Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

One of the games made purely for players and not for money like most of the games we've seen so far. I grew up playing this game and I was extremely happy that GOG actually offers both parts in their store. And especially this enhanced edition. Grab it and savour it. One of the best RPG sagas ever made that's what Baldur's Gate offers.

An excellent modern revamp on the classic Baldur's Gate. I very much like the tweaks that Beamdog has added, it makes the game much more streamlined than the classic version. If you haven't played the game, it has a relatively steep learning curve, but it's not impossible. The game play itself is easy but unless your'e familiar with AD&D rules 2.0 it will take a bit of manual reading to get an idea of how the stats, attack rolls, and armor class factors in. Otherwise the game plays quite easily from the start as far as controls, but the game play itself can prove quite challenging at low levels. Once you level up to level 3-4 it begins to become a lot more manageable as your party members can become more robust and really carry their weight. It's a true classic, and beamdog did a good job of getting it streamlined. They added some new characters which I was apprehensive at first about, but later found to be decently executed and worthwhile.

I never played this game when I was younger but it was always on my radar. When I saw an enhanced edition, I used that as an excuse to try it. Baldur's gate holds up really well as a game and the enhanced edition makes it a good game in 2017. I know some of the improvements such as quicksave hotkeys, modern journal and zooming. Those made the game playable for me. Would it have been possible with mods? Probably. But I don't really care. This package deal makes the game great for someone who doesn't spend much time figuring out which mods to use, especially not for a new game.

Baldurs Gate. Classic. Baldurs Gate EE on sale for 3.99. Thanks very much!

First version of Enhanced Edition was bugged and not worth it. But after some patches it really made it. While I'm writing these words it is the best version ever released, really polished: enhanced graphics, gameplay, interface and extra features such as zoom (love it!). Highly recommended game for old-school-lovin' gamers :-)
