About Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate is the legendary role-playing series set in the Forgotten Realms of Dungeons & Dragons, starting with the original 1998 classic and continuing through the acclaimed Baldur's Gate 3. The original games adapt the AD&D rules into a party-based isometric adventure: you build a party of adventurers, explore a detailed fantasy world, and make choices that shape your character's story, from your upbringing in the fortress-library of Candlekeep to the legacy of the dead god Bhaal, the Lord of Murder. Dialogue, skills, and combat are all rooted in tabletop rules, with real-time-with-pause battles in the early games and turn-based combat in Baldur's Gate 3. The series is famous for its freedom — almost any problem can be solved by fighting, talking, sneaking, or casting the right spell — and for characters so well written that players still debate their stories decades later. It remains a defining benchmark for Western RPGs.
