab, die es im Pack mit beiden Teilen inklusiver beider Pit Add Ons, Legenden der Schwertküste und Dragonsphear gibt. Während Teil 1 noch gut lief. Ist Dragonsphear ungelogen über hundert mal ausgestiegen. Teil 2 ist sogar so heftig verbuggt, das ein weiterkommen unmöglich ist.
Trotz Updates und Neuinstallation steigt es bei mir immer beim verlassen des Brückenviertels aus, sobald zum ersten mal der NPC Neera aufgetaucht ist (Ist das nur bei mir so?). Das ist bei der PC Version (Baldurs Gate 2) nicht der Fall. Also Finger weg von der Konsolenfassung. Greift lieber zur Original Release Version oder zu dieser hier. Die läuft bei mir wie geschmiert.
Zum Glück habe ich nur 12 Euro für die Konsolenfassung ausgegeben. Weiß schon warum ich nichts zu Release kaufe.

Weiterhin möchte ich anmerken, auch wenn hier einige schreiben, das die deutsche Audio Spur fehlt, wurde diese mittlerweile nachgereicht. Den Frust darüber anfänglich kann ich allerdings verstehen. Außerdem wurden zwar alle deutschen Original Audio Files von damals wieder mit integriert. Aber die der neuen 4 NPC's hört man leider nur in Englisch.

Es ist Riesig! Es ist hässlich! Es ist kompliziert, verwirrend und klunky. Die Steuerung ist ein Horror und Du kriegst aber auch so gar nichts erklärt!!!

Es ist einfach PERFEKT und WUNDERSCHÖN!

Und es stimmt, lieber Leser, das hier ist eines der allerbesten Spiele, die jemals programmiert wurden.
Und ja, das war auch damals schon nicht der technisch letzte Schrei, aber was solls? Damals waren Rollenspiel Fans noch nicht Witcher 3 verwöhnt, wir wussten noch, dass Grafik teuer ist und nahmen deshalb die gute, alte eigene Fantasie dazu. ;-)

Und mal ehrlich, wenn man sich sagt: Das ist ja retro, das muss so aussehen, dann ist die Grafik ja doch noch ganz hübsch anzusehen.
Oder auch nicht.
Aber darum gehts auch nicht. Um was es eigentlich geht, ist das Spiel und das ist wirklich perfekt. Und ja, das ist ein großes Wort und ja, es hat viele Mängel, die man heutzutage nie und nimmer akzeptieren würde...
Und Du fragst Dich zurecht, wie etwas bei so vielen Mängeln denn nur perfekt sein kann. Tja, das rechne ich Dir hier schnell vor:
Das Spiel bietet in Sachen Story, Umfang, Stimmung, Komplexität, Immersion, Sound, Wiederspielwert und nostalgischer Verklärtheit einfach mehr als die möglichen hundert Prozent und schon geht die Milchmädchenrechnung eben auf. Perfekt. Hab ich doch gesagt...

Ich geb Dir mal ein Bespiel anhand der Story:
Amnesie Held wacht auf und muss seine eigene dunkle Vergangenheit erforschen um großes Unheil zu verhindern.

Genial! Oder? Und ja, ich hab das natürlich extra so hingeklatscht, aber mehr steckt im Grunde auch wirklich nicht dahinter. Ganz schön lahm...
Aber wie das Spiel diese Allerweltsgeschichte dann erzählt, wie viel Freiheit Du hast, um sie selbst zu erleben und zu beeinflussen, das grenzt an ein Spielewunder. Wirklich fast alles ist möglich, wenn Du Bock hast, dann werd halt so richtig böse und pfeif auf die Rettung der Welt, es ist immer Deine eigene Entscheidung.
Und mehr will ich Dir auch nicht verraten, keiner mag fiese Spoiler, also musst Du schon selbst ran und alles entdecken.

Noch dazu erlebst Du alles wieder mit interessanten, schrulligen und durchgeknallten Mitstreitern, die untereinander so herrlich funktionieren (oder halt gerade auch nicht) , dass es eine reine Freude ist. Noch mehr als in Teil eins wirst Du Dich als Teil einer lebenden, organischen Gruppe fühlen, die durch die Lande streift und das ist bis heute unerreicht.

Zum Umfang sag ich mal nichts, allein die Charaktererstellung lässt selbst die stahlharten Superschwergewichte im Genre von heute aussehen, wie ne lässige Runde Candy Crush. Bis Dein Char endlich so steht, wie Du den haben willst, kann schon mal nen Stündchen ins Fantasyland ziehen. Oder zwei... oder drei...und das ist kein Witz...wirklich nicht.... siehst Du mich etwa lachen....hahaha....na gut jetzt doch, ein Witz ists aber trotzdem nicht...

Ist das aber mal geschafft gehts auch ran an die ersten Quests. Und die haben es in sich. Storytelling, Questdesign und NPCs suchen ihres gleichen. Vielleicht kann in ganz weiter Ferne ein Witcher 3 da gerade noch mithalten, aber eben auch wirklich nur ganz knapp. Jede Quest hat einen Sinn, sinnloses Sammeln und Sachen rumschleppen gibts nicht, immer wird eine schöne, tragische, witzige oder spannende Story erzählt und selbst jede magische Waffe, die Du findest erzählt Dir ihre ganz eigene Lebensgeschichte.
Und ja, hol die Lesebrille raus, es wird reichlich Buchstabensalat aufgetischt, aber der schmeckt hier eben auch sooooo gut...

