Leave a Review Baldur's Gate II
Best Game
This Game is about understanding the difference between Good and Bad; between Reality and Imagination.
5 Stars for Porting it through Space and Time on to iPad.
Now if only it would download faster then I could rate it honestly 7/5Adam, The First Man
One of the all time great games
Updated for V2.5
I gave this another play through with a newer device and an updated version. I think there were a 2 crashes but overall it was excellent! Back up to 5 stars!
Updated for V2.4.71
My previous glowing review holds up but I reduced a star because the recent update has caused changes.
The game has a new interface which looks pretty good and the character resolutions have been increased. The downside is I have found the game to crash fairly often which is extremely frustrating. The game also seems to run slower which is also disappointing. If the crashing is fixed with subsequent update it is a 5 Star game
This game is simply excellent. It has a huge world, deep combat, a good story and memorable characters.
I played the old PC version several times through and I enjoy the enhanced content. The game really needed more neutral and evil characters because there was no choices to make an evil party. The two new evil characters flesh it out nicely. Another neutral character is nice for variety and a monk is cool because I like monks and female characters needed a romance option that wasn't condescending.
I completely recommend this title IF: you have an iPad (the phone is just too small); you are willing to take some time to learn the game mechanics (it can take a bit to get going); you can accept a RPG where some choices are "wrong" ones (you can be evil but there will be consequences)Show lessjonesr

Can I ask you to report your crashes at support.baldursgate.com ? The game will get the 2.5 patch after an open beta for the PC version, and any feedback is useful.Bug
Huge bug that prevent me from escaping the identification menu when i was wondering what type of shield i would be picking up. Couldn’t restart while saving my game and had to force quit the game and had me restarting fully my play... really upset.ramasinasimasa
Exporting/Importing characters sucks
Great game to play but major fail on exporting/importing characters. The "long hold on auto-save" doesn't work and no way to access folders without jailbreaking.
I just spent weeks building a party with plans to develop further in SoD and SoA only to discover AFTER purchasing both you can't export from BG1 or import into BG2.
Please make exporting simpler!!!!Show lessGdiddy72113
Worth it
Hundreds of hours of contents and just $10 dollars, great voice acting, and great story. The D&D rules are a bit complicated thou.tilmmmm
Great Port but HARD to see
It’s Baldur’s Gate 2. One of my all time favourite games period. I have purchased this game many many times over over the years, and this was no disappointment... save ONE annoying bug and of course, the ridiculously small and hard to read text/user interface/icons
The bug. It’s multiplayer only. Create a party of more than one and watch from the beginning that your ‘party leader’ (in the top position on the right side of the screen) comes in 4th position when moving your party with all members selected. It follows all the different selectable party orientations and is VERY annoying. Your party leader in the 1st position on the left should always be the FIRST in line when moving your party around. But alas, this is the issue. To have a workaround, you have to put your party order on the right side to have the one you want in ‘front’ to be in the 4th position to have him actually be in ‘front’... but then he isn’t your party leader anymore
I hope they patch this. I love this game. Even though I have to hold it inches from my face to pick out one red coloured spell icon from the next, let alone dare an attempt to READ a journal entry
Recommended? Absolutely! To anyone that doesn’t mind the VERY small text and is going to skip the multiplayer aspect
5/5 and yes, it’s exactly as you remember it. Just much... smaller lolShow lessAurianis
How do you import a character from BG1?
I also have BG1 and I can’t import characters from BG1, the files don’t appear in the selection of BG2 (neither the BG2 ones appear in BG1)Aasantam

Hit Points
Overall this port is excellent.
However, there is an issue with hit points when leveling up. When your player and the rest of your groups characters hit level 11 they start getting only 1 hp each time they level up. This is a real problem for your “tanks.” By the time you get to Firkrag the dragon your melee fighters don’t have enough hit points to win the battle.
Hopefully this problem can be fixed.Show lessJhd1313

Greetings! If a door is locked, then you either must have points in Open Locks (for a thief), to the door can be opened by a key. Hi! About HPs. You stop getting a ton of HPs when reaching lvls 9-10. Check out the manual: https://siegeofdragonspear.com/files/AdventurersGuide.pdf
