If you encounter
./BaldursGateII: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
You need to compile ssl 1.0.1 version (I used 1.0.1u) from:
https://openssl-library.org/source/old/1.0.1/index.html
$ ./config shared
$ make
then put compiled libssl1.0.0 and libcrypto1.0.0 to game directory and run with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/home/${USER}/GOG Games/Baldurs Gate II Enhanced Edition/game' ./BaldursGateII
Hope i helped someone.
Great in 2000 and still a winner. Could still be improved upon but loved it when I got it brand new in 2000 and the feeling is still strong. Pass the turnip stew.
The first BG may provide more exploration and general low-level curteness, but BG II compensates the lack of explorable wilderness areas with awesome self-contained quests, plenty of loot and spells, a great cast and all of the fun you can expect from mid-to-high level adventuring. Still more than worth it after all these years.