Und ich könnte Dir jetzt noch vom tollen Kampfsystem (Priester und Magier haben zusammen über 250 Spells, also fang schonmal an weise auszuwählen) vorschwärmen, dass taktisch unendlich viel zu bieten hat...
Oder ich könnte auf die vielen richtig tollen Mods hinweisen, oder darauf, dass ein Spiel dass über 20 Jahre nach Erscheinen noch so gepflegt wird, ja wirklich toll sein muss...
Ich könnte auf die brillante Vertonung zu sprechen kommen...
Oder darauf, dass Du lieb gewonnene Charaktere aus Teil eins wiedersehen wirst...
Oder darauf, dass Du hier vollkommen falsch bist, falls Du Teil eins noch nicht gespielt hast und erstmal da anfangen solltest ;-)

Und und und... Ich kann Dir hier ewig was erzählen von Genialität und tausend Wundern...
...oder...
...ich lass es Dich einfach selbst erleben und weise Dich darauf hin, dass Du Dir das Bundle, dass es hier gibt zulegen solltest. Im Sale gibts Baldurs Gate 1 plus 2, Planescape Torment und Icewind Dale für fast geschenkt.
Bis Du damit durch bist, könnte es ein wenig dauern. Also gibt deinem Neugeborenen nen dicken Kuss, wenn Du mit den Games durch bist, ist der kleine Racker wahrscheinlich grad mit der Uni fertig...

Ja, so lange wirst Du Spaß haben beim Spielen, toll oder? Und deshalb wünsch ich Dir den auch, wie immer halt...

...viel Spaß beim zocken. ;-)

Es ist lange her, als ich das Original spielte und als nun die EE Version im Angebot für nur wenige Euro war, gab es keinen Grund, nicht mal zu testen.
Ich hatte in den Jahrzehnten dazwischen schon mal mit den Fan-Modifikationen gespielt und war auch damit zufrieden - aber ebenso neugierig war ich auf das aufpolierte BG 1 und 2 *schmunzelt*

Nachdem ich nun einige Spieldurchläufe mit BG1 hinter mit hatte, befinde ich mich nun mit meiner rechtschaffen guten Truppe (Paladina halt) auf halbem Weg und bin bisher nicht enttäuscht.
Ich gebe zu, im Vergleich zur BG1 EE fehlen mir noch einige Vertonungen und Charaktersprechstimmen, aber es ist gut erhalten und recht positiv eingefügt.
Ich freue mich schon mit neutraler und böser Truppe die 3 neuen NSC dieser Art genauer anzuschauen.

Ich würde aus Nostalgie keine 20 € oder mehr ausgeben, aber 10 oder weniger erscheinen mir kein Problem zu sein.

Wer die guten alten Rollenspiele schätzt, wird hier gut bedient.
Alleine eine bessere KI - gilt auch für Icewind Dale - wäre hoch angebracht, die Figuren schaffen nicht einmal, bei Türen hinauszugehen, immer wieder bleibt eine bzw. mehrere hängen oder sie blockieren sich selbst.
Hallo Programmierer, hier besteht sehr viel Nachholbedarf.
Mir persönlich sind zuviele NPGs vorhanden, da wäre ein 7. Platz hilfreich gewesen, denn einige sind ziemlich schwach vorgegeben.

DER RPG-Klassiker! Die Baldurs Gate Saga ist nicht ohne Grund noch heute die Spielereihe mit der sich alle nicht-FPS-Rollenspiele vergleichen müssen. Der zweite Teil setzt hier gegenüber dem (exzellenten) ersten Teil noch zusätzliche Akzente und bietet noch mehr Spielspaß und Wiederspielbarkeit. In der Enhanced Edition läuft das Spiel problemlos auf neueren Systemen und unterstützt moderne Auflösungen.

Wer die Reihe noch nicht kennt, Rollenspiele liebt und mal Abwechslung von den modernen FPS-RPGs braucht - oder wen schlicht die Nostalgie plagt: unbedingt spielen!

I somehow missed BG and BG 2 when I first discovered different classic RPG titles back in the good 'ole days. I totally sunk in Fallout 2 but I have never tried another famous Interplay classic until now.

As much as I still prefer the post-apocalyptic setting over medieval fantasy, I immediately fell in love with Baldur's Gate 2. Not much to say about the Enhanced Edition as I didn't even read about the differences between the remake and the original installment (and to be honest, I don't really care about them).

After nearly 20 hours in-game, I can already say it's a 10/10 for me and I haven't even finished Chapter 2 yet. The depth of this game is overwhelming and I only regret I didn't pick it up years ago. I won't bother describing all the treasures BG 2 has to offer as other beautiful souls already did it with the utmost care a long time before me.

The game itself is nice and all. Good ol Baldurs Gate 2.

My issue is save games.

I play this game mostly when disconnected. Holy excrement, yes that still exists.
So I spend like 20 hrs playing the game, then I get back online. And this is where everything gets fornicated up. Can't create new saves. Game tells me it saves correctly, but for some reason the saves aren't there when I wanna load.

Cloud saves are disabled both ingame and in steam, cuz who needs cloud saves when ye can't access the internet anyways? Yet for some reason, the moment steam connects online the game suddenly stops being able to save games.

One of my favorite games of all time! I love how many different things there are to do and that there are often multiple different ways to go about doing them. Endlessly memorable companion characters who react to your actions and banter with each other. Great callbacks to the previous game without depending entirely on having previously played it.

A timeless classic enhanced to work with newer systems, Baldur's Gate II is one game that is just as great now as it was in its original release. Its worth playing this 2nd edition D&D adventure at least once. The multiplayer is good, and the added ability to build your own party now in the single player allows you to enjoy the game as either the original adventure, or an adventure of your own design. I recommend this game to any RPG fans who enjoy a more old school style of game.

