This is it. One of the most ultimate Roleplaying experiences of all times.

Well, if you allready own and played the original Baldur's Gate and the Tales of the Sword Cost Add-On, there is not much to tell. You might still want the game if you want to try some new classes which were not available back in the original game or if you want some new subquest related to four new NPCs, or if you want to try a new short campaign mainly about arena fighting. Or if you want to replay the game with some better graphics, support for modern hardware and better multiplayer options. But in the core it is still the old game back from good ol' times.

If you have never played Baldur's Gate but you love (true) party-based rpg games with a deep storyline, much lore and epic fights, moral choices with true consequences for your gameplay and interacting NPCs, let me say this: Stop searching. Click Buy! If you are searching for good RPGs on relevant community-site on the web, you will almost always find Baldur's Gate in the Top 10 although the game is more then 15 years old. And there is a reason for it.

The closing of Black Isles Studios which originally developped the Baldur's Gate-Series and Planescape: Torment and the Icewind Dale-Series was one of the saddest days in gaming history. No studio ever again made such high-quality RPGs.
