@TheDlscord I couldn't find BG books anywhere ^^ and there isnt my favo characters whatsoever (expect Minsc)
played BG2 3times thou :D got some mods to keep it interesting and i still got anomen to romance (some said he will become less annoying when you romance him but we shall see) ihave read almost every forgotten realms book what has been translated to my native language (finnish) but i really hope i would live in america or england so that i could get them more faster
In my personal opinion games today will never touch what these games had. I still to this day play BG, and Ice Wind Dale. I'm actually trying to find a good BG music playlist so I can continue playing the first one with some calming tunes of forgotten realms.
Whenever i play this game i always end up Romancing Aerie, dunno why, but i just love how fragile she is, and i just want to save her and take her back to her bretheren. I just can't help myself!
@gertona well Aerie is nice, idk why but before i forced myself to romance her i disliked her (same happened with Anomen) but now i like her as much as Viccy and Jaheira ^^
@hurisija well PS:T is another classic by Black Isle, one of the unique in the game is, it allows gaming on both action heavy or story heavy...if we invest our skill points on charisma, we can convince most lesser boss to let us be, and if our intelligent is high enough, answer for puzzle will automatically generated for us, thus avoiding more conflict in steel;-)
hehe..one need to be a AD&D players in order to make great forgotten realm game, because they are the one who know what it meant to be in AD&D world, there aren't many AD&D players these days, those are Hack and Slasher who assume they know what is RPG;-)
Hey I loved BG and NWN 1 and I only ever played MERP :). I don't think you need to be an AD&D player, its mroe important to be someone who has played any "pen&paper" role pleying game.
I love this music and this game more than my own life. Oh how I wish to go to sleep and wake up, discovering that this world has been the real dream and The Forgotten Realm is my true home.
Love this game ive been playing through it over ander over over the last year and i can still play it and have more fun than i get with any other game! :)
why don't they make games like this anymore??? Same thing happened to games that happened to music, we have MORE QUANITITY, but a lot LESS QUALITY :( Baldurs gate was like the beatles, and now we get a bad justin bieber every week GIVE MORE D&D games plox =)
@rocksoul89 dude thats not how it works. games make emotions in us, and sometimes, we literally drain all that specific emotion on a certain game, such as BG2. i cant get the same enjoyment and feeling of wonderment out of SKYRIM that i used to get from ICEWIND DALE. now tell me what makes more sense. that the majestic beauty of a 3D fully voiced fully scripted, beautifully composed fully explorable world like skyrim is WORSE THAN IWD(ten years old)??? OR ITS ME THATS CHANGED. Stop complaining.
@rogerthat155 This i had to disagree,a more advanced graphic design with3/4D or whatever high tech you support not necessary better than the old 2D style of gaming..Let not talk about it in term of dedication of the game developers, as all good game deserve a good writer and developing team. Just talk about the visual and audio you were arguing about. The overly colourful and manipulation of eyes visual don't make a game better, IT MAKE THE GAME WORSE sometime, as these elements cloud our minds
@rogerthat155 ...cloud our mind with TOO MANY STIMULATION that ultimately drain our sense of our enjoyment, you used a certain substance as example of enhancing effect in a game via your post, and the overly visual and audio is one of those substance..as too many stimulated pattern and sound actually drown us in certain BAD game, just like someone continue hack and slash without purpose in some online game. less stimulated graphic make our mind clearer to what we actually playing as we can judge
@rogerthat155 ..judge the game we play better in a 2D effect like BG2. The spirit of RPG is about how WE interpret the game in our own image, NOT being induced in a TOO "Realistic" effect that define what the fantasy is in a overly realistic 3/4D engine. Hence it do make sense that an old 2D graphic CAN BE a much better than a modern 3/4 D games that define our sense through mass on screen simulation and stimulation. And that is LOGIC, don't try to discredit others with the LOGIC that you want
@rocksoul89 there was the counter opinion, now im going to agree with u. games developers back then were entering new worlds with the open world exploration thing, on screen, so many of the ideas that came out were fresh and inventive, and held the real spirit of the world they tried to create. Nowadays its harder to come up with ideas, and all were doing is essentially remaking the same games for money. But better games DO exist.
@rocksoul89 just one more thing dude, trust me on this too, playing OTHER games listening to the music from BG/ BG2 and IWD makes that game 10000x better. lol. Playing Skyrim with a tweaked soundtrack, sometimes playing Easthaven in peace from IWD, and to play BG2s tavern themes in the taverns, makes the game THAT much more soulful. Try playing a shitty immersionless game like WoW with this playing in the background. it WORKS.
@rocksoul89 oh and if u want to revitalise that emotion that made shitty old games like Baldurs gate 2 feel incredible and weighty in passion and wonderment, everytime u play a game, smoke weed! thats what it does. playing any videogame stoned is almost like playing it for the first time. it feels like ure inside the world with most games now.
@rogerthat155 and don't try to stop others from complaining, as everyone is entitle to their view as long as they have point towards it. and emotion is also not something you can just downplay with your certain manipulated "vision" or "fusion" of gaming.. you are welcome for the continuous debate, though you may have to wait awhile for me to have the leisure of online again, as i love to debate...Let just say some OLD SOUL NEVER CHANGE
@rocksoul89 Well, Dragon Age Origins was a masterpiece. Inon Zur did a great job too cause it has got epic music. The Witcher Enhanced Edition is pretty good too, and also the music is excellent.
