Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition

Dated but still worth every penny. Bg1, its expansion, siege of dragon spear and then bg2 with its expansion essentially play as one unbroken game/storyline. Amazing story but the gameplay/combat does have a learning curve if you're unfamiliar with dnd. Game has hours and hours of content that has serious replayability. This game was ahead of its time and I cannot recommend this classic title enough.

Лучшая часть в серии Baldur's и самая любимая. Рекомендую.

I found myself having a better time here than I did in the original Baldurs Gate. Most of the weaknesses of the first game remain - draining and aged/boring gameplay, endless walking and backtracking, various illusions of choice where game slaps you with game over screen even if you play in story/god mode simply because you did something the game was not prepared for you to do. I am not a fan of such combat either - despite mechanical complexity, I do not feel myself having agency over what is ongoing. Faithful adaptation of 'dice roll' tabletop? Sure, not fun though. However, unlike the first game, I did enjoy the narrative more. Most importantly - BG2 has actually become a *party-based* RPG! Companions are no longer toy soldiers with an avatar - they are characters that intervene in dialogues, quests and even argue with/confront each other. The romance questlines are impressive in particular, though I am not fond of the 'timer/cooldown' mechanic between banter. On the one hand, this prevents the dialogue and relationship from developing too quickly, but on the other - I am not willing to wander around and do uninteresting side quests just to prolong time in hopes a companion talks with me again. Yes, I am aware of the console command, which I ended up using. Soundtrack is often either praised or ignored in videogames - if its great, people sing odes to it, if it is lame and forgettable - people [i]forget[/i] it.. I won't ignore it here. I do not think it is particularly impressive or memorable. This became especially aparrent in Throne of Bhaal dlc when legendary Inon Zur took the musical reigns and actually showed what an awesome soundtrack is. As for BG1 and Shadow of Amn, the OST is generic fantasy that fails to linger in memory post-playthrough. Lastly, this game (Throne of Bhaal expansion in particular) has a satisfying feeling of closure. BG1 ended with a cutscene without further elaboration of the outcome of your choices or even dialogue/last goodbyes with companion. Not the case here. Was nice to see a more satisfying finale.

This game saved my life. I am 27. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and adopted our son together. They are now both 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I found myself lost and miserable. I was self destructive. I got so mad one day from everything spiraling out of my control that I punched some concrete in a moment of overwhelming emotion. That caused me to break my 5th metacarpal in my right hand... my working hand... my games hand.. the hand that I held and carried my children to bed with.. The hand I desperately needed to make sure I could continue to provide. After learning of the severity of my self-inflicted damage, I was borderline suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man with no history of depression or anxiety. I have never had fits of rage, or been one to break down and cry, but I was in a low spot that just really buried me from being able to see the light on the other side. Having nothing better to do, I searched for a game I could play, ONE HANDED while I recovered. I somehow stumbled upon this game and read some of the reviews. I decided that it had to be worth a shot... I must admit, I didn't beat the game, or play nearly as long as some of you. In fact, I may have only played this game a day or two.. With that being said, after doing so, I had a new found joy and hope for life. I was able to put behind me the pain and suffering that had been cast over me. I was able to experience other peoples joy and happiness. I was able to see the fruits of my "labor". I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ing minutes to this music long enough to realize that I was going to be okay. After coming to that realization, I turned the game off, and I went back to work. It hurt my hand like hell but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so damn sorry for myself, and I became the father I needed to be in that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving as. Today, I am close friend with my kids mother. We don't fight, or argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents, and friends. I now have 3 kids. My third child is, wait for it, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my own separation, and we just stumbled in to each others life unexpectedly. We have been in a relationship for a year now, and are very happy together. Moral of the story, you never know what life holds in store for you, and if I would have given up when all the odds were stacked against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you

[h1]Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition[/h1] The past year or so I've been finding that I revisit old RPGs a lot. There's just some charm and magic that isn't there in newer titles. Obviously we still get a smash hit here and there, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 being a prime example, but there's a certain lack of Western-style RPGs that really nail it as of late. I replayed Baldur's Gate: EE earlier this year and took my character through Baldur's Gate II: EE as well now. I've yet to do Throne of Bhaal, but I do look forward to it. Baldur's Gate II is an absolute classic. It's the gold standard for what CRPGs have been over the past 25 years. The game all other CRPGs aspire to be like or to be as good as. Everything Baldur's Gate I did well is improved upon in II. Seeing as you continue your character from the first game, there's not a slog of going through low levels without much action economy. You start where you left off, in my case level 8, and build even further upon that foundation. More spells, more abilities, more amazing items — all of which is needed, because the game offers quite the challenge. I played on core difficulty, and while it wasn't impossible for me by any means, having a decent amount of knowledge of the game's ruleset, Advanced D&D, there were quite a handful of fights where I had to reload multiple times. This didn't bother me at all, because it made me pause and rethink strategy. That's how these games are played. Combat-wise, there actually wasn't a dull moment in the roughly 55 hours it took for me to complete the Shadows of Amn campaign. Continuing the same character also means a continuation of the story. Here, Baldur's Gate II also shines. Even the side quests offer interesting tales and are well worth doing due to the powerful rewards. Companions are much more fleshed out, most of them having long questlines that span the game, potential conflicts with one another, and even romances, if that's your thing. Baldur's Gate II, and other gems of the past that I've replayed, just have "the sauce". Maybe it's nostalgia for a man in his 30s, but it honestly feels like they don't make 'em like they used to. They can be hard to get into, having dated graphics and systems that aren't well explained in-game, but they honestly just have depth. That's the secret "sauce" that's missing as of late, I think. Depth in the story, the systems, encounter design, and characters. Baldur's Gate II has it in spades. A classic, [b]10/10 — must-play CRPG.[/b] The first one to do it best.

增强版只是补票，但这十几年来，博德之门陆陆续续玩了上千小时。 在我心里，《博德之门2：安姆的阴影》与《巴尔王座》始终是无可替代的第一游戏。 后来我玩过很多伟大的作品，也见过游戏工业一次次向前走。画面越来越好，演出越来越震撼，世界越来越真实。但没有哪一部游戏，能像《博德之门2》一样，在我生命里留下那么深的痕迹。 它不是一部我“通关过”的 RPG。 它是一段我真正走过的旅程。 我曾从艾瑞尼卡斯的地牢里逃出，在陌生而庞大的安姆城中寻找同伴与答案；曾穿过繁复得近乎不可思议的支线、阴谋与奇遇；曾深入幽暗地域，也曾一路走到萨拉杜什与巴尔王座之前。那些地方、那些队友、那些抉择，很多年后依然像记忆，而不只是游戏内容。 今天再回头看，它的画面当然老了，系统也带着那个年代的痕迹。 但我越来越觉得，这些都不重要。真正重要的是，它曾在一个刚刚好的年纪，让我第一次明白： 游戏可以不只是娱乐，而是一个足以让人长久驻足、长久怀念的世界。 后来再伟大的 RPG，也许能在某些方面超过它；但对我而言，没有谁能替代它。 因为有些作品不是后来被“超越”的，它们会直接成为一个人审美与记忆的原点。 感谢 BioWare 感谢《安姆的阴影》 感谢《巴尔的王座》 感谢这段刻进生命里的冒险
