Baldur's Gate

Pros: Story Line interesting
Cons: Too many controls to remember; Hard to control chars.

I read the reviews. I saw the commotion. It was absolutely horrid for me to play. First off, you start off with one character, making the stats with rolls of "dice". That was the fun part. You then take the character around different...

Pros: Sound, story-line, gameplay, difficulty is just perfect (once you learn how to play)
Cons: Not spectacular graphics, rather slow on multiplayer, high learning curve (for non AD&D players)

Baldur's Gate, with a possible exception of Final Fantasy Seven, is the best Role Playing Game I have ever played. I have played numerous AD&D based computer games, and I thought that the franchise was hopeless. But guess what? It isn't. With...

Pros: Great Graphics and Sound, Easy Interface to Master
Cons: Not Multi-player friendly

After seeing the previews for Baldur's Gate on Interplay's Home Pages, I pre-ordered the game. I have been an RPG player since Ultima I came out in the mid-80s.

The game is set in the world of Forgotten Realms. The newest world from TSR....

Pros: Great graphics, good story involvement, HUGE game.
Cons: Collecting some spells are a tad tricky.

This game baits you into it just as the title states. It's story is complex, and quite involving. There are hundreds of NPC's, and well over 20 joinable NPC's. People get their money's worth on this one simply by playing the game all the way through. It...

Pros: Huge world, great story.
Cons: Not 3D Accelerated.

When I first played this game I have to admit I was not immediately impressed with the graphics. Having come from a 3-d accelerated world of Halflife and Unreal, it took time to adjust to the less action driven storyline in Baldur's Gate.
Once...

Pros: D & D system, nice ambience
Cons: Real time, Faulty Multi-player implementation

I love D & D. Always have. I was nearly addicted to the Goldbox games. Baldur's Gate is a worthy successor, but I think they tried to do much with it. So far, Computer Role-Playing Games (CRPG's) have been unable to be both good single player and...

Pros: Everything about it!!!
Cons: not a thing

This game rocks! I was totally engrossed in this game. I have been playing this game for almost a year and still have not beat it. The story line is sooooooo well written. What happens is that your father Gorian has been killed by a mysterious person...

Pros: very detailed good plot, and very good multi-player
Cons: when someone is buying something they are the only person that is allowed to do something.

Baldur's Gate is one of the best RPGs that I think I have ever played. It is a very good single player game it is also a very good multi-player game. The only problem that I think that their is with the multi-player is that when someone is buying...

Pros: Great graphics, Great gameply, Great adventures, A well built game
Cons: Not able to import a custom character without a tecnical degree

I have played many D&D titles throughout the years, As well as playing the regular RPG style with friends. Still this is one of the best versions of the game system.

I think that it can be made better although, please don't get me wrong...

Pros: Best RPG to have ever come out!
Cons: none really

Baldur's Gate has all of it's game rules from AD&D! Baldur's Gate has realistic interactions, you don't just go out and fight, you have the main quest and more. You have smaller quest that you can do such as get this woman's Flamedance ring back...

Pros: Variety of roles, great gameplay, ease of use.
Cons: Cheating runs rampant.

If you wish to make this game a more challenging, enjoyable experience then do not visit those cheat sites. Cheating makes this game a boring drive through cinema. What I mean is that without the challenge its just like watching a boring movie going...

Pros: Greatest RPG
Cons: none

Baldur's Gate is probably the best RPG that I have played in a long time. The graphics were great even on my Gateway Solo with its 1 meg video card. Multiplayer is great, although there were a few minor glitches. Modem play was impossible, so don't...

Pros: intensive character development
Cons: too easy

Baldur's gate is a great game, sort of. It has all the things that made D+D great like highly specific character development and storylines so rich you'll drool. On the other hand it falls prey to the flaw that ruins the fun of so many games, in the end...

Pros: Great Role Playing Experience, 100+ hours of adventuring,
Cons: Pathfinding, Walking Speed

This game has a lot going for it; great graphics, beautiful background music, in-depth storyline, developed NPCs, and AD&D lisence. What more could you ask for! You create a character from 6 different races (Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Gnome,...

Pros: very detailed and interesting with good graphics
Cons: some clues are hard to figure out

If you have a couple of weeks of free time, this Dungeons & Dragons type roleplaying game is for you. It is a rich fantasy world, replete with characters who interact in interesting ways with your party. Just getting to the city itself is an...
