博德之门增强版

Beamdog fills the game with their tone deaf OC characters who stick out like sore thumbs and really break the immersion of the world. Play the Originals instead if you want to truly experience these classics.

Loved playing Baldurs gate as a Kid and glad to snag this on sale but it inexplicably doesn't work on my computer. I get a non specific error code with instruction to contact beamdog support. I haven't heard back.

My review is based on the Android version, of which as far as I have known the only way outside of GemRB ports to play this portable. Omitted are talks about interface and the like because of this; the only other difference between this and mobile is that the new NPCs/quests are in-app purchases. BGEE is a mixed bag. Most of the added content are mods seen as marked improvements: mostly TuTu, bugfixes, and Unfinished Business (which means cut content restored.) All of this is good and well put for the most part. When you get to the content Beamdog introduced themselves, that's when things get a little more hairy. The writing doesn't match up quality-wise, and on top of that much of the new quests feel more like modern BioWare than Black Isle/BioWare of the day. It horribly sticks out and pulls you out of the experience, feeling more like a fan modification than content from a fully-fledged remake, and I'm not sure if the upcoming expansion is a great idea or not because of it. Throw this in with the aforementioned fact that the best parts are included content from mods, and one must unfortunately concede to the fact that a little time of modding the original equals a better product than BGEE. It feels to me that if the effort put into extra content were put in another direction I'd be rating this a full 5 stars for ease of use. The initial modifications, porting to new OSes, new voicesets, and new portraits are friends who are welcome to stay. Unfortunately the extra quests, kits, and NPCs are their cousins who are begrudgingly let in to crash on your couch.

http://www.shsforums.net/files/file/1135-disable-enhanced-edition-npcs/ The above link is to a mod by Argent77 which will disable the new companions. Baldur's Gate is one of the best CRPGs ever made and the Enhanced edition adds excellent technical improvements. These updates add a range of options for tailoring your experience and, in most ways, improves the experience. The GOG release also includes the original version. If you are at all a fan of RPGs then do yourself the favour of getting this game. Unfortunately Beamdog, the programmers of the enhanced edition, saw fit to not only improve the technical aspects of the game but also add their own characters. These characters should have been offered in a separate content pack DLC, but instead Beamdog made them a permanent part of the game. The new characters are hard to miss and attempt to take a front seat. Gamers new to Baldur's Gate can be forgiven for thinking that these are the primary companions. It seems that Beamdog tried to piggy-back off Baldur's Gate's success by inserting their own creations, which is a fairly hubristic action. Luckily they have learned from their mistake and there are no such intrusive changes made to later Enhanced Edition games; Planescape Torment EE, Icewind Dale EE etc. Unfortunately Beamdog have not decided to remove the new Baldur's Gate characters and put them in a seperate content pack DLC. The above mod is for people who want to enjoy the excellent technical updates without the unwelcome Beamdog companions.

BG 1 & 2 are my most favorite games ever. Even little more than Fallout 1 & 2. I know everything by my heart about that game and that is really lot of years when I was playing that so hard. I bought this EE edition in sale. I was making character couple of hours to get max points, which I fortunately saved like first. Game itself I was playing 3 seconds when I needed shut down my PC, because game stopped responding and absolutly messed up my PC to absolutly not react to get even into the task manager, tryed twice. Next two 2-3 second in game playing fortunately shutted down without hard restart. Ok. Tryed everything about "graphic" setting, all combinations. Helped turn off something using graphic card even my is ok. But anyway, after few seconds my character started walking extremely slowly even in game enviroment was fluent and ok (empty inventory). I played normal old version with BETTER graphic day before, playing extremely fluent even from my old flashdisc, 'cuz I can play it even on crap PCs in university. Don't wanna be salty, MAYBE some ideas about game looks good but enviroment of game is messed up just to 'like' we bring new things, so balance is gone. Even cannot play to have ideas about it. Scared of new characters. What was awesome about game was changed to say 'We want 20 euro' which is ridiculous and on edge to be ilegal. UI is dark absolutly ugly piece of "thing". Game graphic improvement are literally caricature of nice graphic before. Just added saturation, contrast.. and borders to make it more annoying for eyes even game before was beautiful like a picture created with flair. First when I got into game I pressed pause and was searching how turn off grey filter and all this.. eh? Why destroy beautiful game to make it claun or black and white? Don't know, even itself is unplayable. I bought also android version. Where they wanna pay for another things in-game again. To pay it on every device and make money. Shame, shame... Beamdog is cancer for me.
