## Description

Baldur's Gate: Forced to leave your home under mysterious circumstances, you find yourself drawn into a conflict that has the Sword Coast on the brink of war. Soon you discover there are other forces at work, far more sinister than you could ever imagine… Since its original release in 1998, Baldur's Gate has set the standard for Dungeons & Dragons computer roleplaying games. Customize your hero, recruit a party of brave allies, and explore the Sword Coast in your search for adventure, profit… and the truth. Baldur's Gate II: Kidnapped. Imprisoned. Tortured. The wizard Irenicus holds you captive in his stronghold, attempting to strip you of the powers that are your birthright. Can you resist the evil in your blood and forsake the dark destiny that awaits you? Or will you embrace your monstrous nature and ascend to godhood as the new Lord of Murder? Continue a journey started in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition or create an entirely new character in this isometric Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Siege of Dragonspear: An army marches from the north, seizing supplies, forcing locals into military service, and disrupting trade along the Sword Coast. A charismatic warrior known as the Shining Lady leads this army, her background shrouded in mystery–and she must be stopped. Baldur's Gate has put its faith in you, but you must determine whose interests you truly serve before you face the Shining Lady among the ruins of Dragonspear Castle… The first new game in the Baldur's Gate series in over a decade, Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear adds a new chapter to the Bhaalspawn saga. The events occurring between Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II are at last revealed in this 25-hour adventure.

Review: The Perfect Portable RPG - This is a legendary game and the transition to the Nintendo Switch feels absolutely flawless! Going from the old school original mouse and keyboard controls to a modern controller setup (of the Switch) left me quite curious and even somewhat apprehensive to play this version. However, I am relieved to say that the conversion felt very intuitive! The controls make sense and are clearly displayed on all menus and sub menus so you will be able to find everything you need and recall exactly what buttons bring up which commands. Being an old school gamer of the original boxed copies, I will say that it took me about 10 minutes (give or take) to adapt and then I felt very comfortable playing and quickly got immersed with the game play. I did make use the font size manipulation features and the added Nintendo Switch Lite Zoom features to make everything very easy on the old eyes. No need to squint to see anything on the small screen! It should be noted that these specific Baldurs Gate games are the most recent Enhanced Versions and , IMHO , they truly are the best versions of which to play enjoy these amazing old school RPG's. Again, the visuals all look great. The frame rate of everything in motion is absolutely spot on. Zoomed in or Zoomed out - the graphical integrity of this enhanced version of the original Infinity graphics engine hold up as beautifully as you will ever see them. Also, the colors pop and the graphics are sharp and pixel perfect on the smaller portable display of the Switch and this game has never looked better! Also, I am so glad to have this solid portable Nintendo Switch version and on the cart media since I know that the cart will last the test of time. As some other reviewers have noted, it's true that digital versions and the old boxed cd disc versions of these games could be acquired for a lower price. However, digital carriers of these games will not sell these games forever and original old boxed copies will eventually be obsolete completely to run on any computer, vintage or otherwise. So, IMHO, the simple convenience of having these games all on this nice small modern solid state cart make this product worth it as far as the value. In conclusion, I feel this is the best release of the game to own and if you own a Nintendo Switch then this game will absolutely make a worthy edition to your collection!
Review: Fantastic port of a true classic - I've been playing BG1 & 2 since they came out. By far 2 of my favorite games of of time. It's getting hard for PCs nowadays to be able to play this old classic game, and part of the reason I decided on a Switch was because Nintendo actually ported it when no one else would. Well, it was worth it. The gameplay is actually better.. believe it or not. The the simple change of moving the main character with the joystick and the crew follows made the game waaaaaay faster and smoother to play. You can still point and click with a simple press of a button, but moving around towns and through dungeons is so much quicker and more efficient on the Switch then ever on the PC. They even added a few small subtle details and item fixes that make the gameplay even smoother. Upping item piling dramatically was a huge relief (esp in BG1 when you could essentially only carry 60 arrows at a time, 20 each slot, now its 80 per slot, that's 240.. game changer), now you can go beyond 5 scrolls/potions and 20/40 ammo per slot, which gave me goosebumps when I discovered that (no lie). It can get a little buggy at times, but I haven't had any full on crashes yet and no lost data (PC versions can't say that...). It doesn't effect gameplay enough to consider it an issue though. It's even playable on the small screen without sacrificing too much visually. Although this does play way better on an actual TV. Once you go TV you probably wont wanna go back to the handheld size... obviously. I got this while on hold in a break in training and I played religiously on the handheld because I didnt have access to a tv, and I easily played halfway through BG1 and part way through BG2 with no issues or complaints. If you're new or a veteran to the BG series, this is a beautiful, immersive and well made port of a true classic.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Now that the game is out can anyone verify if it is multiplayer or just single player?**
A: Single player with multiplayer coming later with an update. People forget that the original also had multiplayer.

**Q: Is this game difficult? Or rather, would you recommend for a casual gamer?**
A: For someone new to this particular type of gameplay the main complaints I see is getting down the controls and the fighting. Which is a learning curve. I think it’s less “pick up and play” when compared to other RPGs. Most of these kinds of games are not good about tutorials. Most of them will expect you to know what’s up. I forget if Baldurs Gate does this as well, but if you’re interested I would go over the control options and click every button on the keyboard so you know what you have. You’ll pick it up.

**Q: Can I use the touch pad / touch controls to play the game?**
A: Some prompts allow it, others no. I played last night when I got the game, and the controls/buttons are a bit complicated to get the hang of on the Switch console. I haven't tried it on the TV yet to see it that makes it easier or not.

**Q: Is the text good readable when played on the small console screen?**
A: I am 49 and wear glasses with progressive (tri focal) lenses. I have had no trouble reading any of the text.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Games as Always!
*by B***K on December 1, 2022*

The four stars are not for the game, they are Five all the way, it is more for the switch version. Many time i will be in the middle of the game about to start an attack or check the inventory and the game dies. I have fortunately I save often but there is the occasional time where i lose 30-40 mins of play time do to this. Otherwise it is great to have both games in one cartridge.
