“It holds up surprisingly well in almost every aspect to this day. I was skeptical about going back to old DnD versions, but this game reminded me that the newer DnD versions just kept losing the "charm" with complexity…”
“I've played this game from when it was first released, through the TOSC: expansion, BG II Shadows of Amn, Throne of Bhaal to completion, more than once. Siege of Dragonspear once that came out, so much later, completed.…”
“If you grew up playing AD&D 2e this will feel very familiar. The Enhanced Edition offers the most important upgrade: a scalable UI and the ability to play in HD and UHD resolutions. (You will need to play it in a…”

“Let's face it: You dont need to play this nearly 30 year old game, if you have no interest of games from that era - be it for nostalgia or scientific reasons. If you just want to know the origin stories of some BG3…”
“It's the best isometric RPG of all time. OG D & D. Really scratches that itch even all these years later. Great story. Fun combat, Inspiring loot.”
“Really good narrative and writing, if you like CRPGs this is still a must”

“Não existe nenhuma chance de NÃO recomendar este jogo. Que jogo incrível! Me pergunto como um jogo de 1998 pode ser tão gostoso de jogar. Tem humor, tem desafios lendários, formação tática, tem tudo que você gostaria de…”
“Absolute classic. The game shows it's age, but for it's time it was cutting edge. Get ready to feel the pain of starting off at first level in 2nd Edition AD&D...”
“Clunky and difficult . Takes a bit of getting used to. But once you do its really fun.”

“I´ve played this game many times and I still love playing it as there is always something new to discover. Interacting with the characters is fun and useful. It´a rich world full of assets and different landscapes.…”

“Ignore my playtime. I use EET to combine BG1+2 into a single game with BG2 as the base. I also played the 2 games a combined few hundred hours before the Enhanced Editions were a thing. Anyway, this game is fantastic.…”

“The older graphics and UI will be hard for the younger, even more dopamine addled brains than mine who absolutely require high quality graphics to enjoy a game. But if that part isn't a problem for you, then this game…”
“A wonderful CRPG with amazing lore, writing, character, and a colorful, atmospheric world filled with plenty of quests and characters to meet! I especially love Minsc and Boo, but then again, Minsc is a fan favorite…”

“It isn't a bad game by any stretch. It's a bit grindy in the beginning, but things do get smoother as you progress. Inventory management also gets a little easier as you pick up various sub-containers and more…”
“A classic for a reason. Imperfectly done, perhaps. It would be nice to see a full overhaul of the entire engine and everything else, but Beamdog has continued to support these games more than a decade after releasing…”

“I purchased Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition in 2017. It has never worked after trying on six computers. the game will install but will not run. According to the forum, this is a common problem. I don't have time to slog…”
“The game is not designed for modern audiences, but people who enjoy difficult CRPGs will enjoy this one too. I am not one of those though. Despite being based off of a tabletop RPG (which, ad&d2e is garbage), it is…”
“Great game so far. Just do NOT use the find familiar spell! If your familiar dies, you lose max hp, and then you could die. After I messed up with that early on, I restarted the game as a cleric, and things have gone…”

“Nothing much to say really that hasn't already been said by other people. It really is a classic that everyone should at least try to play. There's one mod that makes the game a lot less tedious imo:…”

“Ho, there reader. Stay thy course a moment to indulge an old...."ish" man. Ah, the one that started it all...a gem of a game. My brother first introduced me to it in what must have been 1998 or so. He'd been struggling to get this 6-disc monster to run on a Midwest Micro PC.…”
