Baldur's Gate Game Series

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.

Decades Go By, And No One Has Done It Better Than Baldur's Gate 2

Modern RPGs are often grand and beautiful productions, yet in some ways, Baldur's Gate 2 remains the unquestioned king of the genre. The odds are against Baldur's Gate 3, but I wouldn't bet my entire paycheck on it.
