I have autism and am very particular about the games I play. The original Baldur's Gate came out when I was 13 and I have loved it ever since. I've beaten the game dozens of times. For years, I have refused to play the enhanced edition because it had qualities that I was convinced I wouldn’t like. But with some convincing from my wife, I have finally tried it out. After playing it for a few hours, I have to say that it's okay. I don't like the GUI's look (would have preferred the old stone and gold look of the original) and I really don't like the new companions (they stick out like a red shirt in a group of green shirts). But the quality-of-life improvements are very, very good. The game runs way more smoothly and is easier for new and younger gamers to play this classic. Would I recommend this game? The answer is yes, I would. However, I would recommend that any new players to try a full play through of the Original Saga at least once just for the experience of what it was like back twenty years ago.