Nowadays, we have got TES V: Skyrim by Bethesda which is the best action-RPG ever made (but the story and relationship between companions aren't so good as the ones in Baldur's Gate or Dragon Age from Bioware). Fortunately, there are still good games. Baldur's Gate was the best if you played it in time.
@JMSLionheart I agree that Dragon age:origin was great, BioWare shouldn't ruin it by coming out with Leliana's song, witch hunt etc.... all those great character background are ruin :( and then Dragon Age 2 which i don't know what else to say :( as for Witcher 2, great ending and should be a great master piece if they didnt add those mouse clicking retarded sequence, whats the point of adding those mouse clicking sequence on a PC game? plus voice acting is a bit of weird
@rocksoul89 I don't know what happened to RPGs in general, but last I heard, Atari had a stranglehold on the D&D liscense, and is both refusing to let anyone do anything with it, or do anything with it themselves.
guys,at 1:27 when you see the SoA world map,what are the 2 lower places in the forest (the one to the west on the coast and the one next to the mountains bottom east where the shield is) I dont remember seeing these in my games
@outlawzqc I just googled the map and the locations are in game, they're: Underdark Exit (the one on the seashore) and Suldanessellar (the one with the fight flag)
I beat BG2...but now I want to play the expansion. Do I have to start over or can I create a new party and start with ToB? How long is the game on average?
@Plissken07 There are plenty of possibilities. You can create a new protagonist and start ToB with a new party, or you can import a game from Shadows of Amn. Or, you can install ToB and then finish your latest SoA game from your last save game - there should be an auto-save from Hell, and you will automatically be transferred to ToB on completion.
ToB is about one fourth or one fifth the length of SoA.
@Plissken07 The game takes your last saved game from the second one and all your equipment. Its actually pretty long, I mean not as long as the second one but I loved it because I have played all of them and it finally finished the story. I would say that it took me about 3 months of playing almost every night for an hour. Of course you might move faster than me.Such an epic game though.
but the music is so dumb. along with the portait pictures, colors, and charactervoices.
Ice wind dale was so much better in this regard. unfortunately Icewind Dale was intented to be more like a hack and slash so it was doomed to become a fail.
Some of you are taking the whole BG and DA thing way too personally...
I enjoy DA right now because it brings an experience unlike most other games in it's today's genre. But... The Forgotten Realms franchise will always have a special place in my heart, and will always be my faveorite.
If Baldur's gate and Dragon Age were lovers in my life, the scenario would be something out of a soap opera...
what an amazing game. I've played through at least 10 times, with tons of different mods. One of the most immersive and most fun play experiences out of any game.
I decided to try out Baldur's Gate 2 a few months ago, and yeah, it was pretty good, but MY GOD, was it confusing! When I first started it I had no-f*ing idea about how the mechanics of the game worked (I still dont understand it fully). I had to keep both the manual and google running while I was playing it.There mere fact that you are supposed to a as low armor as possable, rather then hige, took me a loooooong time to figure out.
@Ashadow700 Yeah, it's totally counterintuitive. You'll be happy to know that in Neverwinters Nights and possibly other games that use version 3 of the rules, that made it more intuitive so that higher AC is better.
*sighs* i just love how you could choose a portait for you character. wish they had that for NWN 2. just LOOOOVE this music too. i wish somehow i could play it with my character. teehee. i wish that badly. *thumbs up* love it thanks.
Ah, the memories this brings back. I remember staying up late at night to play Baldurs Gate when i was little. I barely understood English back then (Im Norwegian), but the experience was still epic beyond words. Thanks a thousand times over for uploading this.
I like baldur's gate 2, It really was a fun game. For some reason I barely remember what happened in the game, besides when you get to the underground with the mind flayers. Lol at the demon lord who appears "HAHAHA MOST AMUSING, THE BHAALSPAWN HAS TRICKED YOU, THESE ARE NOT THE REAL DRAGON EGGS EITHER!". For some reason I always found that to be an epic moment.
The BG2 Portrait artwork is masterfully done, who didn't find Imoen & Aerie attractive? And Minsc & Boo are the most underrated and loving sidekicks ever!
The realistic personalities shine through and in that aspect no game will ever come close to making you really feel like they are believable D&D characters, Dragon Age was to sexist and for some reason I stopped playing it after just a day.
@konoko1984 Perhaps I misunderstand your post, but both Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 are Black Isle? So if you think this is the best of infinity, you are still supporting Black Isle. Most infinity games were Developed by Black Isle and Published by Bioware.
still playing this game today March 25th 2011 I just beat Kangaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for my first fucking time in 10 years (back when I was young I was never good enough to kill all liches + get through his demi form
I love how in the character portraits in BG2 and other old D&D titles are so full of detail like high quality paintings. It stirs the imagination when playing on those venerable retro graphics. Much more effective than today's game graphics
This game in my opinion is the best game I have ever played they put so much detail into the story. And the side quests had a lot of detail too. it would take me like all week just to complete a side quest. But no doubt this is the best game that I have plaed and will ever play in my life.
ok finaly to write in here, yes Baldurs Gate 2 is the best rpgs. Not just the best it is the first better game that came out at that time i think it was yer 2000 ?? 2002 , whatever. Why is thise game the best RPG game. Cus nobodey didnt manage to make a game that is better then thise one. Iven now today when we have mass of rpgs, mmor rpgs, etc . none of them hasnt created something new and groundbreaking and diferent from baldurs gate. And all thise new games origin frorm thise game or?Zelda ?

