All about game Baldur's Gate
Baldur’s Gate is a classic fantasy role-playing video game developed by BioWare and published in 1998. It was the first game to use the Infinity Engine for its graphics, which would later be used for other games based on Forgotten Realms such as Icewind Dale series and Planescape: Torment. The game takes place in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting using a modified version of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) 2nd edition rules.
Players control their own protagonist who must travel across Sword Coast alongside a party of companions to unravel the mystery behind an iron crisis affecting the region, while also uncovering secrets about their origins and trying to avoid attempts on their life. Throughout their journey, players will battle creatures from D&D lore such as trolls and dragons, explore dungeons filled with puzzles and traps, interact with NPCs through dialogues that shape the story's outcomes, collect items to upgrade character stats or craft powerful weapons and armor pieces.
The Baldur’s Gate series has become iconic among RPG fans due to its deep story line full of twists, compelling characters that can join your party during your quest such as Minsc/Boo or Edwin Odesseiron as well as its visually appealing environments powered by Infinity Engine. The original title still stands strong even after more than 20 years since it was released so if you are looking for an exciting adventure in one of best RPG worlds ever created then look no further than Baldur's Gate!
