Newbie RPG fans Really Not recommended

Unless.... First thing first. If you never played DnD ever, I really recommend to start with Baldurs Gate, because the lower starting classes and therefore difficulty. But if you committed yourself and ready to thoroughly learn Thac0 and spells (there are a lots), so fighting, you are good to go. Just don't complain if you a casual player because its not at all, but you'll see eventually! :P And there is no shame Resting in the game. ;)

Game too buggy to play

I have played from the beginning multiple times and always have to start over because it will not let me save the game. I have tried multiple fixes from various web sources, but nothing seems to work. At this point I cannot play it and because its been more than 30 days I am stuck with it. Not happy. Will not purchase from this developer again.

Nice, but too expensive

It's Baldur's Gate alright. And the graphical improvements are a godsend (yes, I know that the vanilla game has a high resolution mod, but for me at least the EE fix works better. ONCE YOU DISABLE THE UGLY CHARACTER OUTLINES THAT IS). There's also some new content; new classes and such for what I can tell. It's somewhat interesting, but there are mods out there that do the same thing just as well, so this is zero-sum. By the way, while BGtweaks works, many vanilla trilogy mods still don't work. The deal-killer is the price. Spin it any way you like, these improvements are just not worth the money when you can get the original saga for a third of the price. It's still the same game. I only got it because there was a 85% discount. I advise you wait for the same, or a better one.

Greatest RPG of all time.

Baldur's Gate II is, in this humble reviewer's opinion, the greatest PC RPG ever made. This is doubly true if you enjoy party-based cooperative questing. The writing is top-notch and the joinable party members are colorful without seeming absurd (usually). The Dungeons and Dragons fantasy world is engrossing and, after the prologue dungeon, manages to largely avoid the tired and overdone "grittiness" of many recent PC adventures. The brother and sister team of main villains are both intimidating and tragic in their backstory as it is revealed throughout the adventure. The voice acting hits the perfect notes almost universally. The combat is tactically rich, especially in the area of spell-based protections and piercing. For example, your warriors may be able to tear an unprotected enemy wizard to shreds in seconds, but you will often find that their attacks are deflected harmlessly by the wizard's protective enchantments unless your own mage has a counterspell to pierce his shield. The enemies are varied in their designs and abilities, requiring the party to change tactics in many cases to avoid being, to use one of the most insidious examples, vaporized by the eye lasers of a group of beholders. Although my description of the tactics in the game sound reminiscent of several other RPGs, you will quickly realize that this game is not designed to baby the players. If you don't have an appropriate protective enchantment or a thief that can disarm a particularly deadly trap, Baldur's Gate II is perfectly happy to figuratively sit and laugh as you struggle in futility. The Enhanced Edition adds a nice facelift and some quality of life features while tinkering very little with the greatness of the original version. The game also features one of the largest modding communities for any series, and the adventure can be enjoyed anew through future playthroughs with a custom set of mods installed. Note: story-centric individuals may want to play Baldur's Gate 1 first.

There's a LOT in There...

I tried playing this game when it first came out. My wife and I had loved BG1, but there was something ominous about the game system in this one. Not the AD&D part, but rather what they had done with the AD&D rules to facilitate high-level play. I loaded it up a couple times, but the ultimate deal-breaker ovver the years was the non-sequitur beginning. If you played BG1 with a heroic party, then odds are one of your characters starts the game plot dead, never to return. Coupled with the fact that all your gear from the first game is also gone, I just couldn't make myself care about the new story. Two decades later, Hordes of Dragonspear created the perfect bridge between BG1 and BG2. No longer a non-sequitur, all those elements that I hated became part of the story. They became motivation both in-player and in-character. I moved straight from BG1 through HoD and right into BG2...and from there straight into Throne of Bhaal. This game does take liberties with the AD&D rules, but mostly in the name of fun. If you like the story of Baldur's Gate, especially as it travels through Hordes of Dragonspear, then this is the ultimate and fitting finale. I enjoyed it immensely; the storyline, the game play, the turn-based combat, even the dated art and interface. Throne of Bhaal shifts tone following the resolution of Shadows of Amn, but I'm reluctant to call it "tacked on." It's a conclusion. It follows the story that started in BG1 and led into HoD before ending in Shadows of Amn, but it has few direct links aside from some key NPCs and references to your character's many accomplishments. If you loved the story, the way I did, Throne of Bhaal feels very combat intensive, like the DM who forgets to challenge his high-level PCs' minds and instead keeps throwing bigger and badder monsters to fight. But the resolution that comes resolves the entire Baldur's Gate saga, not just the expansion. This game packs a LOT, and in the end I felt like it was well worth the journey.
