Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition

Meh -- antiquated and dull. I give it 3 stars from what I remember as a child.

The game is excelent, I don't know what are people complaining of, the small modifications make the game much better to play (I had played this in early 2000s)... easier to pick the look! Visuals perfect! The client support for steam dog is incredible! The game did not work at first, then I sent steamdog's team an email in the morning, they have answered mid day and by evening they had sent a update that made it work, then it was not running well on high definition they have helped me with updates and tips to make it work and now it works great, all in the minimum time posible! I am loving to play the game again and my only problem is to choose a class, because they are all just excellent! Thank you very much! Mateus Fonteles

I've been looking for these old games for a long time now

Ok, so looking at the screenshots for this game may give you the impression that this game has not aged particularly well since its release. Graphics-wise, that is pretty clearly true. Please do not let that put you off, however, as that would keep you from playing and enjoying what is I believe pretty much without question the greatest RPG that has ever been made The story (no spoilers) is incredible, and had me absolutely hooked from the start (even though I hadn't played the first one). The main quest is immense, and will take at least 20-30 hours to fight through (in a hurry). The real joy for me in playing this game is the characters and the sidequests. Each playable character (and a good bunch of non-playable ones too!) has a rich, moving and varied backstory behind them, with everything masterfully written and impeccably voice acted. After 10 hours of playing your companions really do start to feel like family (weird I know, but true). I have played through this game maybe 5 or 6 times over the years, and every time I choose different characters to take with me just to hear their stories and the different ways they interact with each other (and the different unique sidequests each one brings). Every time I play this game through I find new quests, new areas, new items, new characters and new stories - I don't know that its possible for any one person to have experienced them all. Even if everything else about this game sucked, the storylines alone would make it worth the purchase, but fortunately the gameplay is also top notch. If you just bum-rush into groups of enemies you *will* be slaughtered - taking time to plan out your battle strategies and pick your tactics before charging in is the difference between life and very quick death - and many of the boss battles are so tough it will still take a few tries to bring them down, but the reward when you finally emerge victorious makes it worth it all. To sum up: this game is great and you should buy it!

I bought Baldur's Gate 2 Complete edition years back.... Only to find an 'Enhanced Edition' out on sale a few years later. So now I have to spend another amount of money to get those tidbits offered in the new 'Enhanced Edition'? Doesn't seem like a worthy purchase to me. Maybe you guys could consider 'upgrading' the (now obselete)Complete Edition that players already have for free?