Well, it's a little embarrassing that I have 1816 hours logged on this game ~ I have a habit of going AFK and leaving my screen turned off, rather than quitting and reloading. It's hard to believe the Baldur's Gate games are so old now, because somehow they just don't feel dated, and are some of the most re-playable games I've ever played. There are so many character classes, skills, and specialisations to choose between, and so many in-game decisions, that it feels like I'll never run out of new options to explore. So far, I've made three play-throughs ~ one as a Ranger with the Archer Specialism, one as a Wild Mage who was super powerful but had permanently accidentally polymorphed herself into a cute little chicken, and my current main character is a Paladin Cavalier. There are many interesting companion characters to choose between for your party, and their brilliant and sometimes hilarious dialogue makes them feel like real people, not just compilations of stats and abilities. In particular, Minsc and Boo are truly legendary, and Jan Jansen has some fascinating stories about turnips. I love CRPG's that are full of decisions, where the main character is customisable, and the plot is immersive, and this game has all of those qualities on a spectacular level.

Long live the King



Thinking back on the turn of the century, it certainly felt like the golden age of gaming. We were soaring to greater heights and the bar was raised every year with new groundbreaking titles. It was an era that came to define gaming, and I loved every moment of it.

BG1 struck my existence me like an asteroid, it was immense and lasting. For me it was the catalyst into the realms of D&D and made RPGs my go-to genre. It was true love and nothing could possibly top it... then BG2 happened. No form of diction exists in me to put into words something that would bring justice at how much this game means to me. The nostalgic memories of a child playing on a school night until the sun rises, just because one more hour wasn't enough. The hours spent rolling new characters, being glued to a creation system that was just that engrossing. Lines of dialogue that survived the decades, fresh in my memory and always on the tip of my tongue, ready to be repeated.

Time has passed, but legends never die. I bought the Enhanced Edition with expectations riding high, but climbing back into that familiar seat and taking old faithful out for a spin melted away the years. I was taken right back in time, back to the old computer study room, stressing over my poor time management skills, at least I no longer have to worry about being late for school though.

Pros
  • A beautifully crafted world with quests and events that will last well within hundreds of hours of gameplay
  • Characters so memorable they will stick with you for many years
  • Gameplay and mechanics masterfully built from the 2nd Edition D&D ruleset that translates a complicated system into something easily understood while keeping the depth


Cons
  • If you're a Baldur's Gate purest, then perhaps the additions brought in by Beamdog might not sit right with you

In pen and paper Dungeons & Dragons the max level for a character is typically 20, but very few people play up to that point because it takes a lot of time and the power creep is really intense: suddenly characters can backstab you 10 times before you touch the ground, kill with words, stop time, alter reality, clone themselves, shapechange into OP monsters, etc.

The max level in this game (varying with class) is between 30 and 40.

OH BOY, DO I RECOMMEND THIS GAME. The sheer insanity and bravado of Black Isle/Bioware in developing something like this. No surprise Larian took the coward's route and rebooted back to level 1 to 4. I believe we won't be seeing another high level D&D videogame never again in our lives, it's literally impossible to balance - but ironically, there's so much fun to be had in the absolute mess of magic effects going off.

And if you're looking for story and lore instead of exploding dragons into chunks, this game got you covered too! The Forgotten Realms is one of the most interesting developed settings of D&D. It has over 292 novels written about it - not even counting rulebooks for actually playing D&D or other indirectly related series like Planescape. This is literally the deepest lore you can find in a non-real life based videogame.

I can't begin to guess how many hours I spent playing this series when the originals were released, but I know that I took at least 7 characters from the start of BG1 through the end of TOB, and I loved every minute of it. I finally got around to playing the enhanced editions and all I can say is that it was well worth the revisit. Steam now does me the kindness of tracking my total time played, so I can say that with this one character I've spent another 220 hours in this world and story.

I love the resurgence of CRPGs lately, including all the greats (PoE I/II, D:OS I/II, Tyranny, PF:KM), and I've played them all. Some have ranked among my favorites of all time, each with their own strengths, but having just finished the story of the Bhaalspawn saga once again, I have to say that there's just nothing I've ever experienced that can compare with regards to the feeling of growing from a first level adventurer who is genuinely afraid of fighting a group of goblins, kobolds, or wolves, to genuinely feeling like a godling ready to ascend to true divinity.

Add in writing that is hilarious and heart-wrenching in turns, and yeah, I can now appreciate why I was so hooked as a teen.

I think I'm finally (finally) done with BG2. I think I could pretty much recite the whole script by now. It's pretty much my favourite game of all time. Not the best game, perhaps, by an objective standard. Certainly not flawless. Even less so with the new 'Enhanced Edition' characters. But still, my favourite.

The characters you meet, the places you visit, the story you get swept up into, the power that you acquire, the adversaries you conquer - and the sheer number of different ways you can do it all - that's some of what accounts for my 1422 hours in this game. And there's something else sprinkled on top of it all... a bit of magic, for want of a better word, which makes this game so much more than the sum of its parts, and which kept me coming back way past the point where there was anything new to do or discover.

