Summary

Game Description

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn is a mythic saga continuing the Baldur's Gate storyline. The Forgotten Realms adventure ensues along the southern portion of the Sword Coast in the merchant kingdom known as Amn. The borders of this region include such diverse environments as the Elven forests of Tethir, the Cloudpeak Mountains, The Drow cities of the Underdark, and the Capitol City of Amn, Athkatla. Written by BioWare with an increased attention to detail, the engrossing plot features dynamic characters that players become attached to over the span of the game. Fifteen new NPC characters are available to join players in their quest, along with hundreds of completely new creatures and access to over 130 new spells. Hundreds of new items include the legendary Holy Avenger and the venerated Staff of the Magi. Higher-level character development and the exceptionally diverse combat proficiency system will allow for an expanded skill set including dual wielding or single weapon mastery. Over 20 new kits and classes have been added to the already extensive class list from Baldur's Gate to make BGII the most all-inclusive Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition CRPG ever created.
