This was my father's favorite game. He tried making me like it a few times, when I was around 6-7 years old. Obviously I was too young to enjoy or understand it, and I usually ended up asking if I could play Skyrim or Oblivion instead (my two favorite games at the time).
Now I decided to buy it, it felt right, as opposed to cracking it like I usually do with my singleplayer games. I bought the game, read the whole manual, and played for 5 hours. I am instantly sucked in. It is only now I closed the game because I have to sleep, as I write this review it is getting late. I am sure I will enjoy this game thouroughly.

you just need to look at how long I played this game for, even being a latecomer to Baldur's Gate. It won't hold up to current gamers who are used to the plushy graphics and smooth control systems of most new titles and CRPG's aren't exactly mainstream anymore, but if there's a king of the genre this is it.

Tough to get into when you've gotten used to modern day game play. Hard to put down once it has sucked you in.

Dated but still worth every penny. Bg1, its expansion, siege of dragon spear and then bg2 with its expansion essentially play as one unbroken game/storyline. Amazing story but the gameplay/combat does have a learning curve if you're unfamiliar with dnd. Game has hours and hours of content that has serious replayability. This game was ahead of its time and I cannot recommend this classic title enough.

potato graphics, peak world, peak story, peak characters, peak quests.

75 percent of every battle is stopping your character from running into melee after you've already selected a range option. It's still a good game but I have to complain about that.
