Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is an isometric role-playing game about a group of adventurers caught up in the maelstrom of events on the Sword Coast. The party is assembled according to taste: you can take ready-made companions or create heroes from scratch. The rules are taken from the tabletop system, so characteristics, classes and rolls have weight, and the battle can be paused and disposed of each. The companions have personalities and do not always get along with each other, and their stories are revealed as the journey progresses. The updated version added a user-friendly interface, support for modern systems and a small set of new adventures. There is also a network game where one of the participants leads the game. Classes differ not only in skills, but also in equipment: archers, mages and warriors need completely different items. There are both serious and everyday tasks, and some of them are solved without a fight. Saves are arranged conveniently, so unsuccessful battles are not worth replaying the entire chapter. Community modifications have expanded the content, but you can play without them. Companions can leave the squad if the hero behaves inappropriately, so it’s worth keeping an eye on your reputation. Traps and ambushes in dungeons require exploration, not force. In addition to the main line, there are guild quests that unlock equipment. Modifications add heroes and items, but even without them the game is self-sufficient. Classes differ in play style, so you should assemble a squad to suit your approach. Such orders reward not only money, but also rare items. There is a lot of text, and it is good: dialogues, descriptions, jokes. Anyone who loves classic role-playing games and is ready to read, this publication is suitable.
