A little disappointed at the ending

Enjoyed the game very much but I felt a little let down when completing the mission, the death of Sarevok, no collecting the party together and relaying the news back to the Dukes et al. Instead it just plays a short death scene and cuts to the home page.

Also can you please sort out the bug in ‘The Black Pits’ when it crashes the moment Llyrk dies.

Could have been 5 stars with these faults ironed out.

Hello! The Llyrk crash is a known issue, it's being worked on.

As for the final scene, that's the way BG1 has been functioning since its release in 1998.

Amazing depth & replay value

They don't make them like they used to. I have played this game so many times on so many platforms and the latest being 9.7 inch ipad. They have done a fantastic job of porting the game to ois and the multiplayer option has proved to be very robust and enjoyable. There are so many ways to play this game and because of that the pence per hour gameplay rate becomes very very low despite the initial cost of the game. You can play with the characters you meet in the game or switch to multiplayer (which can also be played with just a single player) and craft your characters exactly how you want them. When entering buildings things get small thats true but don't forget you can zoom the screen and once you do everything is clear and your able to place your characters with precision again. These series of games are just amazing. The graphics may be old school but guess what its the gameplay depth that will keep you coming back time and time again for many years to come.

Old Classic is the best game on IOS

I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate for decades and as a fan I can say without a doubt this is the definitive version. Surprisingly well suited for phones(I own a desktop version too) the games current condition is superb. So many old bugs fixed and updated features will respecting the old format and either not tweaking too much or making many new features optional. The new characters and The Black Pits are great additions especially The Black Pits for getting a taste of a new IE campaign in forever and also testing different character builds quickly at high levels before dedicating a 100 hour (and more?) campaign to them.

Without a doubt a must have for any IOS games who like their RPG’s. The original game makes the top 100 games of all time lists frequently and this version is only improved. Looking forward to what Beamdog have next.
