What our customer's say!

"Baldur's Gate Original Saga with Tales of the Sword Coast Expansion Pack", I love this game because of it's complex trategies and the fact that you have to use your head at what you do plus you can choose who you have in your party and you can build up your characters as you go but you should build them up early so its not so hard to do later on in the game when you get stuck.

"It defines Linear games.", I've been playing RPG's since Final Fantasy. This game was a way to linear for me. Not enough freedom of choice. The Dungeon and Dragons; Might and Magic were my favorite type of game. You could walk anywhere as long as you had enough food.

"Great game", I received this on time. No scratches, works great. Really fun game, you can do a lot more than just play it, you can play with it.

"A classic RPG", This is a must-have for any RPG fan, and this is especially true for those of you that enjoy the lore behind Dungeons and Dragons. The original Baldur's Gate alone will take hours and hours to complete. Add to this the expansion Tales of the Sword Coast, and you have a game that will take you months to complete (unless you do nothing but play video games, then it may only take you a few weeks to complete). The storyline is really good, and the graphics, although now dated, are still very good. I enjoy the over-the-top view that this game offers, rather than the first person view of some other games. The only game I have ever played that offers the first person/over the shoulder view that works well is Morrowind.

Needless to say, pick this game up and enjoy the old school RPG at its best.

Overall = Excellent


"Blast From the Past", This Game Is even Better than I remember and Tales of the Sword Coast Add on makes it an totally incredable game the graphics the voice overs the background music I love every aspect of this game I have the entire Collection and several other BioWare made titles If you are at all a D&D fan then this game will not let you down it is the closest to the pen and paper as you can get and the multiplayer is just awsome hands down the only complaint I have with the Game isnt even a complaint really and that is that it is much harder than I remember but I have been playing BG2SOA for so long I forgot what its like to be so low of a level other than that the game is overall my all time forever most Faverite game only followed by its sequel if you are a RPG fan get this game you will not be dissapointed it has almost nearly unlimeted replay value and each time you play you will get a different play each time......enuff said

"My favorite PC game", Now usually I don't go for the fantasy D&D type games, hell usually I don't go for many games period, but this one got me. This is an extremely addictive and fun game, with plenty of sword fighting, archery, and magic.

The basic plot is that you are a character searching the realms for answers concerning your past and your murdered stepfather. As you go along, you can choose certain people to accompany you in your travels and battles.

Plenty of action, plenty of thought required to play and plan out your strategies, plenty of fun. 5 stars.

"Nice, but that's it", Hi there folks,
The gameplay here is much like others using the same engine: Planescape: Torment and Baldur's Gate II, for example - You're in control of a party, and you click around an area map for them to move around, or to issue orders in a combat.
Combat that can be a great fun, and that's a good thing, because you'll spend a great deal of the game in it. Personally, I'm more of a turn-based player, but the D&D rules system compensated in this point. It could be very boring, but as you're constantly achieving new powers and meeting different foes, it keeps up nicely to the end of the game.
Also, the loot you get from combat is fun to manage, as you may find a variety of magic items that will help you in combats, or which you may decide to sell in one of the MANY shops you'll find in the Sword Coast.
There are a lot of sub-quests, but one of the major flaws in the game is that it doesn't keep track of them for you, so you'll simply have to write down them by hand or remember everything for yourself. There is a 'journal' that's automatically updated, but I didn't found it very useful. The quests in themselves can be stupid sometimes, but most are rich in at least one aspect - be it humor (as trying to help a not-so-good mage to get back to it's human form), it's own 'story' or a nice, clever combat challenge. The non-obligatory sub-quests are what makes the game shine, in my opinion.
You can also do a lot of hack'n'slash dungeon exploring by yourself (I mean, that don't necessarily involve a sub-quest), and it's non-obligatory in the game. Not only there are a bunch of this kind of dungeons spread out in the game, as also every wilderness area map (and the game has a lot of them) has one or two interesting encounters, at least.
In my opinion, The story and dialogs is pretty stupid. But we warned I'm in love with 'extremal" games in this category: Like in-depth/filosophical games as Planescape: Torment or the ones with astonishing personality, as Fallout 1 & 2.
Graphics are not very impressive, even more now that's slighty out-dated, but sometimes your imagination can make up for it - being an RPG game and all, that's something wich shouldbe taken into account. An bonus in this category is that every single magic has it's own animation, and every single one is fairly interesting.

I did got a little tired of the game at half of it, but maybe that's because I tried to do as many sub-quests as I could, but in my case, that's a good thing - it's difficult for me to find a game that don't get me bored in a couple hours.
And I actually forced myself to go to the end of it, because it's a nice game, and I don't regret it - although when I finished the main boss and got teleported to the new town from the 'Tales of the Sword Coast Expansion Pack' I could stand no more of it, and turned down the PC.

Hope this help somebody, although it's not as well-written as I could/(should?) have made it.

"Better games in the genre exist", I have played several games in this genre. From Fallout & Fallout 2, to Torment & Icewind Dale (which are the most similar to Baldur's Gate), to Star Wars: KOTOR & KOTOR2: The Sith Lords. I would not say that I am a fan of the genre in particular, but it certainly has its share of excellent games that I've enjoyed. Baldur's Gate seems the most acclaimed & popular of the bunch, and I have no idea why. Each of the others, with the possible exception of Icewind Dale is better. Fallout, Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, KOTOR, & KOTOR2 all have better writing, better characters, and a more interesting universe than Baldur's Gate. The characters in Baldur's Gate are almost without exception losers and nutcases that lack any sort of depth. I hated most of them. Combat, inventory management, and exploration are tedious. I have attempted to play Baldur's Gate through to the end more than once, and it inevitably bores me half-way through. Meanwhile, Fallout, Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic were entertaining, even gripping throughout, and I remember each of them fondly.

"Completely Satisfied", I thank you for yor speedy and promt delivery. I am very proud to have done buisness with you. I will be doing buisness with you in the near future.
