The Baldur's Gate Collection (EU)

This is probably my favorite PC game ever. I have played both games, both expansions so many times. Every time you change things up even a little bit - different class for your PC, different party members, NO party members, taking different options in dialogue - you see something new. And the dialogue! Some of the best writing you'll ever see in a game. And none of that includes the wealth of third-party mods. If you have a short attention span and feel like something's missing when your screen isn't splattered with gore, this is not the game for you. This is a long, intricate, beautifully-written plot, with great replay value even after you know all the twists. My only problem with the BG series is my tendency to misplace a disk, and with them now on DVD and neatly packaged together even this is no longer an issue.

I never had the chance to play these games so I ordered them about a month ago, I have a new pc with Win 7 so I was worried about being able to get this game running on a new pc after reading so many forums where people were having trouble. I installed the 1st game in less than 5 minutes and it worked on the 1st try and has worked everytime since with no problems!!! Works perfect on my new Windows 7, there are a couple of draw backs, the game no longer supports updates or even the manual so you will have to dig around online if you want that stuff as well, I never played these games so a manual would make it so so much easier. All and all I'm very happy with the purchase and I am very much enjoying the games.

I have been playing this game for almost a year and have only started the second of the four dvds. There are so many things to do and places to go. I would recommend reading a walkthrough for this game. This is a very good game to learn how to play mage. I have never played as a mage before, but to be competetive in this game one of your characters will need to use spells.

This is a great nostalgic trip down memory lane to play.

I honestly wasn’t able to play the game as setting up a character was so difficult and complex, however, if you are very familiar with Dungeons and Dragons, you will love it.

QUICK SHIP AND WAS AS DESCRIBED

I had the original Baldur's Gate II discs and been playing it so I decided to buy this for the expansion and first Baldur's Gate. After installing it on my computer I found numerous problems. The game repeatedly froze and would ask for me to insert the program disc when changing screens but would not recognize the discs. It simply doesn't work. I tried to uninstall and start over and same problem. Tried various levels of install from minimum to custom nothing worked. Waste of money.

If you were ever one of those people who loved the pen and paper version of dungeons and dragons you owe it to yourself to pick up these games. They are STILL the best role playing games. With this collection you will have countless hours of entertainment (100+ hrs easily). The storyline of this series is one of the best. graphically, it is dated, but still works on a Windows 7 64bit OS. I've had no issues with the games and they still to this day run flawlessly. BG1 is available on [...] for $[...] USD digitally, but I prefer a hard copy of these games. Amazon was quick on delivery and I had no issues in the packaging.
