Baldur's Gate (Franchise)	comment	Baldur's Gate is a Western RPG series set in the High Fantasy setting Forgotten Realms, using an adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset (2nd Edition for the first two games and their respective expansion packs, 5th Edition for the third game). The focus is on quests, characterization and dialogue, combined with a solid combat system and a continuous plotline. The original games were developed by BioWare and published by Black Isle Studios. More recently, other developers have taken up work on the series — updated editions and a new expansion were produced by Beamdog, which was founded by BioWare alumni. In 2019, Larian Studios announced the third game in the main series. It entered early access on October 6, 2020, then the full release launched on August 3, 2023.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_11cdfcf7	comment	Chunky Salsa Rule: Delivering a hard enough fatal blow (that is hitting an opponent so hard that their HP goes past 0 and far into the negatives) causes enemies to explode into a bloody chunks. The same thing can happen to your allies on higher difficulty levels, preventing them from being resurrected. Specifically, the "chunk limit" is -10HP. Drop below that and you're chunks rather than just dead. Also, "chunked" characters can only be brought back via Wish, if you're lucky.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_1246c26c	type	Villainous Lineage
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_1246c26c	comment	Villainous Lineage: Played with at length (it's one of the major themes of the series), but ultimately subverted. Evil Bhaalspawn are happy to believe it about themselves, but as Imoen and potentially Charname prove, in this universe people ultimately choose their own moral nature. Sarevok is an even stronger subversion — at first he himself believes it, as does his lover Tamoko, but his backstory and potential Heelâ€“Face Turn (in Throne of Bhaal) prove him wrong; if he and Charname are at different ends of the ethical spectrum, it's not because of their shared parentage, but because of their different experiences growing up. Portalbendarwinden will tell the PC that their "coin is on edge", which in this universe means that the goddesses of luck and misfortune have no hold on you and you are free to forge your own path, regardless of what your divine lineage may try to dictate. Whether Elminster or Gorion knew this is never revealed, though.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_154aa477	comment	Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Bhaalspawn Family. Your character is a Bhaalspawn. Good, Neutral or Evil, you will leave the Sword Coast awash in blood before they are through. Five of your most powerful siblings are out to get you, all due to vaguely defined dreams of godhood which involve killing you because There Can Be Only One; a sixth one also wants you dead because he wants to expunge Bhaal's bloodline for the greater good, and a seventh is so paranoid that he attacks you on sight. Your other siblings are either hapless civilians or secretive murderers. All of you have only one common trait: your biological father is Bhaal, an evil god who hates you all and wants you all to die for his benefit, preferably in as bloody a manner as possible. At least one of your mothers was one of his priestesses, and was perfectly willing and ready to kill her own child in order to bring her master Back from the Dead. The only member of your family who isn't thoroughly screwed up is Imoen, and even she can't help but get a little dark.

He never stands still, is immune to most forms of attack and walks offscreen before you can harm him enough. It is technically possible to do it, however. The method to do so is absurdly convoluted, requires a specific character class, and can net you a hefty 26,000 experience points about an hour into the first game (Half of that hour is spent flailing at Elminster).

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_1e7c47ab	type	Stealth Pun
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_1e7c47ab	comment	A minor example of less options for females is in the portrait selection. There are two sets of portraits per gender: ones that match NPCs used in the games, and generic ones that aren't used by any NPCs and are the choice of people who don't want to wonder why there's someone else in the world who looks exactly like them. There are six generic portraits for male characters, which is barely a satisfying selection as it is. Female characters only get two, which means players who aren't creating either a warrior human or mystic elf and want their portrait to match the character type will have to either select an NPC portrait or import a fanmade one. Eventually a set of ten bonus portraits - 5-a-side - were created for the Enhanced Edition. If you pick a portrait that belongs to one of the recruitable NPCs, their portrait will switch to one of the two generic ones. So you won't actually look like one of your NPC buddies unless you then go to your character profile and change your portrait to the one your fellow NPC is using.