@RealArcalian I was TheBeastlordJohnny. I wrote stuff that I've just come back to (I was 17 at the time, so some slack is requested) and apart from a few moments of glory, most of it was pretty alarmingly dire.
The best RPG ever made! The storyline and the characters are full of emotions. its pure epic. i miss those times where i was trapped in this game like a actor of a epic movie! if someone would make a movie of this, it would beat "lord of the rings" i think ^^ (sry for my bad english)
My favorate game of all time simply takes me to another Damantion of beauty and adventuring with emotion ! It has its own stile without all this japanes shit that the games are filled with today such as HUGE ARMORS and this "black-Looking" and all this shit -No its humble insted and looks like realty with no OVER THINGS its call proportions ! FANTASTIC GAME !!!! LOVE IT !
@y2010m1 Elder scrolls and Baulder's Gate are the classic example of games that bring you into the fantasy realm, their ambient music spirtually washes over you. The feeling of elegence and tranquility roams over your mind, the thing about fantasy games is that they set apart the boundry between the unknown and the known world, you really feel like that there is something out there.
No matter what I play, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, Baldurs Gate remains my all time favorite and it's a game I really love to come back to and play over and over again.
i am still fond of my friendship and romance with my followers...they prove to be so faithful following me around and making conversation.... really can't find those friends in real world...
If there was only a way to rip these beautiful track right of the CD... Man, would love to hear these amazing classics again on the go. So many fond memories!
@FierceBirdOfFlame mate its easy to find the soundtracks to all three games in the series online, just do a torrent search and download them. I agree though, I still get chills when I listen to the end track from TOB. It still feels like the conclusion of a chapter of my life...
Don't ever say 'they don't make 'em like that anymore' in any gaming forum or you'll be flamed by console Borderlands, Mass Effect, Jade Empire and Dragon Age fans who will insist one of these is the best cRPG! So keep it to yourself and just know in your head we are in a dumbed down multiformat market now, and only Europe gives us games that come close anymore (Sacred, Divine Divinity, Spellbound, Gothic, The Witcher, Two Worlds, etc......!!!)
No doubt in my mind that this THE best game series ever made. Along with Icewind Dale and Planescape Torrent. Neverwinter Nights was alright, NWN2 was shite though and Dragon Age: Origins DOES NOT do this game justice. Spiritual Successor my arse!
Woot, NWN2 was epic as hell, just becuase it had a structure similiar to Baldurs gate. if you played NWN2 in 2006 without the patches it must have sucked.
Meeh, NWN1´s orginal campaign had no companions or a worldmap and that sucked
And oh, NWN2´s expansion "mask of the betrayer" was a really good continuation on the story just like "Throne of Bhaal" was for BG2. If you gave up on NWN2 cuz of the bugs i suggest you to try it again with all patches. Sure its still glitchy but with "mask of the betrayer" its soo worth it
@Ericzeppe I've played thru all of NWN, with the exception of the last expansion pack. It was decent, and I quite enjoyed the first one. MoTB was a bit short though.
ok, then you know what you are talking about. A good game raped by bugs n glitches
Too bad, with more patches it could have been the new Baldurs gate.
"Storm of Zehir" expansion is just like "Shadows of undretide", Not very good and not really bad either, just average.
The only good thing about "SOZ" was the elite-style gaming with trading , freeroaming, and the jungle enviroment. So if you are RPG starved its a decent timekiller. "Hordes of the underdark" is still the best nwn--expansion yet
@Flicker455 you havent really played NWN until you have finished HOTU. It's like missing TOB. It caps off the story fantastically just like in the BG series.
Baldurs gate series best rpgs ever , nothing has the thrill of feeling like your inside the game!

