Neera is definitely my favorite, not just because she’s helplessly charming and her writing is probably the best and most hilarious between the three, but also because dragging a Wild Mage around is a lot of fun, with all the unexpected effects she can trigger to spice things up quite a bit. But now Overhaul Games brought back Baldur’s Gate with this Enhanced Edition, and with it the “advanced” simplicity of AD&D 2nd edition.įor those that lived under a massive rock in the last fourteen years, the story is deceivingly simple at the beginning, only to become delightfully complex as it progresses towards the end of the game (and into the sequel): the main character knows nothing of his parents and heritage, and has been raised since his earliest memories in the fortress of Candlekeep by the mage Gorion. It has never felt the same since it lost that “ Advanced” from the title.

Then, as the years passed, further editions made my passion for Dungeons & Dragons waver and fade. Baldur’s Gate was completely different from the games I had played before, as it paired perfectly the same AD&D rules I used with my pen & paper group with incredible writing, awesome characters and revolutionary (for the time) isometric graphics made possible by the Infinity Engine. Back then I was an avid player of the second edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, and I felt that video games, while awesome, simply weren’t able to reproduce the same level of enjoyment. A little more than fourteen years ago my outlook on PC RPGs was forever changed by the Release of Baldur’s Gate.
