Baldur's Gate II: EE Wiki

If you’ve stumbled upon this game at random, without having played the PC version when it came out long ago, you’re in for a treat. This is not just some random indie game developed for iOS. In fact, you’ve stumbled upon what is widely regarded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest,computer RPGs of all time. It came out originally in the early 2000s, but is still ranked as one of the best of all time on Metacritic. Even with its dated graphics it holds up to the likes of Skyrim, etc., with ease. The game is complex, rich, and colorful. And for a first-time player it will be quite challenging, which is a good thing. If you can get past the somewhat dated graphics, you will be addicted. And frankly, even though the graphics are somewhat dated, they still provide a strong overall aesthetic that in my opinion provides players with a much greater impression of them places the graphics represent than MANY games with far more advanced and modern graphical engines. Many new games just don’t give you the vibe. So don’t let that stop you from diving in. Enjoy.

This is easily the best game I’ve played on iOS. This series is new to me, as I never played on PC. To new players: 1) This is a fairly complex and time-consuming game. 2) I recommend playing BG1 first, as it was too overwhelming for me starting with BG2. BG1 is simpler and has a nice tutorial for new players, which BG2 doesn’t have. (On the downside, BG1 maps tend to have a lot of “empty” space in their outdoor maps, so using online maps with BG1 are nice in order to see where the interesting points are.) The most frustrating part of this game is the spell system, as there are so many spells to potentially learn and understand. BUT, you really can delve as much or as little into it as you want, as using a fighter heavy groups is totally viable (the Inquisitor and Berserker classes can help in certain ways here), and you can always adjust the difficult setting as easy or as hard as you want at any time. So, if you want a top-quality Role Playing Game and don’t mind some complexity and putting in a little time, I expect you’ll have a great experience playing Baulder’s Gate.

If you are reading this having never heard of this game, know that it is considered by many to be the best RPG of all time. Like, in the realm that Dark Side of the Moon and Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is to rock albums. It is deep, challenging and complex, and it invented the concept of "your actions determine the ending" and "non-player characters have feelings too" seen on so many games today. It was this game that made Bioware into a serious game developer. (Dragon Age was made to be the "spiritual successor" of this game.) It originally came out in the late nineties, which may make you think it's too old to be good. It does have some old schoolness, and there has been a lot of innovations since. But the Mona Lisa is from the renaissance. Is it too old to be good? If you want a game that has meat and will give you years of fun, don't pass on the Mona Lisa. Buy this game along with its predecessor Baldur's Gate I.

I played the original BG series to TOB series on PC many years back and to this day this still is my favorite RPG. I was excited to see the mobile port as well as the SOD and wanted to try taking a character through all 3 games. Still the best RPG experience imo. Great port. I played the entire series on an iPhone 8plus. Screen size is fine and very playable once you increase the font size. The only 3 suggestions I have to make this even better 1. Make some connection to the characters relationship between SOD and BG2. For example, make a quest in BG2 to recover the soul taker dagger to prove your innocence or have people like Viconia or Neera acknowledge the SOD events. 2. I’d like to see Corwin added to BG2. 3. There are some events like Dorn’s TOB quest where half the party loads off screen and can’t be accessed. Minor bug, pocket plane back and forth fixes it.

"This app may slow down your device. Please contact the developer to update the app." Update #3: They finally updated the App (and I updated my rating back to where it belongs for this gem, 5 stars)! Thank you, Overhaul Games, for making this game better than what I remembered from the good old days of the PC! Stellar Job! (BTW, where is the BG: EE update???????) Update #2: Still nothing, yet I added one more star to my rating because, according to the website (as of the 5th of July 2017), an update is "on the way" for BG:EE and BGII: EE (they added in ID:EE as an afterthought, so hopefully there as well), but no ETA. I'll update my rating IF this app gets updated. This game, with the first and Icewind Dale, are a HUGE disappointment. I paid $10 for all of them so that I can play on my huge screen (Plus sized), only to see this on the description. I've left reviews on all three games with 1 star, and it will remain until the devs update their apps! Oh, they released a new game, also $10, but I'm not spending a dime on it because it won't even be worth it. They will never update it anyway. Totally disrespectful to people who pay money to play a game that isn't even updated to work on any device made on or after 2015. DO NOT BUY THEIR NEWEST APP! They will never update it anyway.