You can commit any atrocity you like as long as you donate money to the church occasionally, which is cheap enough to keep the guards off you; so it's not a very accurate karma meter. Another backwards element is the way your party members react to it. Good characters don't like a low Reputation, which is obvious, but in the first game, Neutral characters like Jaheira, Xan and Branwen will alternate between praising and complaining about both low and high Reputation, which can be incredibly annoying. Also, Evil characters complain if your Reputation gets too high, and will eventually leave, which makes little in the way of sense when you think about it. Perhaps this was acknowledged; in the EE you get Chaotic Neutral Neera who is generally chirpy as long as you don't get too evil, and Neutral Evil Dorn, who is consistently sullen and bitter even when you're slaughtering your way through small orphanages.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_2804d516	comment	The Assassin has a second issue in that the kit's main feature isn't gained until level 21, and even then its slow thieving skill progression means that the Assassin might not have gotten enough skill points to thoroughly fill the niche of the rogue until levels after that. This means Assassins can't be dual-classed at a reasonable level without impairing the aspects that make a thief worthwhile in the first place, and a thief who isn't dual-classed or multi-classed is at a disadvantage in combat because they can only become 'proficient' with any given weapon, whereas certain other classes can gain up to Grand Mastery. The Assassin isn't completely irredeemable though, as it starts with poison abilities, which are extremely useful.

Besides lower shop prices and the occasional dialogue that uses reputation as a script condition, the games are very inconsistent on whether townspeople actually recognize a high-reputation hero, or if they do, whether they care. Most of what it's good for is keeping Flaming Fist Mercenaries from jumping you all the time. Further confusing the matter, the game's reputation system is also its Karma Meter. So the game can't track fame and notoriety separately.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_39b8d3d6	type	Boring, but Practical
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical The first-level Mage spell Magic Missile and the 1st level Cleric spell Command are spells that are reliable and effective at higher levels. Command knocks an opponent out for a round which, when in melee range, will lead to high amounts of damage. Magic Missile has perhaps the fastest casting time in the game and is useful for interrupting enemy spellcasting, not to mention the spell gets stronger as you level up (although it caps at character level 9) and only enemies with high magic resistance can avoid getting damaged by it and have their spellcasting interrupted. The Mulahey fight in the first game becomes laughably simple when he cannot bring in reinforcements or cast any of his spells, either by being constantly hit by Command or Magic Missile. Magic Missile is also the only spell that will always get around Sarevoks magic resistance. Also, in the first game, the 1st level Mage Spell Chromatic Orb will, at the maximum level achievable in the game, slightly damage and fairly reliably paralyze (for a good thirty seconds or more) most enemies without specific protections or magic resistance, which includes some boss-type enemies. The second game breaks Chromatic Orb right in half, giving it the extra ability to cause petrification or instant death at level 10 and 12, right around where each character starts out. Don't count on it working, unless you're just a VERY lucky person. Chromatic Orb has the largest save bonus of any spell in the game (Bonus = BAD, for you) at a whopping +6, making it extremely unlikely to work on even low level enemies without every save penalty debuff in the game stacked on top of it, higher level enemies are completely immune, without penalties, and even fully debuffed are more likely then not to make their save, rendering the spell worthless compared to Magic missile, Blind, or Spook, which all either give more consistent damage or are much more likely to actually work. (Spook has the largest save penalty in the game at -6 (Penalty = Good, for you), and doesn't even need debuffs to work on high level enemies, and Blind at least doesn't have a bonus, and a blind mage/archer is as good as Dead). Another Level 1 spell would be Sleep, but only in the first game. It can knock out several weaker enemies for many rounds. It's especially useful in the first game that is swarming with enemies that proves to be a credible threat in large numbers. It even has a good chance in knocking out the bounty hunters that you meet in the wilderness, making the fights much easier. Cleric spells in general. They are infinitely less flashy than their arcane and even druidic counterparts, but, especially in the second game, where their Status buffs become essential for your survival, it is almost impossible to work without them. And, of course, weapon damage, especially against Mages. There are dozens of methods of eliminating monsters, but none of them generally works better than the Hack and Slash style. In the second game, mages will use spells that prevent fighters from hurting them with weapons, so this method may not work until those protections are removed. Bows in the hands of a skilled archer: They're very fast and you have multiple attacks per round, thus enabling you to quickly take care of any enemy casters (usually preventing them from casting their protective spells they would get through otherwise), and dealing a lot of damage to melee combattants trying to close the gap. The cloud kill spell, due to a Good Bad Bug. You can stay out of the sight of an enemy and simply cast cloud kill, wait until it has expired, and then cast another one, until that enemy finally dies. Even works on Firkraag.

