Read Full Detailed Report - Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate is an RPG from BioWare and Interplay, set in the Forgotten Realms universe, using Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition rules. You play as a mage's apprentice in the city of Candlekeep during an iron shortage. Steel production is halted, tools such as farming equipment and weapons are scarce. Bandits roam the coast, seeking valuable iron, often over gold and jewels. After learning that there is a price on your head, but not why or by who, and witnessing the death of your foster father in an attempt on your life, you must flee Candlekeep, investigate the iron shortage, uncover a greater plot that involves your past, and future.
Baldur's Gate, along with Diablo and Fallout, pretty much brought the entire RPG genre back from the dead.
