“Baldur's Gate doesn't hold your hand, it slaps it, then it punches you in the face.” – Trent Oster
Way back in 1996, Black Isle Studios tossed out a team-based role-playing game modeled off the Forgotten Realms’ license owned by Wizards of the Coast. Baldur’s Gate was an incredible undertaking, but it was also a fascinating adventure that consumed hours upon hours of time while immersing players in the realm of the Sword Coast.
Of course there were games that tried to emulate that success, but the games of that era that stood out the most were the two Baldur’s Gate titles, Icewind Dale and NeverWinter Nights. Just when you thought those days might be gone forever, along comes Beamdog.
