The Benchmark for all RPGs.

User Rating: 10 | Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal PC
By Anofalye | Review Date:
It is getting old, dated, from another era. Still, it remains strong, as the ultimate benchmark for any RPG. Just think about it, 2 years is an eternity in gaming, most players would have change PC...this game is many generations old, and it remains as THE benchmark.

I could have pick the first, the 2nd, the sword coast expansion, but for me, this is all the same and it culminate in this final expansion!

- The story is great.

-The game system used the best RPG mechanics available by this time (or the most popular, still, for me D&D was always better then their competitor, although rolemaster would be definitely interesting to see on a computer, but that is digressing). Progression is logical and clear.

- Although a betrayal to GBT games, it manages, so despite been a lowly non-GBT hybrid, it get my full and unconditional support...unlike successors who drift aways and lose substance.

- The NPCs interactions are great, the ending are marvelous.

Reviewing such a title, with soo many years after playing and enjoying it for the first time only add to the credits and validity of this great game.

We have a lasting testament to gaming with this game!

    Despite being an expansion which most would thought to be mere 10 hour fillers, Throne of Bhaal proves to be a power-packed game that can go up to 40-50 hours (if you include Watcher's Keep). With an 8 million exp cap an... Read Full Review
