Customer Reviews of Baldur's Gate Original Saga with Tales of the Sword Coast Expansion Pack
worth it I had played a demo of the game, it was great so I thought that I would get the actual game. It was better then I thought. On my first try I got massacred when I tried to leave the first region by mid-leveled bandits. Still love the game, but that had me suprised at how different it is. I like playing these games, that's why I thought on getting it, it was fun to play.
A Classic RPG Game.
Let me repeat that this game is a classic. A word of caution here: not everyone likes classic, whether is a book (eg. Lord Jim), a movie (The 7 Samurai), a thing (The Chrysler Buiding), or in this case, an RPG game. I'm sure one can name endless example of a classic. To me, a classic is something that has stood against the test of time; it may be outdated and rusty, but something about it is still refreshing and appealing -- and that's where Baldur's Gate shines, hence the hefty price tag for an old game (the price at Amazon actually went UP since I bought it almost 2 years ago).

>Yes, the graphic is outdated. Yes, the ending is a downer; yes, there's too much of just walking around in the wilderness (think of it as exploration instead); yes, the game is hard (but only in the beginning - I know - patience is no longer a virtue - this game will certainly give you some practice, but not to the point where you'll go bonker. However, it may be tedious for beginner - the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 for fun factor); and yes, the sequel, Baldur's Gate 2, is better. But Baldur's Gate was the foundation of D&D RPG. To this day, the story still seems refreshing and the characters are still memorable, not to mention the game has more depth than a whole year's worth of Holywood screen writings nowaday.

>I won't go over too much detail because you probably already know it from the other reviews. I'll only add that if you are planning to get this game or are already playing it, you'll want to download to TUTU conversion (do a google search for more info), which make use of Baldur's Gate 2's graphic to play Baldur's Gate 1. It is a significant improvement (but certainly not enough for MTV eye candy junkies).

>Get this game if you are old school (remember Dagger Fall, Fallout 1 & 2, Arcanum, Planescape Torment, etc ?) Actually, if you are old school then you'd already have it no matter how much it cost. If you prefer eye candies instead, you may want to reconsider or look elsewhere because $39 is a hefty price.
