In 2012, Atari revealed that Beamdog and Overhaul Games would remake the games in HD. The Bhaalspawn Saga was originally developed by BioWare for personal computers. The Bhaalspawn Saga was critically acclaimed for using pausable realtime gameplay, which is credited with revitalizing the computer role-playing game (CRPG) genre. The Dark Alliance series was released for consoles and was critically and commercially successful. The game has spawned two series, known as the Bhaalspawn Saga and the Dark Alliance, both taking place mostly within the Western Heartlands, but the Bhaalspawn Saga extends to Amn and Tethyr. Which rounds out the trio of disappointments I faced with this game.Baldur's Gate is a series of role-playing video games set in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting. Mess up itemization AND class-building, and all you really have left is the combat. Mess that up, and you kill a lot of the potential of the genre. And it’s a Diablo clone, so the itemization is at the core of the game. Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance decided to do exactly none of that. But these other games got around it with expanded class building, deep choice driven stories, or simply swapping D&D itemization out for something more Diablo. To be fair, this has always been an issue with D&D games. Itemization is in the same league as characters. So if you’re looking for class replayability, look somewhere else. Each one is built around the character, instead of your character being built around your chosen build. Each one comes with a small feat list, and you get one point per each level-up.
Then there’s the Elven sorceress, which isn’t as weird, but still meh. Dwarven fighter I get, but Human archer (also archer not ranger) was a weird decision. Some underwhelming premade choices, by the way. Instead of the character creator you probably expected from a D&D game, you only have access to a premade list. To be frank, I found everything else about the game subpar to just plain bad. Not enough to affect gameplay of course, but enough to mention. Not gonna lie, the fact that it’s not Dwarven Warrior bothers me.
