About this game

Baldur’s Gate: The Original Saga overview

Includes the original Baldur’s Gate and its expansion Tales of the Sword Coast.

Chaos threatens to overwhelm the Sword Coast. The state of Amn is under siege to the south, the High Moor is being overrun in the north and the region around Baldur’s Gate is in turmoil. In an area known for its ample resources, a crippling shortage is slowly developing for the metal that is used throughout the Realms for everything from swords to forks - iron.

What’s worse, trading caravans coming from all directions into Baldur’s Gate are under constant attack from bandits and cutthroats who loot not for gold and gems but for iron. The armed factions in Baldur’s Gate can scarcely keep themselves armed and the commoners are suffering all the more. Without iron they cannot mend their tools or purchase plows - and everyone knows that if they cannot farm or craft, they will starve come winter… Enthralling story, vast and rich open world, and classic Dungeons and Dragons rules and Forgotten Realms setting make this title a must-have in every self-respecting cRPG fan collection!

This is the classic version of Baldur’s Gate with the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion. Looking for the most complete Baldur’s Gate experience?

    I’m having a problem playing it on Win 10. The game lags with a lot of enemies and once I grab an item from inventory it delays its action. What should I do? Please help me!

      You can try compatibility mode if you encounter any problem with an old game. and make sure you have installed all the needed software from Microsoft like DirectX, .Net Framework and visual c++. 😀
