To install Baldur’s Gate, first insert the CD-ROM labeled Baldur’s Gate Disc 1 into your CD-ROM drive and follow the onscreen instructions. Really this introduction is to thank you for playing our game.You playing – and having fun – is what this is all about. We wanted both experiences, paper and electronic, to be equally fun. Even in these changes though, Baldur’s Gate is true to the spirit of AD&D gaming. That means there are some changes that couldn’t be avoided. Computers can’t make judgement calls (and would you want one to?). Still, face-to-face games don’t have a computer for a Dungeon Master. Baldur's Gate brings the AD&D game alive on the computer like no other game before it – and that’s no small task! It is a testament to the depth and richness of the AD&D system that even today's computers are challenged to capture the entire range of flexibility allowed within the AD&D game, and it is a testament to Baldur’s Gate that it contains so much of that richness. Now, almost ten years later, I’m sitting on the other side, making computer games – and I’m amazed at what Baldur’s Gate has done. Sure, it was something we had all thought about, but there was too much to do to spend time worrying about it – not that we knew how we would accomplish it anyway. There was consideration to the needs of a computer game. Back then, we were creating strictly for the paper-and-pencil, sit-around-the-table, face-to-face game. So who am I? Well, somebody had to write the 2nd Edition rules back in ’89 and I and some other lucky souls were entrusted with that job. This isn’t just any role-playing game, this is the granddaddy of them all. Baldur’s Gate uses the AD&D 2nd Edition rules, the oldest and most popular role-playing game rules in the paper-and-pen world. Right now there’s probably two questions running through your mind – what’s this AD&D 2nd Edition thing and who’s the guy writing this anyway?īaldur’s Gate is a huge and varied computer role-playing game – but the game didn’t happen out of thin air.
