Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition

When I discovered that there is this enhanced edition, I was afraid that the game would be different so I prefered to stay with the original version. But It's the same as with the first BG (see my review). The enhanced edition allows me to play it on today's computers. As a fan of this saga, I sometimes want to join the great world of mages, thiefs and enjoy the journey across Amn to finish the epic story.

The game work fine now, I haven't noticed any bugs (Linux version) If you don't have the original version the choice is quite simple, just get this one, install with a few clicks and start playing. If you already have the original version, you can apply enough mods to it to make it much better than vanilla but finding all of them, installing them.... takes time. Not to mention that some of the mods aren't exactly bug free. Or you can buy this one. Your choice. I have the originals too but when I saw this for 4 eur I went with it and don't regret my choice.

The people making this game attempted to catch the feeling of playing a game of D&D with friends around the table, and they absolutely succeed. The game is extremely fun, even though the plot is serious, the game allows itself to be completely bonkers. Some things should be absolutely immersion breaking, but they are so funny and out of the left field that they become your most fondest memories. Even the outdated graphics fit perfectly to the atmosphere, and while character customization is nowhere near as detailed like in other RPGs, it has a lot of replay value because of the NPC banter. I would even say that the NPCs elevate the game to a cult classic above everything else since I can imagine them not as characters written to fit inside the world, but as avatars of real people whoms eccentric behavior really spices things up.
