This game is optimized for tablets and not recommended for phones with screen sizes under 7 inches. Kidnapped. Imprisoned. Tortured. The wizard Irenicus holds you captive in his stronghold, attempting to strip you of the powers that are your birthright. As you escape and step back into the wider world, the question at the heart of the Bhaalspawn saga becomes impossible to ignore. Can you resist the evil in your blood and forsake the dark destiny that awaits you? Or will you embrace your monstrous nature within and ascend to godhood as the new Lord of Murder? Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition brings one of the most celebrated RPGs of all time back for modern adventurers, preserving the depth, atmosphere, and storytelling that defined the golden age of cRPGs.
