Pure masterpiece. The best true RPG ever made. There is no game, calling itself RPG surpassed Baldur's Gate.
Thrilling and unpredictable scenario, great use of D&D rules, amazing modding freedom...
One of the greatest things in the game is the characters. There are lots of them, and they are all different...Different biographies, skills, emotions towards you.
It is ashame that Black Isle Studios went down..They really deserve their place in the wall of honor.
If you decide to play this game, which is HIGHLY recommended, dont forget to pick up Minsc, the Ranger berserker with his little buddy Boo, the giant miniature space hamster and Lilacor +3, the talking sword from the sewers in the Slums district. What fun!
If you havent played Baldur's Gate, you havent played RPG at all.
