Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

2.0 Update diminishes game (on Steam)

If you want to buy this game, get the GOG edition as you can control patch application. Heard a lot of kerfuffle going on with the add-on, but also noted that my Steam copy of the Enhanced Edition was updated as well. After quickly checking other reviews on numerous bugs, booted up the game to see what had changed to the core game. I only signed in for about 10 minutes, but immediately that every character now appears to have thick, dark outlines. The graphics become more like a browser games than the original; in my own opinion it is rather ugly. Like the characters are sliding along a painting, not walking around. You can scroll in and out to zoom the camera, but that was a poor decision as the backgrounds just end at a point, the engine never made to zoom out to satellite levels. I did not have any of the bugs mentioned by others, but multiplayer is reported to have many problems. Reports are consistent of long waits and crashing. Sadly, I can't recommend what was once of my favorite games anymore, and wanted to pass along the news to other who could be affected.