Baldurs Gate II Enhanced Edition Review



Role-Playing Games have come and gone, A lot just didn’t make it and were quickly discarded by gamers and critics alike only a few manage to cut it off all over the years to gain that legendary status among hardcore fans of the genre. One of the such is without any qualms the Baldurs Gate franchise. Picking Off right where the prequel left off, Baldurs Gate II Enhanced Edition is nothing but yet another worthy upgrade in the iconic Bhalspawn saga. With enhanced graphics and the same nostalgic feel to it, Beamdog studios nailed it off with their remakes, delivering high-quality upgrades and the price is not a foot and a leg. To be honest, what Atari pulled off by considering remakes to this iconic franchise could be considered in the modern world as a fool’s doing since these remakes cost a tonne of money and there’s no guarantee that they’ll reel in enough to cover their development expenses at the very least, yet Atari took its chances and here we are 7-8 years down the line praising this franchises’ brilliance.


About Baldurs Gate II Enhanced Edition



Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition is a remaster of the role-playing video game Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and its expansion Baldurs Gate II: Throne of Bhaal The game was launched on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition features new content and widescreen compatibility.
The remaster was developed by Overhaul Games, a division of Beamdog, and was published by Atari. The release includes remastered versions of the original Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and its expansions under an enhanced version of the Infinity Engine, known as the Infinity Enhanced Engine. Overhaul Games initially planned to release it in 2013, after the release of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, but due to contractual issues with Atari, Beamdog announced that the Enhanced would not be launched. On August 15, 2013, Beamdog CEO Trent Oster announced that the contractual issues have been resolved and that news regarding Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition was forthcoming. This edition was released on November 15, 2013, on PC. it was later released for Mobile devices with Crossplay functionality and Full-screen utilization.

Gameplay



Baldurs Gate II Enhanced Edition retains the same core gameplay mechanics as its Prequel, with the new clean gameplay UI, and customizable font size of the text. The graphics have been seriously worked upon as well, delivering a good appeal visually, most of the other things like the party system, the open-ended quest system, and the isometric CRPG system remain unchanged. You can read further about the gameplay in my previous review on Baldurs Gate I Enhanced Edition here. The Story is set in the Forgotten Realms of Continent of Faerun, now I don’t want to spoil any more details about it, but it certainly is imbued with strong fantasy writing albeit at times not as strong as its prequel nonetheless its certain to get you hooked, that is if you manage to get a break from doing all the side quests hehe.


Pros



  • Plot is Nicely executed and is certain to get you hooked
  • Enhanced Graphics
  • Clean UI and Custom Font Size
  • Cross-Play between Mobile and PC


Cons



  • Same Problem as the previous game, too aged for young audiences to enter


Final Thoughts



To sum it up, Baldurs Gate II Enhanced Edition is a great RPG game and still lives up to all its praises. Both Games Baldurs Gate I and II redefined the RPG genre when they first came out back in the day, and the enhanced edition ports just solidify the thought. Granting you countless hours of true RPG exploration with your own specifically designed character, a well-rounded party, and an open-end quest system, this is something nobody wants to sleep upon. So what are you waiting for, go out there and live out this entertaining yet iconic Bhalspawn Saga !

I honestly have no idea how they packed so much stuff into one game. Like 100+ hrs in and I'm pretty sure I'm not even like a third of the way through the main questline. F*ck knows where my companion and that guy Irenicus have gone. Cowled who? Ya boi has already killed a dragon I met in a tavern, 2 beholders, a bunch of rakshashas and is currently busy trying to reseal some demon on the bottom floor of some 9 tiered murder house. The side quests don't even feel like side quests in the traditional sense with respect to DOSII and BGIII which have much more guided and linear storylines (even with their large areas to explore between parts). Like 1 hr in and having just left Irenicus' kink dungeon, I finally can go to the town gates to explore outside the city, but lo and behold during a quick stop in the tavern to rest, I discover a secret hole behind some random wall and get annihilated by some lich with timestop and immunity to all my spells, magical and normal weapons.

This game is excellent and although clearly dated in some respects (e.g. graphics), it has managed to perfectly recreate the very essence of playing D&D with a group, with new quests and hooks every session and things to discover and delve into in even the most mundane of areas. High level gameplay is an added bonus. My only real gripe (admittedly mostly my own fault) is that I have only ever played 5e and 1e pathfinder so I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of AD&D such as calculation of saving throws and class levelling. Nonetheless, this hasn't stopped me from having a blast so definitely grab it when it's on sale.

Baldur’s Gate saga is an almost perfect transposition of the Hero’s Journey as described by Joseph Campbell.
Buy it for the epic story of a young hero who fights to come to terms with their divine heritage, play it for the great characters, excellent quests and engrossing depiction of the Forgotten Realms.
It has dungeons, it has dragons, it has a memorable villain who always seems to be one step ahead of you! Unfortunately, it also has a dated gameplay based on AD&D ruleset and some amateurish content written specifically for the enhanced edition.
Still worth every cent if you like rpg, though.

I'm an old guy and have been playing computer games since the very beginning. I spent many an hour playing the Baldurs Gate and Icewind Dale series. It's good to see them back modified to run on the new hardware. They did a nice job. I like the new easy loot feature, well done.
What can I say this is one of classics and after you play through the game you will get attached to the players. The fights can be really tough and I'm talking on normal settings. I remember there are several Lich kings ( I think they are) one is in a cellar at the beginning of the game as you go to exit the city. Don't even bother trying to kill it till you can cast time stop too. Once your wizard(s) can cast time stop you will be OP but then again your enemies will be too. It's some real fun battles.
Looking forward to getting the upgraded Icewind Dale too.
Again TY Devs for this re-release.
Enjoy :)

Baldur’s Gate 2 is the legendary fantasy RPG, originally developed by Bioware in 2000. This is one of my all time favourite games which I finished multiple times, although the last time was probably 15 years ago.

