Most of the changes have long been available via mods.įortunately, the core game (along with the 1999 expansion pack Tales of the Sword Coast, also rolled into the mix here) remains strong after more than a decade, and is a deep, incredibly engrossing role-playing game. And to make matters worse, the game arrived loaded with bugs and remains shaky even after a few patches. But it doesn't add anything of real value to the experience aside from interface and graphical tweaks long available to the original game through free mods, along with largely forgettable new content in a trio of potential party members and an arena combat mode. Yes, this revamped and pumped-up take on the 1998 Dungeons & Dragons classic from BioWare is just as compelling and hard to put down as the 14-year-old forebear that became a gold standard for role-playing games. With that in mind, it is hard to view Overhaul Games' Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition as anything but a disappointment. You go into it looking for something extra, an improvement over the original plain-Jane version that you can see and feel. it didnt give me an option i dont think.Calling a game "enhanced" justifiably raises expectations.


It didn't ask me to extract to any specific folder. Aka into here:Ĭ:\Users\\Games\Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition\ -for example. exe and ask for more info, I can't give that, cause I only use Windows.Īlso for Windows installs, you might want to install the game to a directory you own, which in Windows 10 terms mean the C drives user profile files, as the operation system screws you over and doesn't consider any of the other folders as yours, on the C drive, and then mirrors files and so forth to "protect" it's own ass, not yours. If you are not using Windows, don't download the. exe file anywhere, as long as you can find it, and then you run it, this will extract the content(it's a self extracting archive made with a preset functions), which you will then need to point your game folder to(it gives a folder to fill in), and after the extraction, it will also run the setup-*modname*.exe, which is used to install the mod into the game. Which operation system do you use ? Windows, you just download the.
