What players say
Just an all around fun game that I never finished playing 20 years ago so Im enjoying it again to finish it. Be strategic because just hack n slash doesn't work in this game lol

A classic that still sucks you in 30 years later. Well made, well played, and as easy to love as goblin pie.
This is a classic CRPG in AD&D 2nd edition. RTwP is my favourate system and I'm familiar with AD&D 2nd edition so my journey is quite pleasant. For new players who never played BG1 or BG2 before, there's a bit of learning curve in the game related to concepts like THAC0, saving throw categories and fractional APR. On lower difficulties, you can breeze through without caring about these. On Heart of Fury difficulty...