Replaying the game again in the form of this Enhanced Edition was very enjoyable. Newer games have better graphics, but BG2 still has outstanding story, characters and combat. And there’s tons of content. It took me 64 hours to complete the main game, about half of which was doing side quests, and I haven’t started the Throne of Bhaal expansion yet, which adds around 20 more hours.

Combat is more varied and tactical than BG1, because your party can become much higher level, giving them access to more advanced spells allowing them to summon powerful demons, create poisonous death clouds, instantly kill enemies and resurrect fallen comrades.

There are many different types of enemies to fight, including Human bandits and wizards, wildlife, giant spiders, vampires, demons, mind flayers, beholders and dragons. Many enemies can disable your party members with spells or abilities such as hold, charm, confuse or stun. Like many older games, the difficulty can sometimes be challenging, until you figure out the correct tactic. (My favourite moment of this playthough was after trying to kill a Black Dragon several times and getting my entire party slaughtered, I opened up the next attempt by casting Finger of Death and instantly killed it).

Although the party size is 6 including your main character, I kept swapping 10 different companions in and out of my party so I could do their personal quests. It feels like companions have their own place in the world, and don’t just exist to do your quest. Depending on their alignment, companions might not like each other and will argue among themselves as you wander around. On one occasion, two of my companions actually got into a fight, resulting in one killing the other. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this happen in any other RPG.

Baldur’s Gate 2 is a must play for every RPG fan.

Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition

One of the best RPG's ever made. The Enhanced Edition is great as well. I remember first played the Original Version renting it from a video club back in the day :D . It's also the 1st Baldur's Gate title I 've ever played. Awesome story. 2nd Edition D&D rules.

I used to MUD back in the day. Avatar was my game of preference, and man, did I spend hours on there. Life took some turns, and I went away from gaming, especially from anything like MUDs where there was a definite time commitment required.

I started playing BG2EE and got a bit discouraged. There was so much to do, and I didn't understand all of the mechanics of the game. Fortunately, there is such an active, and engaged fan base to this game, the moment I reached out for help, there was plenty around. I'm still figuring things out, but am loving the depth and breadth of gameplay here - so much to learn, and so many ways to do things. Loving this game as it's rekindling my love of the RPG.

Also, a great game to play while working from home :D

GAMEPLAY: 3/5
Gameplay is in the form of a standard top-down isometric third-person perspective which works perfectly in a strategic open-world RPG like Baldur's Gate II. Controls and UI looks really good and is generally simple to use. Problems start to appear in fights that can become very messy in the later stages of the game because of ability clutter and janky movement. The game is also quite difficult for beginners of D&D style games and even playing on easy was a challenge.

SOUND: 4/5
Amazing soundtrack that make you feel like you were in an fantasy world in conjunction with some great battle themes as well. Only thing to note is the lack of different voices. I kept hearing the same generic female/male spell caster voice being repeated in every fight.

STORYLINE: 4/5
Storyline was incredibly interesting and was connected to the previous game very well. The characters you recruit have their own adventures and stories which I thought was one of the highlights story-wise while playing. I could not give it a 5/5 though since it was not as solid and on the same level as Baldur's Gate I's story which is a masterpiece. Some parts of the story were just a bit predictable.

WORLD: 5/5
Great world to explore with many interesting locations and climates to visit. There is not as many locations to visit compared to Baldur's Gate I, but I see this as a plus since the map was quite cluttered in BG1 with a lot of empty locations that did not add anything worth exploring. The Throne of Bhaal DLC has a lot of interesting fresh locations to visit as well even though the world is considerably smaller.

CHARACTERS: 5/5
In any RPG you expect the characters you interact with to be riveting, and Baldur's Gate II will not let you down. Hearing all my companions talk to each other and to me expressing their individual thoughts and emotions felt very real and not scripted at all. I could sit and read/listen to the characters talking for hours since they are written so well. Definitely the strongest aspect of the game. Also some great romance if you are into that.

VISUALS: 4/5
The visual style of the game gave me a real sense of adventure. The world contained some wonderful architecture on the buildings, spine-chilling dungeons and lively colourful forests. The graphics do not need to be high resolution to be able to convey this detailed world. The only problem I had was in the fights as I mentioned earlier. The fights can easily become very cluttered and confusing with all the characters overlapping each other and making it difficult to see the enemies without focusing on their bright red health bars.

While I can understand why Baldur's Gate was so praised in its time, I cannot recommend it today as it feels incredibly dated. The gameplay is tied to a very arcane ruleset and will be hard to enjoy for anyone unfamiliar with old-school DnD. The story and characters, while serviceable, also aren't on the level of other CRPGs such as Planescape Torment.

This is the best RPG that graced the medium of gaming I think in a lot of aspects and in a lot of ways, objectively and subjectively so. Game is Arcana in phantasm form.

Its isometric view and in Baldur's Gate 1 apparent lack of content; a game which is just a precursor for 2 basically, like a little taste of what is yet to come needs some getting used to and patience to get to 2 basically but once attuned and adjusted for tolerance, engaged and open to the experience you basically get a very lengthy, thorough, deep and methodically complete package that excels in ways to make the game feel more like an excel sheet of information, for It 'reads' like a book.

All thus so sayeth the great Alaundo.

You don't 'play' it you try to comprehend and understand it for its basic mechanical appeal adds a very great added value to it. You are in control and you manipulate the game in steps. You sway the player characters and other allies like NPC's into victory. You create the world by letting events unfold. This is really interesting.

