 Let's go back to when there were better games. April 20, 2008

So you want to try out some of bio ware's older games? Here is a secret. These games are better than the recent Neverwinter series. "What?" you say, "How could you." Well it's true. Sure it has AD&D version 2 which is an older ruleset than the Neverwinter series has, but you won't care. I'll assume you don't need great graphics to enjoy a game. Why would you even consider buying a game from the late 90's if you cared about graphics right? So I'll say the graphics were great for it's time and now I will leave the graphics alone. So how is this game so good? The answer is open ended gameplay, great combat system, and a great quest system. Exploration is another great thing about this game. To fully explore every part of the world will take you a long time, and you will find many fun little battles along the way. You can stray off from the main quest to explore the wilderness if you want, and pretty much it is part of what makes this game so great. The game has simpler combat and character customization than NWN, but it is not a negative factor. Simplicity is not always a bad thing. In truth the combat isn't really simple, it is just simpler than NWN. So should you buy? Yeah. Baldur's Gate is a wonderful adventure and baldur's gate 2 is even better. It's time to go back in time.
 Balur's Gate set: a good buy March 15, 2008

The Baldur's Gate boxed set is a lot of role-playing for the money. I am not all the way through it yet, but estimate the full play-through time at 100 hours+. As a long-time D&D buff, I find the logic-puzzles and combat encounters entertaining and challenging. I recommend the set.

One of the all time great CRPG's. Having 4 dvd's instead of 11 (i think) total CD's is awesome.
Just as a warning to a collector type, it does not come with a hard copy of any of the instruction books. There are PDF versions on the various DVD's.