Being that their father Bhaal is a god who never wanted them and their birthmothers were likely all cultists of Bhaal who were willing to kill their children, Charname, Imoen and Sarevok were all adopted in some capacity. Imoen came to love Gorion and Charname, but whether Charname felt the same or saw Gorion as a killjoy and Imoen as a burden is down to player dialogue choices. Sarevok, for his part, genuinely loved his adoptive mother, but after his adoptive father killed her in front of him with a garrote over infidelity, Sarevok grew to despise him.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_4c709317	comment	Useless Useful Spell: A good chunk of those kill-everything-instantly spells at higher levels usually aren't going to kill anything of much worth, wasting the spell slot for by the time you get them. However, thrown into the right combination, even the relatively weak instant death spells can be useful. Doom + Greater Malison + Chromatic Orb = dead dragon. Given the annoyance of summoned creatures it's still worth having at least a back-up mage having spells like Death Spell as well. Most players consider using the Infravision spell a waste of a spell slot. Considering that every species other than humans and half-orcs have it as a passive trait and there's a group infravision setting, players just need one non-human character in order to use it whenever they feel like it. There's also a Helm of Infravision and a Ring of Infravision, both available fairly early on in the first game. It probably doesn't help that things aren't really hard to see in the games' nighttime settings and underground areas, where Infravision would be the most useful. There also aren't any game-induced penalties for not having it when wandering around at night.

'Good' options may give you less gold, but also lowers the prices on practically everything you'd use said gold on. In addition, good solutions usually offer rare artifacts or party members you can't get otherwise, several quests require a certain reputation to get (and most of the actuallly good quests are for high Reputation players) and in most cases the 'evil' quests simply boil down to doing good deeds anyway but being rude about it in dialogue afterwards.

And Minsc has a bushy red afro and works as a bar-keep and DOES NOT adventure with the party at any point in time. Yeah, after years of protest, WotC did eventually declare the novels non-canon due to contradicting damn near every canon element of the series' story. They're now officially just an alternate continuity, while certain key events from the game's storyline are vaguely alluded to in the official timeline, but are easy to overlook if you don't know the events of the games well.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_57b80b45	comment	Fantastic Racism Having the Dark Elf Viconia on your team will lower your reputation. Kivan may attack Viconia because he despises the Drow, although getting this to actually happen is apparently rather tricky. Keldorn, who's usually quite fair and level-headed, hates her just because of her race, and will eventually try to kill her if they both remain in the team for too long. Note that Viconia is a bit of a racist herself. She treats Aerie and Kivan badly for being surface elves, has some disparaging things to say about Jaheira and Neera being half-elves and openly insults Jan and Korgan for being a gnome and a dwarf, as in the Underdark such races are often slaves to the drow. Korgan responds in kind. Dorn claims he's suffered this from both sides of his heritage, being an outcast among his father's orc tribe and his mother's human community. This is reflected in how just recruiting him constitutes a similar loss in reputation, and in party banter, where even good characters address him by his race instead of his class kit, which would be a more legitimate reason to dislike him. Beyond banter, one of Dorn's traitorous former adventuring party, Senjak, is flamingly racist towards Dorn, but it seems like they all have some shade of this, Senjak simply being the most vocal about it.