Not to mention all the interesting depth of characters (creation), (enthusiastic) enhancements and (other) magic(s), items and armor. Even the game User Interface: it's quite overwhelming and maybe little bit off putting to a lot of people, but hold your ground!

This game is really immersive and huge basically content wise and delivery wise, it's what's expected from it. It's what's expected from you: to try and master it. You got to understand that this game I think came about when such complex pieces of work really weren't an usual ordeal but had a good potential to shine through and hence therefore are brought forth into existence presented in a very convincing fashion that you'd almost dream it a plausible place. The world breathes, it lives it cycles, it dies.

There is really an amazing world at your fingertips basically filled with micromanaging, tools and loot at your disposal.

The game is linear however, even though you may choose to partake in it in whichever way you see fit, the truth is that in order to progress the game's events are tied into the story which itself is bound to chapters that you have to progress through in order to make progress and going or turning back at any point doesn't feel necessary because there's nothing there once you cleared out all the monsters and achieved all the quests and objectives.

Needles to say.

The game is full of content, and exploration and exploring next to the basically smooth combat, which may not seem at first that way until you familiarize yourself with it (and the games inherit Real-Time with Pause function) brings fort an explosion of impressions to tingle your senses and keep you thinking. I think that it is appealing for a really wide and huge audience because the game itself when looking at it from out one piece is like a masterful theatrical piece that just thrusts you through the emotions, ranging from good to bad but everything in all, it's really a masterfully crafted experience that I think a lot of gamers should give a try.

Sooner or later you'll return to it, probably either wanting to finish or just asking for more. One thing is certain and that is you will be much more mature.

Twice the Danger + Twice the Drama = Ageless Classic



To say that Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn is an RPG masterpiece and the best D&D video game campaign is an understatement; finely tuned and perfected formula that powers the story and gameplay of BGII was adapted to all Bioware games henceforth and nearly all other western RPG games, and it’s still used to this day.

Pros:
+ Story feels grandiose and stakes feel heavier than ever
+ All companions now have layers of complexities, opinions and personal quests
+ Memorable and relatable villains
+ Choices matter this time and can return much later to bite you back, thus making for excellent drama
+ 2D art direction is beautiful, detailed and imaginative
+ Combat is even more challenging and strategic than before, but it’s also well balanced and not too punishing
+ Your main character gets to have the most well developed story and character arc above all others, thus making them feel truly special
+ Best dungeon levels and challenges you can find in RPG to date
+ Throne of Bhaal expansion offers a great ending to the Bhaalspawn saga, and is an excellent and lengthy extension upon the base game
+ No level caps make you feel like a proper demigod in the later chapters

Cons:
- The middle of the story tends to drag on, especially the Spellhold Asylum chapter
- Just as the game doubles on story and dialogue, it also doubles on demanding combat encounters that can feel too much and off-putting to some players
- Beamdog’s narrative and gameplay design contribution simply cannot keep the level and pace of the quality the original game sets as a new standard

Story continues right where the first BG ended and the pace and the tempo really picks up and never let go: main character is immediately thrown into a dire situation, their friends are in danger, and they are outnumbered and outgunned. This is followed by a short, peaceful respite in the wondrously designed city of Athkatla where you pick up new quests, talk to NPCs and your companions, learn more about the world around you and assess the situation before things again turn perilous and dire. As the story progresses, you will learn more about your companions, their hopes and desires that may include you in it, but their sufferings as well as they are tied to your destiny as the walking embodiment of the dreaded prophecy from the past. Main and side quests have also been massively improved to avoid the pitfalls of being rote and bland, now nearly every quest is set as a mini dramatic plot of its own, always offering more than one way to finish them, making questing and exploring fun, exciting and immersive. Even your companions have personal quests that need to be resolved before time runs out or they will leave your party.

Your travels will take you across the continent, visiting many unique locations such as a powerful and multi-cultural port of coins Athkatla, a place of barter and worship of a missing deity in the exotic city of Trademeet , the mysterious and dangerous Umar Hills, a majestic castle with a long history and burden called de'Arnise Hold, inhospitable and nightmarish caves of the Underdark and many more. Every location, person and monster is crafted in exquisite 2D detail, with BGII’s pixel and pastel-like art holding extremely well even today. The music by Michael Hoenig returns with some of the best medieval and fantasy gaming soundtrack to date, guaranteed to make you feel like you are wandering the streets of an ancient bustling city, making a drink and a laugh at the nearest inn, or fighting dragons while barely keeping you and your companions alive (unless you know exactly what you’re doing).

Since the main character starts from a fairly high level, combat was vastly improved to give players more options and tactics, making them nail-bitingly difficult but with enough space to forgive players a few mistakes. You will face even more mythical creatures and legendary foes than the previous game could offer; basically an all-star cast from the advanced D&D is here in full display. You and your troops will gain more abilities and powerful spells as you level up, thus always giving you chances to turn a seemingly hopelessly difficult battle into a resounding victory. Combat is still real-time with a pause button to give your characters commands like in the first BG, but the options here are greatly increased so you can win every encounter in myriad of ways, bordering on breaking the game. Make no mistake, BGII is not an easy game as your party can be just as easily wiped out as in the first game - sometimes you can lose in a split of a second, but Shadows of Amn is never unfair nor does it use cheap moves in a fight.

