- One of the Defining Games of the Decade
Before Baldur's Gate, Dungeons & Dragons was something only known in dimly lit basements with a gaggle of awkward teenage boys. While still far from mainstream, the Baldur's Gate series takes the complex D&D system and brings it into the mainstream, pairing it with an interesting story and an easy-to-use playing system.

More than its predecessor, Baldur's Gate II is an engaging game with something for everyone. The game has one main quest, and dozens of sidequests, large and small. While the fighting is still entertaining, with many challenging battles, it does not dominate the game. The largest improvements, however, are the addition of romances, strongholds, and kits for each class.

The romances serve no real purpose in moving the story along, but rather intertwine with the entire game, and are worked in very well with the main quest as a whole. More than anything, the romances simply add a personal side to the game, with the character(s) being romanced changing over the course of the story as the romance developes. A woman protagonist has only one romance option, which is a shame because he starts out an utter ass (though his personality does improve over time) and men have three women to flirt with, though each woman is extremely different. Overall, a wonderful addition to the game.

Strongholds, one of the other great additions, are accessed after you finish the stronghold quest. Any class can complete the stonghold quest, freeing the actors, saving the keep ect., but only one quest grants a specific class access to their stronghold. For example, the bard class can aid a group of actors in getting home; once the quest is completed, the bard gets the departed actors' playhouse, and performs a play there for an audience. Every class has a different stronghold, and each stronghold has entertaining quests. Overall, a great addition to the game, one that really adds to replayability.

The Ultimate Collection is valuable because it contains Throne of Bhaal and a bonus disc. Throne of Bhaal completes the Baldur's Gate saga, and adds an interesting end quest, as well as extending the romances, but also adds kits. After a certain level, each class gains extra abilities. With mages, these are extra spell slots and new, awesome spells; thiefs have the most interesting kit abilities, like gaining the ability to use any item, regardless of class restrictions.

The bonus CD is lamentably sparse. It adds virtually nothing of substance, and a few extra files that can be easily downloaded from any self-respecting BGII website. However, the Ultimate Edition is the version of the game to buy, simply because the Bonus CD is a little interesting, and, more importantly, it's impossible to buy any other version new. Also, $15 is a great price even for just BGII and Throne of Bhaal, so the bonus CD almost seems free.

In all, the Baldur's Gate series was a definitive RPG, and it's aged incredibly well, as the time since it was released has only served to make the load times faster and the play sweeter, since most games now are strategy or online. The graphics have aged well too, since they were paintings, which means that they retain beauty and elegance even when outclassed by the 3D games of today. Definitely an essential to anyone who likes interesting quests paired with a good story.

- I love a good RPG
I grew up with RPGs. When I was in 4th grade my dad bought me Ultima 4 and it changed my life forever. Since that time I have played a lot of games but I have never felt as engrossed as I did playing Ultima until now. Baldur's Gate II has a great storyline, well developed characters, and makes for a great playing experience. I highly recommend this game!

- baldurs gate II the ultimate collection
the ultimate collection has a major problem. it asks for 5 disks to install it and there are only four that come with the set! it seems the manufacturer of the CD's tried to compact it without adjusting the program. so it doesnt run without making changes to the programing. what a crock. if you want me to buy your game it had better work correctly!
