Baldur’s Gate

The Baldur’s Gate series is a landmark in computer role-playing, first released in 1998 and based on the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms setting. Developed originally by BioWare and later continued by Larian Studios, the games are known for their isometric perspective, tactical real-time-with-pause combat, and deep narrative choices. Players explore a richly detailed fantasy world, forming a party of diverse companions while uncovering political plots, ancient secrets, and divine heritage. The series has had a lasting influence on RPG design, with Baldur’s Gate III revitalising the franchise for a new generation while respecting the complexity of its source material.