“Every memorable hero is defined by their villains” is a saying, and Baldur’s Gate II has three amazing ones that have their opinions, gravitas, they are worthy of your resentment but also of your sympathy as they do not do evil things because they can, they do it because they think they’re right and that their actions will yield a greater good or balance in the end. Coupled with the stellar voice acting from David Warner, B.J. Ward and Heidi Shannon, you will dread and eagerly await the next clash with these villains and their eventual downfall. Your companions also have equally amazing voiced lines, as well as nearly all other minor and major NPCs. And your character this time gets to be a true star of the story and a tragic hero/heroine as the choices you keep making shape your morality and how others perceive you, and these choices get to be heavier the further you travel. You also get to embrace or battle your inner, darker side given to you by a bloodline from an evil, dead god, and how you handle these terrifying powers will shape how your story ends.

Coupled with the main game - Shadows of Amn, players also get one of the best expansions – Throne of Bhaal, that ushers in the time of chaos and prophecy to the spotlight, how will you handle these dark times, and whether you embrace the prophecies or you try to fight the fated chains of events. What more could you want from a western RPG?

Well, there are a couple of minor problems Baldur’s Gate II carries: the middle section of the game in Brynnlaw and Spellhold Asylum do get to drag on unnecessarily with lots of combat encounters that can and will put off some players. Those who persevere will be rewarded however, as from this point on they will witness how Baldur’s Gate II turns from a very good RPG to a timeless classic. The other remaining nitpick I have is with the newly added additional content from Beamdog: In the first BG their writing and design was too rigid and predictable but it also did show a lot of promise. From BG expansion – Siege of Dragonspear and onwards sadly things turn to a more downer note; the general writing and the development of their NPCs/companions just cannot compare to the quality Bioware had, with more illogical and baffling choices that pile up before everything brakes in the stuff they added in the last expansion – Throne of Bhaal, where the dialogue is childish, voiced work is amateurish at best, and combat/quest design is just plain bad and uses cheap moves. These problems are just a bit of dirt on a perfectly polished diamond of a game, and do not reduce the original game’s greatness.

In all of Dragon Ages, Mass Effects, Witchers, Cyberpunk 2077s and countless other games, you can find a piece or a whole spark of innovation that Baldur’s Gate II: Shadow of Amn/Throne of Bhaal originally brought. The influence of this game is timeless; the work that Bioware did here is one of a true art form. Baldur’s Gate saga continues to amaze and capture the imagination of younger and older generation to this day, putting up a lovingly crafted world for you to explore; you just have to dare and make the first step.

This is another fantastic game, very good followup after the first BG.

This has the same combat style and classes, with some new things thrown in.

The plot / writing is still quite good.

Highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a good RPG.

Original high fantasy adventurism in RPG. BG2 is still giving this sentiment with its atmosphere. Do not expect narrative and tactical depth though. Especially in easy setting the game turn to hack&slash, but certain times it can be really challenging even in normal setting. If you like classic hero-driven chosen one stories BG2 is still rolling in 2020. If you are an old man feeding on nostalgia you don't need any reason at all.

Do you like inventory management?

Do you like fighting enemies with no idea at all what their strengths and weaknesses are?

Do you like terrible path-finding?

Do you like random items disappearing from your bag?

Do you like never ending trash fights?

Do you like having so many spells to choose from that you just stick to one or two and brute-force your way to victory?

Do you like having to click 'rest' every fight to change your mage's spells so you can Identify yet another Two Handed Sword +2?

Do you like a pretty decent, engaging story line and a multitude of side quests, colourful characters and interesting locations?

Do you like pretending it's twenty years ago, you're not grey-haired and you don't need to wear a face mask to pop down the shops for a Cornetto?

If you answer yes to these questions, this game is for you.

TL:DR The story is decent, the companions, side-quests and locations are good, but the combat became a chore for me after about forty hours, and I just wanted the game to end. I really wish there was a Maybe button as to whether I'd recommend this game. I've finished Shadows of Amn, the base game, and I am probably going to give Throne of Bhaal a miss. Am looking forward to BG3 though, I am so glad it's not going to be RTwP combat!

I'm sure this was a great game for its time, and it might even be great for someone who's coming back to it after having played it before, but as someone who has played it for the first time in 2020 I cannot recommend this game at the price of $20. The interface and combat feels very clunky by today's standards. But I will say that I was impressed with the voice acting and writing. Overall, there are many other games that I'd much rather play.

I have returned to Amn after 20 years. I played this to death when I was in college. I remember slogging through waves of gibberlings in the company of the entire cast. I attained godhood in various character classes and have even refused it so I may be with my mortal family. Demogorgon isn't so bad as the descent into the tower's depths. I only hated ONE part: the dungeon of Irenicus. Screw that.

The new NPCs and game refinements are totally worth it yo. Play it again! Kill Saemon Havarian again!

Baldur's Gate 2 is not only a perfect example of how a sequel should be made.
It's also the pinnacle of Bioware's creative efforts (though I know that some fans of Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins might disagree) in cooperation with the brilliant people from Black Isle Studios.
Not to forget that it's one of the best role-playing games ever made.
I couldn't go on and on, putting forth the logical reasons to support my claims, but I don't feel like doing that.
Why? Because the reason I love this game so much is really simple: it is one of the very few games that really made me experience my own personal adventure.
It made me feel like back when I first read the Lord of the Rings trilogy and accompanied Frodo and his friends on their adventure.
Only this time it is even better, because it's you who decides how the story will flow and how it will end.

