Baldur's Gate 2

Author: Pc,

Amazon.com Product Description In Baldur's Gate 2: Shadow of Amn, you face an uncertain future, with a lineage that tempts the unscrupulous to use you and the ignorant to fear you. You will face a foe that views you as no more than chattel and that toys with you at every turn; a villain whose goals go beyond a quest for power and who threatens to use a lost companion as a tool for unparalleled destruction. The choices to be made will not be easy, and you may have to align with the lesser of evils, even though all evils cannot help but seem equal. In the end you will have mourned lost loves, celebrated new ones, and had adventures that profoundly shaped the Realms.Pretty much thought of as the KING of old-school RPGs. This beast of a game is a few years old now and the graphics are outdated. DoesnÃƒÃ‚Â¢t matter, play it anyway! What can I say about Baulder's Gate? The game is epic in length, so epic that you can put a hundred hours of play time into this game and still have more to see. As for the gameplay itself, it's phenomenal -- Baulder's Gate is that sort of RPG paragon that all other RPG games attempt to imitate but always seem to fall short. What really makes this game special is the strength of the story. The game is massive and sprawling, but the personal stories and interactions with your party members really give the game personality. Throughout the course of the game you learn plot details about your party members and, should you interact with them in such a way that they trust you, and open up more plot details. This really adds something unique to the game -- in the midst of a grand good versus evil struggle of the main plot, the well-written side plots are a genuine pleasure. Baulder's Gate 2 is the perfect example of what an RPG should be -- massive, great gameplay, loads of quests and things to do, and a hell of a good story. This is one fantasy RPG game that you don't want to miss. By far, I rate this as one of the best rpg games ever.
