Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

I bought the game by beamdog long time ago, and i never played it because the first EE was buggy and not so good. But this year 2016 had beamdog the new patch 2.0 released. What can i say?! I love the new EE Version from BG. A few things: 1. It works on all systems, linux, windows 7,8,10 and mac. 2. many improvements and new features like the new character information window. 3. better journal 3. No more modding, 4. new characters, 5. german and english language looks good. 6. new sprites, i like them 7. and more What is not so good? 1. a few bugs in german language 2. the black bars surrounding the map with or without zoom, it looks bad! Come on beamdog, why??? 3. much waiting time for new patches! 4. to much black At the end, baldurs gate 1 and 2 are still the mother of all and you must play it to understand! Buy the EE Versions and play this great games!

The bugs are fixed now. The game runs like a charm, and the many UI improvements really make the whole experience smoother than ever. If you want a hassle-free way of (re)experiencing this masterpiece without having to tinker with mods, the enhanced edition delivers on all its promises. Well worth the asking price.

It's 2020 and game still have bug that prevent party from traveling. Sigh.

I have played both the original Baldur's Gate and this new Enhanced Edition and I can easily say that this is the way I prefer to play it. I am a new generation gamer that's used to a lot of hand holding and this version, although still pretty old-school, makes this game accessible for people like me.

I have to admit that I never played the original, so my gaming experience with this game begun with the enhanced edition, and what I've got is a very deep and engaging old school RPG that stood the test of time with it's very entertaining and solid gameplay, great story, amazing variety, complex interactions with NPCs and quests approach. I also like the fact that this game follows the classic 2nd edition D&D ruleset (the ones I followed playing D&D when I was young and which I think are perfect for immersive roleplaying) and the Enhanced Edition doesn't mess with that. In fact the EE doesn't mess with anything: it simply adds bugfixes, selectable gameplay tweaks (you can choose if to apply them or not), various enhancements to the GUI, HD resolution and new content; and as for the current version (2.3) it's all rock solid, except for some minor bugs in the new journal (anyway it succeed in making the quests more manageable). I found the new quests and NPC quite good and on par with the original content, and the support from Beam Dog is excellent (they are still supporting this game with bug fixes and improvements after 4 years). I honestly don't know why you would mod the original when this version exists: you'll end up with lots of bugs and instabilities due to using multiple mods and you'll get a similar experience, only worse. So I can recommend this version of the game as the "go to" version.
