Ruined by terrible combat
Pros: + lots of fighting + nicely drawn environments + create a party of 6 (no NPCs) Cons: --- terrible Command & Conquer style passive combat (real time with pause) -- very little voice acting (prepare to read A LOT) - braindead AI - starts at level 1 with mages being near useless (1 spell per rest, 4 hit points) - pathfinding is horrible - Infinity engine's capabilities are very limited (fighting, reading dialogues) Bottom line: The first two BALDUR'S GATE games have to be the most overrated cRPGs of all time. Not only did they introduce a very crappy combat system where combat is mostly automatic and you just interfere by pressing space bar to pause and issue commands which the characters briefly follow before returning to their suicidal behavior (mages with 4 hps will rush into melee combat). Tactical turn-based combat is the only way to go in this type of game (unless it's a solo character game which can get away with DIABLO-style click-to-hit). The pathfinding is atrocious - you need to bring your party to a point at the end of the map, you'd better "lead" them in baby steps to that point or they'll just get lost (or stuck). Wanna leave the area? Prepare to hear "you must gather your party before venturing forth!" - yes, pixel exact placement of all six characters at the exit, one pixel off is a no-go. Due to the game engine's (Infinity, what a joke!) limitations you'll be doing two things is abundance: fighting and talking to NPCs (reading, lots and lots of reading, because only every other sentence is actually dubbed with mediocre voice acting). Enhanced Edition? Well, Beamdog did add higher resolutions, but using them makes everything look washed out and blurred, so don't expect any miracles here. If you intend to get ICEWIND DALE 2 note that that has NOT been "enhanced" and it recycles a lot of areas of ICEWIND 1.
