baldurs gate enhanced edition multiplayer

Currently, only TCP/IP is supported (online matchmaking is in the works), so players will need to get the host’s IP address to connect. Through navigating the menu, it just takes a few seconds to set up a multiplayer game. Setting up a game is relatively simple: one player will host by choosing from either the Baldur’s Gate campaign or the Black Pits. The game pretty much plays the same in single-player as co-op, so this review will be defaulting to a co-op experience. The rest of my review is mostly geared to new players of Baldur’s Gate, whether it be original or enhanced. While knowing the additions and updates from the original to the enhanced edition is probably enough to help former players decide whether they want to purchase it or not, they don’t tell a brand new player how the game actually plays. It’s certainly worthy of the title “Enhanced Edition.” On top of that, a whopping 400 issues with the original game were addressed during the process of updating it.

Also, aspects from Baldur’s Gate II have been brought over, such as class kits, new subraces and subclasses. A brand new adventure, the Black Pits, has been added as have three brand new companion characters. BG:EE comes complete with the original game as well as its expansion, T ales of the Sword Coast. The interface has also been updated visually (but I believe it still functions much the same as the original). Perhaps the most immediately noticeable is the updated Infinity engine for the game as well as high resolution and widescreen support. Since BG:EE is actually my first foray with the game, to the former group I can only relate what is different about the Enhanced Edition, which is a good place to start in any case.īG:EE offers an impressive amount of updates to the game. The reason you’re probably reading this review is because you’re either wondering if Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition (henceforth BG:EE) is either 1) worth replaying if you’ve played the original, or 2) it's worth playing for the first time if you didn’t play the original.
