  • A great RPG that everyone should play (granted that they have free time)

    Just bought this game after being on an RPG crave with a need for a deep combat system, story, and characters. This game is all that and more, seriously I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of the game and I’ve already spent hours on mere side quests. My only qualms is that trying to get to the description of items while in the character menu is a tad frustrating and that sometimes trying to get downstairs, open doors, walk into rooms through said doors, tapping on ?’s sometimes just makes your party go there and not activate the function. If pressure touch was put into the game to allow easier access to description/use menus for items that would be perfect. Other than those things I am enjoying this game thoroughly.

  • Great game with glaring bugs!

    I had reached the fire giant boss, defeated him, and then his heart had disappeared because I clicked through the screen and it disappeared (never to be found again). Spent an hour and a half scouring the map in case I missed something- but no. It was just /gone/. Emailed the devs, received no response, so uninstalled game.

  • Become the Lord of Murder.

    I played this game like crazy growing up on pc and I still own the old pc version with spiral bound manual.

    You play as one of the Children of Bhaal the lord of murder. In part one you saved the sword coast from the brink of being subverted into civil war by your brother Sarevok. Now you must escape the dungeon of Irenicus and fight your way through the city of amn gaining companions and powers. You will unlock your potential, become the avatar of murder, the ravager. You must save your half sister Imoen and take your revenge on Irenicus and follow him into the nine hells.

    Will your take your place on the throne of murder? Or will you reject your destiny? Or better yet, for the good of man, will your create your own destiny?

    Playing with an iPhone 8 and the screen is good enough for me.

  • Amazing

    Almost exactly as I remember it from when I played it in my childhood. Any bugs others have encountered appear to have been fixed. Would recommend only playing on an iPad as it would be a bit small on a phone. Also comes with the Throne of Bhaal expansion pack and the Black Pits 2.
  • How do you import from BG1?

    You have to hold on the save as button and wait for it to offer places to save, and then choose BG2. Works pretty well after that...

    Great follow up to BG, maybe even better in some ways.

    ———————
    I click the import button and nothing is there, even though I have completed and have a final save in BG1.

    I want to use my character that I've spend so much time with already. I'm very disappointed right now. Will update when this is sorted out.

  • Not a casual game. Worth every penny. Play for years.

    If you are reading this having never heard of this game, know that it is considered by many to be the best RPG of all time. Like, in the realm that Dark Side of the Moon and Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is to rock albums.

    It is deep, challenging and complex, and it invented the concept of "your actions determine the ending" and "non-player characters have feelings too" seen on so many games today. It was this game that made Bioware into a serious game developer. (Dragon Age was made to be the "spiritual successor" of this game.)

    It originally came out in the late nineties, which may make you think it's too old to be good. It does have some old schoolness, and there has been a lot of innovations since. But the Mona Lisa is from the renaissance. Is it too old to be good? If you want a game that has meat and will give you years of fun, don't pass on the Mona Lisa. Buy this game along with its predecessor Baldur's Gate I.

  • Glad for the 64 bit update!!

    I am able to play this on iOS 11 on an iPad Pro and the extra screen space is very nice!! There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing major. That said I have had a few NPCs spawn all over the place and in small to large numbers. The head Priest of Helm was everywhere and I killed a couple because I was sick of looking at 15 of the one and only High Priest of Helm and now all of Helm is against me if I walk in their temple!!!!! No quest for the ore you need to augment the mace of disruption because of that. I’ve also had the Master of Combat from Rasaad’s quest, and Pheasants appear everywhere and anywhere. No major flaws with the update so far. I’m about to end Shadow of Amn, but finishing up Watcher’s Keep first.

  • Best iOS game I've played

    This is easily the best game I’ve played on iOS. This series is new to me, as I never played on PC. To new players: 1) This is a fairly complex and time-consuming game. 2) I recommend playing BG1 first, as it was too overwhelming for me starting with BG2. BG1 is simpler and has a nice tutorial for new players, which BG2 doesn’t have. (On the downside, BG1 maps tend to have a lot of “empty” space in their outdoor maps, so using online maps with BG1 are nice in order to see where the interesting points are.) The most frustrating part of this game is the spell system, as there are so many spells to potentially learn and understand. BUT, you really can delve as much or as little into it as you want, as using a fighter heavy groups is totally viable (the Inquisitor and Berserker classes can help in certain ways here), and you can always adjust the difficult setting as easy or as hard as you want at any time. So, if you want a top-quality Role Playing Game and don’t mind some complexity and putting in a little time, I expect you’ll have a great experience playing Baulder’s Gate.

  • Bug prevents playing

    After defeating Bodhi in chapter 6, her coffin doesn't appear. This blocks any option to continue, and no console to overcome this bug, so basically that's it - you are stuck and no way of playing further
