Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition

This is a classic game, and anyone interested in fantasy RPG's should give it a try, especially if you have a BG EE character to transfer over. For a game it's age, it does many things well. Combat, NPC's, quests, the overall story, all very enjoyable if you can adapt to it's 90's way of doing things. So I guess these would all be "PROS". As for "CONS", my biggest two complaints are the pathing (how the caracters decide how to walk from point A to piont B) in areas with lots of narrow passages. At times it is just totally broken. If you have a narrow corridor, and instruct the party to move somewhere, some of the characters in the back will be blocked, and choose a different path. This path might be walking through an unexplored room full of monsters, causing you to reload the game, they might also choose a blocked path, and just stop. This is definitely due to the age of the game, but it's still annoying as hell, and I wish they would have done something about it in the "Enhanced Edition". My second complaint is the way in which quests are given to you, especially in Athkatla. At times it feels like the entire town has a quest for you, and you can't walk 5 feet before another NPC runs up to you with a quest. You have to look at your journal carefully too, because in addition to barraging you with quests all at once, some of the NPC's will leave your party if you don't do their quest soon enough. Even worse, if you REALLY want that NPC in your party, and don't have a save far enough back, you just have to finish the game without them or start over. I don't see this as "role playing", I mean if an NPC has just "had enough" and insists on doing their quest NOW, they would tell you BEFORE it's impossible to placate them. Just, out of the blue, if you've messed around too much, an NPC can just leave the party never to be seen again. These are some unfortunate design decisions I wish would have been fixed, but it's still 100% worth playing and fun.

And keep in mind I'm not going to go on about this version or the original version so long as I have A version to play I'm happy because BG2 is one of the most important games. If you consider yourself a lover of video games and this game is not in your arsenal, something's wrong.

Don't support the hacks at beamdog, go buy the originals off amazon. The original BG is a treasure but not this.

The game does not want to start, start the game button just flashes for a few seconds then nothing happens, have searched for the problem on the internet and find nothing that solves the problem, also see many have the same problem. This also applies to Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition
