Best PC RPG of all time May 11, 2010
Matt West (Santa Rosa, CA)
I just happened to see this 4 in 1 product offering for under $20, and I just have to say that if you love D&D or computer RPG games (or both!) then this is an absolute must have. The Baldur's Gate series, even at its original price, is hands down the best value for the dollar of any PC RPG - or video game of any kind - that I have ever experienced.
This game is HUGE. You can play through the whole triology as the same character and if you do you're looking at around 200 hours of total game play (10 cents an hour!) The NPCs you will encounter are a joy to spend time with. Some make you want to slap them, some will make you laugh, some will fall in love with your character, but all will stick in your memory long after you've stopped playing the game. To add to this, you will also get to cross swords with Jon Irenicus, one of the most sinister and multi-layered characters ever to cast a malign shadow over a video game world.
Are the graphics dated? Absolutely. Upside, you can happily play this game on a machine that is 5 - 7 years old without any problems. Has there ever been a better PC RPG written? No. Not in my mind. I would play this game over Dragon Age, Mass Effect or any of the newer offerings out there. Certainly over any MMO game.
If you've never journeyed into Baldur's Gate do yourself a favor. Put this boxed set on rush order, fire up your PC and clear your weekend schedule. You won't regret it. Especially not for under $20!

I have had this game for years and played it many times.
It has a great storyline and is very easy to learn to play.
There are a lot of side quests that are added to the main story, that
add freedom to the playability of the game.
Great Game, if you like older Rpgs that are very good. Cya :)

While it will work just fine on my copy of XP Pro (SP3), it requires some work-arounds to get it there. Playing BGI without the TotSC expansion is buggy, but even after installing the expansion, you'll probably still need to go into your DirectX Diagnostic tool and switch off the DirectX features on the Display tab, as well as adjust a few in-game graphic settings. Otherwise you may get trails from your mouse along the edges of the screen, and flickering borders around your selected character's portrait.
Also, the volume on the sound seems artificially high whenever I load a game. Saving or quicksaving puts it back down to normal, so this is an easy fix.
I have yet to get to the second game (I've played it through many times before, but not with this box set), so I cannot yet comment on that.
Once you've found a solution that works however, you'll greatly enjoy this game. This is one of the best RPGs in history, and is still fun for me to play over a decade after its initial release and despite multiple play-throughs.
For the sake of full disclosure, I am using a GeForce 8500GT video card (driver v. 6.14...), with a Soundmax Digital Audio card (driver v. 5.12...). My DirectX version is 9.0c.
