Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is a role-playing game set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. You create a hero, recruit companions and travel across the Sword Coast in search of adventure, fortune and long-buried truths. The story begins when mysterious circumstances force you to leave Candlekeep, where you grew up in the fortress library under the protection of your foster father, Gorion. You are drawn into a conflict that threatens to ignite the Sword Coast.

Campaign and challenges

The game includes the original Baldur’s Gate campaign, the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion and The Black Pits, an arena mode built around tactical battles. Story Mode offers a more relaxed way to play, while Legacy of Bhaal provides a difficult challenge. Optional DLC, Siege of Dragonspear, continues the saga with a new chapter. The included content offers over 75 hours of gameplay.

Heroes and companions

You can choose from 11 core classes and dozens of subclasses, and customize your hero with new voice sets. Companions include Minsc, his hamster Boo, and Jaheira, as well as Neera the Wild Mage, Dorn Il-Khan the Blackguard and Rasaad yn Bashir the Monk. Your choices shape your journey across the Sword Coast.

Combat and rules

The game uses a 2D isometric perspective and real-time-with-pause combat, with rules adapted from 2nd Edition AD&D.

Edition refinements

The Enhanced Edition includes thousands of fixes and improvements to the original game, along with native widescreen and high-resolution options.
