Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga
Added by
desic Please return the option to purchase the classic version of Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga without having to purchase the new "Definitive Edition"
Nasai12 Will Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga eligible to gog connect ? Even if that happens can play originals ? Because i have only steam enhanced edition versions....
Manu3110 Thanks Vadim_Usovych! It works nicely! Now i got BG I & II, Icewind Dale Original
almark Awesome, got it by doing what is said below, via code from SERIAL KEYS.
CrusaderCarl thanks, wouldnt have bought this game if i couldnt get the original
Vadim_Usovych This working, guys! But it is not canceling GOG problem <br /> For those who bought the Enhanced Edition and aren't able to install the originals versions, you can need to follow a sequence of steps to get them: <br /> 1. Go to you library with an internet navigator; <br /> 2. Click in the picture of the Enhanced Edition of the game in your shelf. This will open a sort of pop up with option of management of the game and its goodies; <br /> 3. Click in big button "MORE" near to the other big, but colored, button "TRY GOG GALAXY"; <br /> 4. Between all the options that will show up, click in the "SERIAL KEYS" option. That will show the name of the game and a web site address (url) to a redeem code; <br /> 5. Copy and paste this url and visit its page, or just open it. There you will be able to validate the url's reddem code and receive the original version of the game in your GOG's library. <br /> <br /> <br /> P.S.: GOG would have been made this more intuitive.
tukuiPat dear god, an old game gets updated ever so slightly and people whine like a bunch of children stay classy internet.
LeaveADwarfToDoIt Hey guys, this is what it says on the enhanced edition page: <br /> ”Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition includes the classic Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga.”
WartimeFriction I'm seriously disappointed that this option is gone, especially so with BALDUR'S GATE 3 being developed 20 years later. Let me play the original, unmolested BG1-2/Icewind Dale!
Terralventhe I hadn't even realized this was taken away as an option before I could grab it. Sorely disappointed.
tfishell Did GOG bundle it with the new edition themselves or did Beamdog or another party force them to bundle it?
B0rgy1 GOG, I love you guys, but pulling out the standard edition of these (along with NWN, Planescape, Icewind Dale) was lame. Bring them back. Let the new kids buy the "superior" enhanced versions, and give us old-school loyal customers what we want.
killersoundsnl I would like to buy Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga; still not back on GOG?? Is there a good reason for that ? (copyright or something?)
Supreme_Smoke420 seriously consider returning this version as I will not be buying the enhanced version. I want to support you guys by giving you my money but unless this is rectified i'll have to buy the game elsewhere
david1500 I really hope you could return us the original version, i would buy it as the enhanced edition is very bad in my opinion.
AshurAlagondar Give back the good version of this awesome series.
vonkrieger Give this back, Beamdog ruined a classic!
Thor3250 You dare to change the visual aesthetic of a true PC classic, and then force a sales boost by removing the option to be pure? GoG, what are you doing? Bring back the original. I am never buying the enhanced edition.
Jamar It look like you can still buy the original Icewindale II. I hear that it is the weakest in the Baldur's Gate/Planescape/Icewind "series". However, I think it is worth getting now while you still have and while it is HALF the cost of an enhanced edtion PLUS you get the soundtrack for FREE lol.
Jamar Does anyone know where I can buy the orignal versions? Or will I have to buy physical versions instead? D:
Hjorvard Would be great. I'd be happy to pay you to have classic BG on my virtual shelf, but I don't want a single cent of my money to go to these lame Beanfreak imposters.
Lamrett Yeah, the Enhanced Edition sucks! All those improvements only take away from the experience. Those many bugs fixed make the game. That content that was in the original game but inaccessible should never have been restored. There wasn't ever an extensive modding community that made very popular mods that did a lot of what the EE does. Guess there will always be those that prefer an original version despite a later one being much better purely because of either nostalgia and or just not liking anything different and being adverse to any and all change. <br /> <br /> Sincerely-Someone who played the original and welcomes the Enhanced Edition with open arms.
CaptBlackwood I have to agree with everybody here. I came to GOG for the Original versions. Looks like I might wind up getting it elsewhere at this point. These "enhanced editions" are exactly what I DO NOT WANT!
