Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

As of 2020, this game is working absolutely great. I haven't played BG in over 20 years so I don't remember a lot of the minute differences, but I encountered almost no bugs (Dynaheir refused to find me after I recruited Minsc, had to console her in). There are no black borders around characters, no crashes, etc. I don't know of any reason to prefer the Steam version over this. It works fine.

I played the original back in the day and now I'm finally replaying this version today and I have to say, I'm really pleased with the enhancements and additions. The new quests are interesting and really fill out the game well. I'll be honest, most of the graphical enhancements weren't really that noticable for me except for the ability to zoom in and out with the mouse wheel which I find myself using all the time. There's a bunch of "quality of life" improvements that make this a lot easier to play than the original on today's PCs, not the least of which is the ability to scale the game flawlessly for the higher resolutions we use today. All in all, an excellent version of a timeless classic, even if I do miss the cheesy CGI animated cutscenes from the original. I think the one thing I appreciate beyond everything else is something that really doesn't apply to this version - Beamdog's porting of this game to just about every platform under the sun. For years I sang the virtues of this game to mostly deaf ears and the more time passed the deafer they got. Having the original Infinity Engine game available on almost everything makes it more accessible than ever. If this version is what prompted this new renaissance, I'm doubly grateful for it.

I don't get all the hate for the EEs. Its BG that runs well on modern systems and all you to scale to modern resolutions without running through hours of modding.

One of the best RPGs I've ever had the honor to play, well-remastered with additional content. If you haven't played it, be sure to have it. You will be entertained for many hours with a great plot, interesting characters and brilliant voice acting, which is the icing of this wonderful cake. An interesting and challenging combat system, along with all the benefits of the remaster, gives a lot of satisfaction. The core of the game itself takes a lot of time, but together with the DLC and additional adventures that have been added it's a really long game worth to buy especially for such a low price, the game is a perfect example of how remasters should be made. Personally, apart from two crashes, I have not encountered any disruptions in the game's operation or bugs. I recommend it to any fan of classic RPGs!

I first played the original BG in 2006, obviously as laptops and operating systems have developed, I was unable to play the PC version any more and so was delighted to find it available on GOG. Even nearly 20 years on, it's still really engaging. There are so many character combinations , which in some circumstances drive the quests, that you don't get tired of playing the game. The graphics are still good and I like controling a team, rather than it being a single person shoot up. I also like that when you finish BG, you can export your main character to other games in the family.
