Baldur's Gate is a EPIC MASTERPIECE.
Having played this way back in 98, it was time to relive some magic of the old days when RPG's were in their golden age.

Don't be fooled, this game is hard and unless you have experience playing this genre from this time, don't expect tutorials and cursors to guide you, you are totally on your own and that's part of the reason why this game is such a gem.
Baldur's Gate set out what a RPG should be, a massive game with a immersive story and tons of lore.

When you first jump back into this game, it is easy to be put off by the graphics and game play, it took me a few hours to get back into it, now its on my mind every minute, rising my anticipation to jump on and eagerly finish the story line again.

This game will not disappoint, if you have never experienced the original Baldur's Gate or you want to know what the hype is all about with RPG's from the time video games were classics this is the one you want to play and experience, RPG's today look back at the greats and this is one of them,. enjoy!

If I hear "Heya!" one more time, I'm gonna wash my mouth out with a revolver.

This game was fun for the duration which I have played I don't wanna finish it but it was definitely fun for the time I did play it. Also you may be asking why I stopped playing. Well I'm just lazy and don't wanna sit through 40 hours of this game and have to reload a checkpoint if I die. That just me tho I know lot of people will eat up this game but I'm happy for what I did play.

wild how you can powerlevel a character solo and import them into a new game at level 8!

This is a great game which can still entertain players more than 20 years after the original release. The story, setting and characters are interesting, and the vast variety of options for character generation are all outstanding.

There is one significant drawback to to the game, which is the expectation of fairness, you can expect none. As with most RPG games of the same time period, it is quite possible that your first encounter with a hostile creature will result in your immediate death with a natural 20 roll on said creatures attack.

Another thing for players to keep in mind. This game used the 2nd edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rule set,

Everyone that knows anything about Dungeons and Dragons has heard of this title, Baldur's Gate. Personally I played the original release back in the day and loved it. I remember finishing the mines and then stopping for some reason but I made sure to push through this time and had a wonderful time with this title. Its less modern than some of its comtemporaries but that doesn't change the absolute class on offer here.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a Party-based Western RPG.

I never played the original game so decided to pick it up after playing Baldur's Gate 3. The game, while showing its age with dated graphics and clunky mechanics, remains a classic worth experiencing. The engaging story and rich world-building make it a nostalgic journey for RPG enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the roots of modern role-playing games.

Just as fun as the original version with better graphics.

Played this game before, 20 years ago. For me it's classic role playing, classic AD&D rules and just plain fun.
