- Before the eventual release of Baldur's Gate 3, we thought it would be fun to go through the 1998 adventures of Gorion's Ward, Sarevok, Minsc, Volo and the rest of the gang from Baldur's Gate 1 + 2 as we recount the main stories of the base games, as well as the Siege of Dragonspear and Throne of Bhaal expansions.
With the October 6th release of Baldur's Gate 3 we are taking a look at the classic that started it all. The 1998 original Baldur's Gate, following the adventures of Imoen, Minsc and the rest of the companions that follow the player through Faerun, Baldur's Gate and the Sword Coast.
Baldur's Gate 3 will be revisiting much of the same locations and meeting the same enemies as the original game, namely the world of Avernus, The Flaming Fist and the Mind Flayers.
While the story seems very much separate, there's still plenty of lore and world building that new players to the franchise can learn right here, and take with them in their adventures in Baldur's Gate 3.
Best companion in Baldur's Gate?
I used to play Baldur's Gate at a friend's house when I was a kid. My family was dirt poor so I was really grateful that he would let me come over and play Baldur's Gate, Torment and Warcraft on his old computers. I miss him. RIP friend.
aaaaand Baldur's Gate "3" has nothing to do with any of this.
All I can hear is "you must gather you party before venturing forth"
Watching this in 2023 😁
Weird to think that while all this was happening, Astarion was eating rats in a dingy tomb somewhere.
All of this. And still the main plot is like 15% of the entire games.
Netflix will eventually turn this into a series, starring Henry Cavill
"The Lord of Murder shall perish. But in his doom he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny. Chaos will be sown from their passing." So sayeth the wise Alaundo.
AH SURV THE FLAYMING FIYST
Absolutely love the Baldur's Gate series. #2 being my favorite because of all the character development. But #1 has a special kind of feel to it. As the franchise progresses it becomes more chaotic and wild in it's scenarios, which is to be expected of D&D when you get to such high levels, but BG1 was never over the top, no travelling to otherwordly dimensions, having to fight hordes of magical demons. (until Siege of Dragonspear) It's mostly just you and your followers just exploring the wilderness, and trying to solve the mystery of the iron crisis. very down to earth.
Played Baldurs gate 2 so many times, different classes, different choices. It's where my love for the Sorcerer and Barbarian classes began!
There are very good reasons to play this game, no matter how old it gets.
Just looked up some of these voice actors for Balder's Gate 1 and holy crap, like a third of them were in almost every cartoon TV show I watched as a Kid or played as a video game.
I was there Gandalf, 2000 years ago. I played BG2 LAN mode when i was 14 with my friends. At that time LAN cables where coaxial ones and not the current square LAN cables we all know today. We never went past the 1st act playing together as we were too busy creating our characters and doing goofy stuff in the first city. Now we have fiber internet which is literally 2000 times faster than the internet we had at that time. But playing online doesn't have the same taste as doing it ghetto style with your friends like we did before!
"You should have not have come to this place!"
In Baldur's Gate 3, you find out that boo is the Mastermind behind everything since BG1.
When bg3 was first announced in 2019, i picked up bg1 and eventually 2. I have clocked in over 700 hours in them jointly and they quickly became my top 5 games of all times. Larian has big shoes to fill

Just finished throne of Baal last night and god dam playing through both games and their expansions, and seige even though it has its problems, really feels like a grand adventure
