Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

I got bg1 EE from Steam and now BG from GoG. And I also own complete sagas from GoG Having played all I can say that the Enhanced Edition IS worth the extra cas (on sale only :) ). Let's face it, BG is dated. The features from EE that new players will see are: - No modding , configuring hassle (its not an issue to me, but to others it is!) - very enhanced UI: fits screen and has more options , more "modern" - Zoom in Zoom out, Map- this is just major, gamplay is improve too much by this - Journal - it was useless before ==Note that EE is better today than when it was released, they have improved a lot!. == True there are some unpopular changes (some quests I think?) But the major complain is the new characters which are bad, but you can just ignore them - you will always ignore 15+ NPCs anyways Conclusion: EE is about gameplay and game experience. If you have to install BG a few times you will really appreciate how theres no need of modding, save files get less corrupt. When you ply the game this way you wont go back since it is visually better in every way

The gameplay and UI enhancements are refreshingly wonderful. They remove any and all of the little annoyances present in the original, perfecting a game that was near perfect to begin with. The new characters, class kits, and areas are extra, but not really necessary.

People usually ask if better play this first or go directly to the second. After finishing this one I would have gone to the second (hopefully, as I havent played it yet). I found the story on this one quite boring and forgetable. Added to dated gameplay mechanics and lack of information overall (about enemies abilities and vulnerabilities, spells areas, status effects not telling you what they do... and a long etc.) Of course it has other things going on, like sense of adventure, nice graphics, freedom of choice and exploring, music... but I feel that you can get the same experience from the second part? I hope that one is as good as they say.

Despite there being a Linux version, it will not run if your system is up to date at all because it depends on outdated libraries, and the idea of downgrading them to run a a modern version of this game is ridiculous. /GOG Games/Baldurs Gate Enhanced Edition/game/BaldursGate: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory My current version of this library is 1.1 on Linux Mint 20.3 In the process of attempting a fix from the forum, but if that doesn't work I'll have to download the Windows version of the game and try using Lutris.

This is legendary game by many .... I was expecting a lot coming into this and afte i finished it on insane difficulty i must say that im dissapointed. Very hard DD game. Mages are OP and bosses are insane but if you put up with it you achive victory feeling almost like after beating OnS for the first time in Dark souls. I loved the world, exploration is like the best part of this game there is so much stuff you can find its crazy. Dialogue could use some work its usually lackluster and feels empty in some major points. Yeah would i reccomend this game ? I WOULD but its hard one. Play on hard not insane and maybe you can keep your sanity. 4 Stars cause i had a lot of fun despite the bullshit this game throws at you.