Just bought this game after being on an RPG crave with a need for a deep combat system, story, and characters. This game is all that and more, seriously I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of the game and I’ve already spent hours on mere side quests. My only qualms is that trying to get to the description of items while in the character menu is a tad frustrating and that sometimes trying to get downstairs, open doors, walk into rooms through said doors, tapping on ?’s sometimes just makes your party go there and not activate the function. If pressure touch was put into the game to allow easier access to description/use menus for items that would be perfect. Other than those things I am enjoying this game thoroughly.

I played this game like crazy growing up on pc and I still own the old pc version with spiral bound manual. You play as one of the Children of Bhaal the lord of murder. In part one you saved the sword coast from the brink of being subverted into civil war by your brother Sarevok. Now you must escape the dungeon of Irenicus and fight your way through the city of amn gaining companions and powers. You will unlock your potential, become the avatar of murder, the ravager. You must save your half sister Imoen and take your revenge on Irenicus and follow him into the nine hells. Will your take your place on the throne of murder? Or will you reject your destiny? Or better yet, for the good of man, will your create your own destiny? Playing with an iPhone 8 and the screen is good enough for me.

Easily the best rpg of all time, especially when played as one giant epic starting with original game, then importing character to BG2 and then through throne of Bhaal. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve played these games, they’re true masterpieces, a perfect mix of story, action and strategy.

This is one of my go back too’s. Ya have huge amount of options in characters, and an abundance of customization in the characters abilities. No level cap do can up the difficulty and still enjoy. Warning mind flayers are tough, haste group send skellys 5 seconds before group CHARGES!!!!

I am able to play this on iOS 11 on an iPad Pro and the extra screen space is very nice!! There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing major. That said I have had a few NPCs spawn all over the place and in small to large numbers. The head Priest of Helm was everywhere and I killed a couple because I was sick of looking at 15 of the one and only High Priest of Helm and now all of Helm is against me if I walk in their temple!!!!! No quest for the ore you need to augment the mace of disruption because of that. I’ve also had the Master of Combat from Rasaad’s quest, and Pheasants appear everywhere and anywhere. No major flaws with the update so far. I’m about to end Shadow of Amn, but finishing up Watcher’s Keep first.

This is a classic RPG, one of the best of the old school (though, like all Black Isle RPGs, can be unfairly hard or unbalanced at times). Still, great interface, good story and a classic. Updating my review to remove the complaints about the multiplayer experience - it’s MUCH more stable now, disconnects are very rare and usually involve one of the players task switching or using the control panel for more than a moment. Still leaving off 1 star for some minor UI annoyances and some leftover frustrating elements of the original game design (enemies that require extremely specific counters, for example), not something Beamdog would be expected to “fix”. Overall, a fantastic updated version of a classic game, highly recommended!

HP lost if importing a dual class character (import fighter/mage and hp is recalculated using only mage levels). It’s been complained about since forever.. please fix or provide a quick and dirty editor so we can correct the issue.. Otherwise love the game, have since its original PC release.

The original game is excellent, but I’ve just hit my second quest-breaking bug. The first was in De’Arnise Keep, where a key failed to spawn, rendering the quest impossible to finish. Now I’m in Spellkeep and the hand of dace is not triggering entrance through a big stone face. Looking up these bugs online, turns out the only way to fix them is to buy a computer version of the game, transferring my save onto a computer, fixing the issue via the console, then transferring back to my phone. I feel cheated. I purchased this item thinking I had a complete product, but it turns out I now need to buy the pc version of the game to complete my game experience. The hand of dace bug has me trapped in a central quest dungeon with no way of progressing. These bugs would be completely tolerable if the devs added a console to the game. The original games were equally buggy, bless them, but at least there was usually a way of fixing things and progressing forward.

Love this game from way back. Played BG1EE to be able to port over a character, which worked fine. BG1EE is great. But the difficulty slider on BG2EE doesn't work, and you are perpetually stuck at "normal", which isn't all that normal (max hp per level, enemies do 75% of normal damage). Don't want to bother playing an easy version of the game. Fix and I'll increase my rating! So they patched the game, but STILL the difficulty slider does not work. It appears to work, but no matter what setting it says, leveling up always grants max hit points. SERIOUSLY!?! You guys can't fix this? Why?!?
