In addition, the game features a new branching storyline that offers players a choice where to go next for fortune and honor.
Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II also features a number of hidden areas, secret characters, and literally hundreds of items to find and use, including potions, scrolls, and wands. Equipment can be found or purchased from local merchants using the gold looted from felled creatures or received as payment for quests. To help in battle, a new item creation system lets players craft magical weapons and armor using raw materials found during their travels.Īs before, two heroes can join the adventure in cooperative play on the same screen, with each character differing in the types of feats and powers under his or her command. Each selected character can parlay the experience gained from combat into acquiring new feats and enhanced abilities over time. Even more monster types will engage in real-time battles using the same overhead perspective as witnessed in the original game. Using the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules set, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II features four new acts of hack-and-slash combat and powerful spell casting. Five new character types vow to stop whoever or whatever is behind this new alliance, no matter what the cost. Yet the harbor town of Baldur’s Gate is still very much part of a heinous plot to control the Forgotten Realms. The mysterious disappearance of the Onyx Tower and death of Eldrith the Betrayer had left the noble heroes trapped in an unknown setting. This sequel to the hit 2002 action role-playing game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe picks up right where the original left off. And while the map is helpful, the way it fades in and out based on player position occasionally makes it difficult to determine where players have already been and what areas have yet to be explored.8 Conclusion Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II Summary The game's map system makes it difficult to get lost, but there are some objectives that would have greatly benefited from a modern-day marker system so players aren't wasting their time mindlessly walking around for hours. While out adventuring, players will find that the "dungeons" in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance can be rather lengthy with numerous twists, turns, and multiple levels. Players can stick to the main story and ignore everything else, but those that take the time to tackle the extra tasks or stray off the beaten path will be rewarded with extra loot that makes it much easier to afford some of the more high-value weapons and armor. Each of the three main areas in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance includes a hub with a shop for players to sell their loot as well as NPCs that may have side quests to complete.
