Baldur's Gate

Pros: Great story Easy interface Easy to learn Real AD&D rules
Cons: It can ruin your social life.

Before I start my opinion, I will tell you, I really am addicted to fantasy. I played D&D on my Commodore 64, almost without graphics and I loved that.

So you can imagine that when I heard about the game I went to the store and bought it...

Pros: great graphics, good storyline, lots of room for character customization
Cons: sometimes the characters get lost and seperated from the party in the mazes - needs better AI engine

I finally finished this game! Oh yeah...it took me 6 months. No telling how many times I died, usually because of hidden traps and rushing stupidly into a fight with a much larger group of monsters.

I have played ALL of the AD&D games...

Pros: Great graphics, good music, and difficult puzzles to solve.
Cons: DVD only, lots of empty space that takes to much time to travel through.

This game takes place along the Sword Coast in the Forgotten Realms of AD@D, from the very beginning you are swept into a complex tale of gods, deceptions, and mysteries. This was the very first DVD game that I ever played and I was not disappointed in...

Pros: action packed, realistic
Cons: a little slow to learn

I loved playing D&D during college and have always wanted to play on the PC. I have tried other games, but it was not D&D like I knew it to be. That was until my husband brought home Baulder's Gate. I love this game and I just started playing...

Pros: Graphics, Gameplay, Realistic
Cons: Few Erorrs and compadibilty (patches fix this)

Baldurs Gate, why do we all love it? Maybe because, for its time (so far) it is probably the best well designed RPG of these, lets say.. 2 years? Well, maybe not the most popular...that would go to Blizzard's Diablo II, but BG is awesome.

...

Pros: Multiplayer
Cons: a lot of lag in multiplayer

dungeons and dragons a game played by nerd and lonley losers never looked and played better from casting magic to beating the snot out of orge's this game was great.I spent probaly 4 to 5 days on heat.net playing with my friends the sound was amazing...

Pros: Good solid gameplay, Kicking Graphics
Cons: Fed Ex missions

As a long time fan of RPG computer games.. I purchased this AWESOME game and promptly sat down for a long session of exploring the Sword Coast.. after a few hours my enjoyment of the game had dimmed a bit for the following reasons:

1. FED - EX...

Pros: Customization of your character
Cons: Not many!] Things that are missing from D&D that are very minute, except to us D&D geeks.

I would love to just spend an entire day playing this game! I never want to get off of it. You can lose yourself in this game so easily it is kind of scary. The graphics are great (check out Color Fan spell). The story-line is extremely well-thought out....

Pros: Ease of play, good characterization
Cons: Too linear

I am from a family of gamers - Mom is a DM and Dad is one of the Realms' greatest clerics - so I was destined to play Baldur's Gate. I truly enjoyed playing the game, and would have loved it if it had been less linear. I HATE being forced to go down...

Pros: nice sounds,graphics
Cons: a slow game

you want my opinion?
i'd say its one of the best game i ever buy.Why?
i really love those kind of games,you choose your fighter his strength and weakness.2d graphics but they are really cool
the sound is...really beautiful!!
I played...

Pros: Excellent graphics and story line
Cons: Takes a long time to play

This is one of the best games I have played in any category. If you want control over not just what your character does, but how they develop, this game is unbelievable. The actions you take determine your character's traits and adjust the developments...

Pros: Good Graphics, Good Gamplay, Good AI,Fun, Real D&D rules
Cons: bad choices of things to say you don't always get what you want to say

Baulders Gate is an RPG. I thought that it was dumb the first time I saw it in stores, but finally I gave in and bought it. Baulders Gate is by far the best RPG I have played. It is Number One on my list of cool games. You Customize how your characters...

Pros: Classic AD&D style play in a PC form.
Cons: Can be slow on low end system when displaying multiple animations.

It was in the late 70's that I first got a taste of RPG's. AD&D, Avalon Hill board games and the like were great. Then I played various console RPG games but they lacked the comraderie of friends. Then came PC RPG'S. They were better on the PC but...

Pros: interactivity, scenery, engaging plot
Cons: loading time

I haven't explored the computer RPG genre much, but I doubt I could do much better than Baldur's Gate. I also bought the expansion pack- Tales of the Sword Coast (which added to my enjoyment of the game since I could go to higher levels and explore more...

Pros: Great game
Cons: TERRIBLE Customer Service

Baldur's Gate is a great game, but Bioware/Interplay have poor execution on the customer service front. I bought three copies (two for friends) and we all had problems with CDs 3 & 4. After a few weeks a post was made on the site that they...
