Sure, this came out in the late 90s, but there isn’t any reason why it couldn’t be sharper or, dare I say – redrawn. For an enhanced edition, the graphics were a let-down, as were the animations. The introduction got me relatively excited about the game until the game began.
This was all before even playing the actual game. Furthermore, there was then the option to have the character a law-abiding evil-doer or a chaotic one and the choice of a bio for the character. A refreshing little quirk here was that when creating a class, there are additional subclasses, in this case, a dark paladin. In fear of being unpredictable, I went for a paladin as in these type of games, I like a tank that can heal. There is an abundance of sorcerers, shamans and necromancers to some degree too. Types include archers, fighters and paladins. The selections are quite in-depth, but familiar classes we’ve come to expect in an RPG. Now I’m further out of my depth – I’m thinking Dark Souls type stats – what do I need to wield a bastard sword so I can cut some folk in half?ĭelving into the Baldur’s Gate universe, one can create their own character, as one would expect. While Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance was more arcade-like in its approach, this iteration goes back to the D&D roots from the outset, makes references to D&D rules. Does that count?īaldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition is a little different from what I was expecting. Anyway, all this dice rolling and warlocks beating orcs is out of my comfort zone. What I didn’t know, which is perhaps obvious to many, is Baldur’s Gate comes under the Dungeons & Dragons banner, and to be frank my knowledge of D&D is a bunch of teenagers who rode an ill-fated rollercoaster, later being harassed by a one-horned demon. Now the original is being re-released, this time on the PS4, in the form of Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition. I loved it and recently bought it again for the PS2. It was in the style of a Diablo game where you took control of a warrior from a list of classes and dashed around roughing up fantasy folk for new loot. Back in the late 90s or early 00s, I used to play a game called Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance.
