The Classic Adventure Continues

 

Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition brings one of the most celebrated RPGs of all time back for modern adventurers, preserving the depth, atmosphere, and storytelling that defined the golden age of cRPGs.


Continue the journey you began in Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, carrying your hero forward into a darker, more ambitious chapter—or forge a new protagonist to shape your own path through the Forgotten Realms.

Campaign Content

 

The Enhanced Edition includes the full original experience—Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal—along with a refined arena mode for players who enjoy tactical challenges.

 

 

  • Classic Campaign: The original Shadows of Amn adventure, faithfully restored
  • Expansion: Throne of Bhaal, the epic conclusion to the Bhaalspawn saga
  • Arena Challenges: The Black Pits II: Gladiators of Thay, a gauntlet of strategic battles
  • Refined Difficulty Options: Story Mode for relaxed exploration and narrative focus; Legacy of Bhaal for veterans seeking a punishing, old‑school test of skill

Epic Characters

 

Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition carries forward the rich character depth of the classic cRPG era, offering a wide range of classes and a cast of unforgettable companions whose stories reach their defining moments in this chapter of the saga.

 

 

  • Classic Class Variety: 11 playable classes and dozens of subclasses, capturing the breadth of old‑school AD&D character building
  • Legendary Companions: Journey alongside icons like Minsc (and Boo!) and Jaheira—perfect for players who met them in Baldur’s Gate 3 and want to experience these heroes at the height of their original adventures
  • New Allies to Discover: Neera the Wild Mage, Dorn Il‑Khan the Blackguard, Rasaad yn Bashir the Monk, Hexxat the Thief, and even Wilson the Bear join the roster
  • Hero Customization: New voice sets let you shape your protagonist with even more personality
  • Continue Your Saga: Import your character from Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition to carry your story forward, or begin anew with a fresh hero

Classic Gameplay

  • Modern Display Support: Native widescreen and high‑resolution options
  • Cross‑Play Multiplayer: Adventure together across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS

A Story-Rich RPG

 

Kidnapped. Imprisoned. Tortured. The wizard Irenicus holds you captive in his stronghold, attempting to strip you of the powers that are your birthright.
As you escape and step back into the wider world, the question at the heart of the Bhaalspawn saga becomes impossible to ignore. Can you resist the evil in your blood and forsake the dark destiny that awaits you? Or will you embrace your monstrous nature within and ascend to godhood as the new Lord of Murder?

The problems have been fixed!

Please discard the old reviews, the game has been patched up,and works great now. I just started the Throne of Bhaal and experienced no bugs or glitches except for the infamous path finding issues present on all infinity engine games. Don't let the older reviews scare you off, this is by far the best version of the game to play, all of the best mods are built in and you don't have to stretch the screen, widescreen support is built in. I tried modding the old game and it just didn't look right on my widescreen monitor. Support these guys as they are trying to keep the Baldur's Gate series alive!

Technical update with unwarranted extras

http://www.shsforums.net/files/file/1135-disable-enhanced-edition-npcs/ The above link is to a mod by Argent77 which will disable the new companions. Baldur's gate is one of the best CRPGs ever made and the Enhanced edition adds excellent technical improvements. These updates add a range of options for tailoring your experience and, in most ways, improves the experience. The GOG release also includes the original version. If you are at all a fan of RPGs then do yourself the favour of getting this game. Unfortunately Beamdog, the programmers of the enhanced edition, saw fit to not only improve the technical aspects of the game but also add their own characters. These characters should have been offered in a separate content pack DLC, but instead Beamdog made them a permanent part of the game. The new characters are hard to miss and attempt to take a front seat. Gamers new to Baldur's Gate can be forgiven for thinking that these are the primary companions. It seems that Beamdog tried to piggy-back off Baldur's Gate's success by inserting their own creations, which is a fairly hubristic action. Luckily they have learned from their mistake and there are no such intrusive changes made to later Enhanced Edition games; Planescape Torment EE, Icewind Dale EE etc. Unfortunately Beamdog have not decided to remove the new Baldur's Gate characters and put them in a seperate content pack DLC. The above mod is for people who want to enjoy the excellent technical updates without the unwelcome Beamdog companions.

Includes Original Version of BG2!

GOG is the only digital store that includes the original version of the game with purchase. Please ignore the 1 star reviews because of the dislike for the enhanced edition. You get BOTH enhanced and original at GOG. Yes it sucks you have to buy the enhanced edition if you only want the original version, but GOG is the only legal option. I myself enjoy the enhanced editions and think they are fantastic. BUT if you purchase on GOG, you still get the original version! Thank you GOG!

Migrating perfection to the 21st century

From my point of view, a gamer that has played both the original and this one, EE is the better game today. I own the retail versions of BG, BGII and IWD and loved playing them back in 2000ish. I've spent tons of hours on those games exploring everything in an age where walkthroughs and the freedom of forums wasn't that wide spread. A few years ago I wanted to get back to the series for old time sake, and after installing the game, I couldn't get past the interface issues. An old game, on my huge 24" screen looks plain ugly, doesn't matter how you look at it. And I hate playing windowed mode. So I skipped playing the game. When the EE version was announced I was very excited and I even pre-ordered it on beamdog (I own both BG titles there). My expectations were exceeded. I just loved the new look & feel of the game. As much as possible, beamdog managed to bring an epic titles back to the 21st century. So positives: - great look and feel, doesn't lose any of the original flavour. I was excited to battle Dragons and the Illithids :) - there are class kits just as NWN has, yay! - the new added characters manage to bring extra fun to the game. The dialogues are great and lots of fun. (wild mage rocks :)) - UI, did I mention the UI? Big resolution....

Terrible NPCs added

The crappy and useless beam dog mods downgrade this masterpiece. Everything added other than their npcs can be done with free online mods which work better. Their NPCs stick out like a sore thumb and are just generally badly written. I only bought this because gog removed the old original page, you can still get the original game added to your account, credit to VADIM_USOVYCH. To do this you go to the game in your shelf and left click on it. Above the big blue gog galaxy download button there are three dropdown tabs, system, language and more. Go into more and there will be an item called SERIAL KEYS, click on this and you will be shown a link. Copy and paste this to a new tab and you can use this code to add the original version of BG1, BG2 and icewind dale to your owned games.