PetePawn The only reason i use gog at all is for a working version of an old game. I can't say i care for the EE.
Volv3r I also please to return the option to purchase the classic version of Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga
slightlyedible Why did you remove the original version? Come on. Give us a choice at least.
Damianus_NT Please, make it possible to buy the Good Old Games again, without forcing us, your customers customers, to pay for the "Enhanced Editions". Some random developer promotes their version so the originals had to go? Did they force you? Stay tru to your name GoG, and make your platform great again.
Sintelic Hi Everyone, I bought BG: EE a while ago. I can't seem to find the original edition in my GoG occount. There is no info in the store page. Is there a way or am I stupid for missing the memo?
Deadmanjn LOL I have the original saga hard copy still in the box <br />
Kr0w93 You fuckheads actually removed it.
Seppelsdorf R.I.P original Baldur's Gate <br /> (return If Possible)
dstrong39 PLEASE! Stay true to yourselves Good Old Games!!
Nuke_RJ Bring it back please
irnnn Seriously, I though GOG was for "good old games"! If you remove The Original Saga in favor of the costly enhanced versions, then you betray your own moto and all your customers.
chris1995 Let's make a profit by selling other peoples' games and mods...
nikkial GOG stands for "Good Old Games", no? Bring back the ORIGINAL BG games -- they are the versions that most come to the site to get. I get that they're allegedly available through purchasing the EE, but come on, really? What kind of BS money grab is that? Stay true to yourself GOG, or you will lose more than myself as a customer.
svfn it would be nice to have classic version since in BG:EE EAX option/support was removed.
spaced_out Please do! Please. Pretty Please!
tfishell It'd be nice but it's ultimately up to Beamdog and Hasbro, not GOG. i mean, why would GOG *remove* (or in this case bundle) their bestselling titles, the Infinity Engine games?
garethgamma Yep, GoG missed 2 sales here BG1&2 <br /> I have the boxed originals (well, the boxes - discs have vanished!) and came here to buy them to play "The Ultimate Baldur's Gate Experience" <br /> I'm certainly not paying £30 for 2 old games.
retrosic @IWD A lot of people didn't buy it on GoG.
IWD You buy both the classics and the enhanced version when you buy from GoG. The shop description just doesn't tell you so. Well, in fact it does for Baldur's Gate II. All you have to do is unlocking the classics version in your library (not possible using GoG Galaxy). It's easy. Just select the purchased game and look at the bottom of the description. You will find a GoG message there which tells you where to find the code for the classic version. <br /> <br /> No need for complaint here.
retrosic I suppose this is in part Beamdogs doing. If it is, I really regret buying the EEs and SoD. If it's not, why patronize people into buying the EE? Why take away a choice? We should be able to decide which version of BG we want to play.
HektontheMage I would like to see Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga available again for purchase. Thank you.
Awesome_Finch Whenever I want to play some old classic game, I come here and buy it. Since I couldn't find the original, I had to go find it somewhere else if you know what I mean. Sad. I am willing to pay money but not to greedy cash grabbers.
BeccaRay There's a wonderful world of mods that people have made for the old version. I own it and have it backed up in several places, but newcomers should be able to play the older version and mess around with it as well.
starc0w I thought GOG stands for "Good Old Games"? <br /> The "Enhanced" Editions arn't a good old Game. <br /> good (good means here perfect!) are the original! <br /> Please! Bring back the original Baldur's Gate Saga! <br /> I don't wont to buy the "Enhanced" Edition.
AdmiralBarrett The original BG games should be restored to the shop. The enhanced editions have OpenGL dependencies, especially OpenGL 2.0 that will prevent play on older, legacy computers.

CorcaighDave I also bought the EE version of BG1 on Steam. Would really like to play the original now without having to spend extra. <br /> <br /> That said, does anyone know how GOG's original version of BG1 is working on the latest Windows 10 systems? I'm afraid to spend that much dough and not be able to play it, and I'd prefer not to have to find some kind of emulator or alter my PC's settings significantly. Is it a crap shoot?
ubernovatsunami Bring back the original saga! Stop forcing fans to pay for those crap "Enhanced" editions!
