View all the movies and keep training items
Baldur's Gate is a computer role-playing game in a high fantasy setting, developed by BioWare and released in 1998 by Interplay Entertainment. It was the first game in the Baldur's Gate series, which spawned a further three software titles before the story arc was concluded. It was immediately followed by the expansion pack Tales of the Sword Coast (1999), as well as the sequel Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (2000) and its expansion pack Throne of Bhaal (2001). A three CD version, Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga, which includes the original game and expansion, was released in 2002. Sega planned to port the game to its Dreamcast console, but the project was canceled. Recently, Atari has been releasing a four-in-one package including Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, and Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal on DVD(s). The story follows the player character as he grows up following the cataclysmic Time of Troubles and it puts an emphasis on character development through dialog and battle. The game rewards the player character according to his or her moral choices.Easter EggsView All Movies1. Open the file called Baldur.ini in your Baldur's Gate folder.
