Baldur's Gate

It feels almost weird to review a game that was made almost 10 years ago, but the fact that it still holds a place as one of the best games I've ever played speaks volumes of it's qualities. The story, the game-play, the very world you play in are all parts that make up this masterpiece. In this game, and it's even better sequel, BG 2 - Shadows of Amn, I AM Talle, an orphan from Candlekeep, whom is forced to leave his home and try to survive in a beautiful and at times dangerous Faurun. Few games has made me feel so involved. In fact the only games that compares are the above-mentioned Shadows of Amn, Planescape Torment and Fallout 1 & 2, all products of Interplays daring and artistic vision. With risk of sounding like an old man I have to say it's a shame they don't do games like these anymore.

If you can't find someone to play Dungeons and Dragons with, try your computer. The game is well designed, uses good graphics, and involves a moving story. In a word, it is fun. The Non Player Characters who join your party are easy to like/dislike, they are well designed characters.

When I first played this game it was ridiculously awesome! Only to be toooed by the sequel!

Here we go...

BALDURS Gate was a fun, literal adventurous game. It was an RPG, geek game. I was only maybe 8 when I played and I dominated this game as an 8 year old. I didn't understand it but I was able to go far into the game.

It was so much fun. My favourite qoute that I remember to this dsywas "stand back or the guards will have thee".

Very fun times.

There are lots of RPG among VG, some good and some really bad. But BG I is probably the Greatest. It's a masterpiece. The storyline is awesome, the freedom of choices and moves ( often a problem in RPG ) are huge and the realization is brilliant ( the voices are funny for most characters and creepy for the bad guys, the visuals are awesome ) . The scene were the main character learn is true identity in the library is really distressing and the twists are unexpected and huge. But what make this game unique are all the quest that the player may accomplish in more of the main quest. I can't write more.

Really brilliant 10/10