If you enjoyed BG I, then BG II is a must-have as it continues the story of your main protagonist. BG II has a more complex combat system due to the higher levels of your characters, especially when it comes down to spell casting. The huge array of spells is what makes the encounters in BG II so engaging, whereas in BG I it’s mostly a few spells that you need to use to combat magic users.
Story-wise, BG II aims at being more epic by serving you liches, dragons and extra-planar creatures, while BG I mostly offers just ogres, bandits and creatures you would typically find in a medieval fantasy. Still, I would argue that the story of BG I is more elaborate and thought up. The Sword Coast is also more open-world than Amn – this quasi-linearity of Shadows of Amn was one of the things that disappointed me greatly during my first playthrough 16 years ago. Throne of Bhaal is even more linear, and it feels more like Icewind Dale.
Like in BG I, the Enhanced Edition brings new characters, but what it really does well is better interface, stats and overall polish.

Compared to BG I
+ more interesting and complex combat
+ more epic story
- smaller open-world
- less intricate story

The Baldur's Gate series has been an iconic game series for quite some time now. The game is a little older now, but still sports some of the more interesting gameplay ideas that made this (and similar games that followed) unique. A player-owned base, the expansive D&D universe, and decisions that affect later gameplay. By far the most important factor, Baldur's Gate II (and the entire series) has a good story. It keeps you interested and wanting to play to the end.

This is the first time i have played a Baldurs Gate game ( I am 31 ) missed out on PC gaming when i was younger. Mainly i play xbox one, Destiny 2, division 2 etc. I have picked this up due to the Covid 19 outbreak, as we are isolating, and i wanted a deep RPG to pass the time and to get stuck into, i am not disappointed, although this game is 20 years old, it still completely feels fresh i haven't been able to put it down! i was worried it would feel dated, but it has aged incredibly well!! Game play is challenging, i haven't been challenged in a game like this for a long time, the story is rich and enjoyable to follow with great voice acting and characters! fantastic spells and environments, i would recommend if you are looking for an RPG to get stuck into.

I really enjoyed this game! Here's my pros and cons of BGEE2:

Pros
-The story is easy to get in to and even if it's pretty simple it's told in a very captivating way, and the characters really elevates it.

-Well written characters and dialogue.

-Great voice acting.

-Great music.

-Great itemization. Good loot is rare but really good when you find it and doesn't become useless just because you gained a level.

-Beautifully illustrated world to explore. If you're not used to the dated look don't be surprised if it grows on you.

-This game is huge, and combined with the first game the complete adventure is massive. On top of that there's a lot of replay value here. Many different classes and sub classes, alignments, character specific quests etc. I've gotten many hours of quality entertainment out of a really small amount of money.

-I really like the real time with pause battle system.

-Great lore, you'll find it everywhere.


Cons
-This isn't a con really, more of a heads up: Some people seem to be able to just figure things out in game as they go. But for me, the high level second edition DnD rules on the Core rule difficulty setting really required knowledge of the mechanics of battle. Which I didn't have when i started with BGEE. I was used to hand holding, which I did not get here :) Once you get to the higher levels in BGEE2 a lot of enemies have immunities and offensive skills that required some reading up on what spells I had to use, how the dice rolls worked, why I turned in to a squirrel etc. Things like THACO felt counter intuitive as you may have heard. Eventually it clicked and I started to really enjoy it, but in the beginning it could feel a bit tedious and confusing. If you don't like having to use a manual or a wiki I'd definitely go for one of the smoother difficulties and just enjoy the story! I highly recommend looking at the pdf manual, you can find it for free here on the store page of the game. This youtuber also does a great job of breaking down some basics and has a couple of tutorials, here's one (this is for BGEE but was helpful for BGEE2 aswell):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsCyHIRTw9U

-Really a small thing: the pathfinding can be annoying sometimes.

-I had a bug where my journal didn't work properly, which almost turned out to be game braking but there are solutions to it. I've made a post about it. I have seen that there are other bugs but that's the only one I had.



I know I've talked a bit about BGEE in a review of BGEE2 but I think I wasn't alone in debating weather to play the first before the second etc. I think playing BGEE and exporting my character to BGEE2 really enhanced my experience with the latter and I absolutely recommend starting from the beginning. But I've seen many say they really enjoyed the second without playing the first. As a whole these are my favourite games of all the games I've played, and I think the first one is the favourite of the two. As I said, low level DnD rules is quite different from high level rules I felt, which affects gameplay. The first game felt more calm, is more about exploration and starting in humble beginnings and the second felt more focused on questing, the relationships, banter and was more action packed. They are both amazing at what they do so it just comes down to what type of gameplay you like.

Hope this helps!

Still the best CRPG and one of the best games ever made. Good to great companions with a ton of options, amazing battle/enemy variety, perfect difficulty, good main storyline, memorable side quests, awesome mod support, tons of content, fun builds, quality music.

I didn't get the chance to play the series when I was young, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. I got this game to scratch an itch that more modern and online rpg can't quite reach, and to learn more about DnD lore since I play more Pathfinder. The game follows the rules of DnD 2nd edition, which uses terminology that could be confusing for the modern 5h edition player might not get (believe it or not, 200h + of game time and I only know that your armor class needs to be low and not high, without knowing the actual mechanic)

Micro management is a big thing in this game, even more so if you love spellcasters. You can, however, let the AI choose its own way of fighting, but it generally won't touch your spell list too much unless it's to cast an Healing spell a bit too late for your survival, which is why certain things are better left in your hands.

The game may be old, but the story holds up with a nice cast of side characters that you can eventually recruit and exchange in your party, each having their own personality, goals and quests. Each quest gives life to the game in different ways, may it be a revange plot, the pursuit of power, a rescue mission, etc.

I'd recommend it if you are more open-minded to older mechanics like Real Time with Pause, like Pillars of Eternity, which was inspired by this very game. The game is great!
