Even after more than a decade, this sprawling saga remains the most authentic treatment of D&D to ever hit a computer. The developer's reworking of one of the all-time greats into Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition combines the original Shadows of Amn, the Throne of Bhaal expansion, and a new gladiatorial combat side game into a bursting-at-the-seams package. The BioWare epic got almost everything right about the original, unforgiving D&D when it was released back in 2000, and Overhaul Games hits the goblin right on the schnoz in 2013. So Baldur's Gate II is the pinnacle of role-playing games for me.
If you can't understand that -10 is better than 10, I don't want to know you. The newfangled rules that supposedly make everything easier with changes like flipping around armor class just make my head hurt.
I got into the game as a child at the end of the 1970s, during the Gygaxian glory days when the big game was still Advanced and still loaded with more inscrutable numbers than a corporate tax return. Where Dungeons & Dragons is concerned, I've always been old-school.
