Baldur's Gate is a series of isometric RPGs set in the Forgotten Realms universe (created by Canadian high fantasy writer Ed Greenwood), based on modified mechanics of the second edition of Dungeons and Dragons (a role-playing game licensed by Wizards of the Coasts). The first two games and their expansions were developed by BioWare and published by Black Isle Studios. The third installment, announced nineteen years after the release of the second game, was entrusted to Larian Studios, known for its warmly received RPGs from the Divinity series.

Expansion

March 31, 2016

RPG

An official expansion for the Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition from 2012. It was developed by Overhaul Games and serves as a story bridge between the first and the second installment in the Baldur’s Gate series. In the game, we face a sinister crusade led by a warrior known as the Shining Lady who is also a bhaalspawn. Siege of Dragonspear introduces four completely new companions that can join our party. The title also offers a new character class, new locations, quests, items, spells, and so on. On the technical side, the expansion does not deviate from the original game released three years earlier. We can start the adventure using a character imported from Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, and then export it to Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition upon having finished the expansion.
