DESCRIPTION

Based in the Forgotten Realms' Advanced Dungeons & Dragons universe, Baldur's Gate includes slightly modified second edition AD&D rules. The game features dynamic lighting, real-time environmental effects, six unique races, and 26 classes and subclasses. Players step into the role of an orphan who gets thrust into an adventure along the Sword Coast. Throughout the Sword Coast players will meet many non-player characters (NPCs) who can join their party. NPCs are not completely controlled by the player as they have their own beliefs and will often get into arguments with one another. Instead of playing with the computer characters, users can choose to play through the main story on a LAN or via the Internet with up to five other players. ~ All Game Guide