Some of you are taking the whole BG and DA thing way too personally...
I enjoy DA right now because it brings an experience unlike most other games in it's today's genre. But... The Forgotten Realms franchise will always have a special place in my heart, and will always be my faveorite.
If Baldur's gate and Dragon Age were lovers in my life, the scenario would be something out of a soap opera...

I decided to try out Baldur's Gate 2 a few months ago, and yeah, it was pretty good, but MY GOD, was it confusing! When I first started it I had no-f*ing idea about how the mechanics of the game worked (I still dont understand it fully). I had to keep both the manual and google running while I was playing it.There mere fact that you are supposed to a as low armor as possable, rather then hige, took me a loooooong time to figure out.
Ashadow700 1 year ago
@Ashadow700 Yeah, it's totally counterintuitive. You'll be happy to know that in Neverwinters Nights and possibly other games that use version 3 of the rules, that made it more intuitive so that higher AC is better.

I like baldur's gate 2, It really was a fun game. For some reason I barely remember what happened in the game, besides when you get to the underground with the mind flayers. Lol at the demon lord who appears "HAHAHA MOST AMUSING, THE BHAALSPAWN HAS TRICKED YOU, THESE ARE NOT THE REAL DRAGON EGGS EITHER!". For some reason I always found that to be an epic moment.
The underwater city was pretty cool too.

The BG2 Portrait artwork is masterfully done, who didn't find Imoen & Aerie attractive? And Minsc & Boo are the most underrated and loving sidekicks ever!
The realistic personalities shine through and in that aspect no game will ever come close to making you really feel like they are believable D&D characters, Dragon Age was to sexist and for some reason I stopped playing it after just a day.

@konoko1984 Perhaps I misunderstand your post, but both Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 are Black Isle? So if you think this is the best of infinity, you are still supporting Black Isle. Most infinity games were Developed by Black Isle and Published by Bioware.

@y2010m1 Elder scrolls and Baulder's Gate are the classic example of games that bring you into the fantasy realm, their ambient music spirtually washes over you. The feeling of elegence and tranquility roams over your mind, the thing about fantasy games is that they set apart the boundry between the unknown and the known world, you really feel like that there is something out there.

Flicker455 1 year ago 27
Woot, NWN2 was epic as hell, just becuase it had a structure similiar to Baldurs gate. if you played NWN2 in 2006 without the patches it must have sucked.
Meeh, NWN1´s orginal campaign had no companions or a worldmap and that sucked
Ericzeppe 1 year ago
And oh, NWN2´s expansion "mask of the betrayer" was a really good continuation on the story just like "Throne of Bhaal" was for BG2. If you gave up on NWN2 cuz of the bugs i suggest you to try it again with all patches. Sure its still glitchy but with "mask of the betrayer" its soo worth it
Ericzeppe 1 year ago
@Ericzeppe I've played thru all of NWN, with the exception of the last expansion pack. It was decent, and I quite enjoyed the first one. MoTB was a bit short though.
Flicker455 1 year ago
ok, then you know what you are talking about. A good game raped by bugs n glitches
Too bad, with more patches it could have been the new Baldurs gate.
"Storm of Zehir" expansion is just like "Shadows of undretide", Not very good and not really bad either, just average.
The only good thing about "SOZ" was the elite-style gaming with trading , freeroaming, and the jungle enviroment. So if you are RPG starved its a decent timekiller. "Hordes of the underdark" is still the best nwn--expansion yet
Ericzeppe 1 year ago
@Flicker455 you havent really played NWN until you have finished HOTU. It's like missing TOB. It caps off the story fantastically just like in the BG series.