Unless you're playing easy mode, you have to reload to bring them back. This makes it difficult to play without reloading if your main character gets gibbed (or you become attached to the other characters) so you have to be Hard Core to consider this mode.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_5d1eb74d	type	Dump Stat
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_5d1eb74d	comment	As seen above, CHA is pretty popular as a Dump Stat, unsurprisingly (since this is Dungeons & Dragons that we're talking about here, after all). Most roleplayers (and in particular those who have a bit of pride and self-esteem will refuse to set it too low, but Munchkins in particular have a tendency to dump it as low as possible (unless it is a class that requires high Charisma, such as a Paladin, a Bard or a Druid). There are various reasons for that: The only charisma stat that is ever measured by the game engine is that of the party leader - and the first NPC recruited in both games, Imoen, also happens to have very good charisma (and even beyond that there are more than enough high charisma companions who can do the job as well). Go figure. In Shadows of Amn, you can acquire a ring that raises the wearer's charisma to 18 rather early on. So even if you play the Enhanced Edition where reaction modifiers are calculated using Charname's stats, your charisma of 3 still doesn't matter.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_5e7c0ab7	comment	Kleptomaniac Hero: Although unlike in most RPGs, there can be consequences if you're seen rifling through somebody's underwear drawer. Take note - you only get in trouble if it's a drawer you had to pick open, and you're actually SEEN. Drawers, barrels and shelves that were already unlocked are fair game. And even then sleeping Non Player Characters won't notice a thing and even then some people just don't care. You can still indulge your kleptomaniac side with liberal use of the Charm or Dire Charm spell, which prevents NPCs from calling the authorities. There are two cloaks in the first game with an unlimited capacity for casting Charm (this was a coding error that was corrected with the EE version; it was meant to only be cast once a day). There's a ring in the second that also has this as a special ability, though it can only be used once a day. Even a mageless party can steal to their heart's content!

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_6041e4f4	comment	The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard The All-Seeing A.I.: The computer always knows where all your characters are, at all times. Invisibility just prevents their scripts from kicking in and targeting you. Unless the enemy has True Sight, in which case they'll cast it if you get close enough. Even if they shouldn't know you're there. My Rules Are Not Your Rules: Some enemy mages are subject to this, as they not only have multiple contingencies or spell triggers ready at once but their contingencies aren't subject to the same restrictions as the player's. They also do the aforementioned trick of casting True Seeing when they shouldn't know you are there. Some can cast a spell that is never available to the protagonist, Dimension Door. This does benefit you, though, in that your spells are refreshed every time you sleep, while enemies will never sleep and therefore will never refresh their spells. Enemy thieves can also backstab from any position, as long as they've been hidden. You can only backstab if your character stands behind the enemy.

They also might approach the party and initiate conversation themselves without prompting, depending on how they're programmed. Not everyone that has a name has something important to say, though—a named noble in Feldpost's Inn just talks about how much she likes to drink; Carp in Nashkel will complain about being a farmer. And not everyone that is nameless is unimportant—the town crier in Beregost has no name, but he's the first NPC you'll run into that informs you of the Bassilus quest and who you need to speak to about it. And especially in the first game, the nobles that approach you only do so to insult you, insult the Sword Coast, or advertise another game. It gets worse in the second game. There are lots of named NPCs that have absolutely nothing helpful to say. They were probably named to keep their dialogue from getting confused with those of the more generic NPCs, since there are so many more of them in the second game, but their unique dialogue may just consist of snubbing . Characters that appear in cutscenes may have names, too, but these cutscenes (such as the woman trying to trick a cleric into supporting a child that's not his) can have no significance to the game's plot.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: If you want to achieve 100% Completion, you'd better believe it. Entire areas of the game world can be Permanently Missable if you don't go about things the right way. It doesn't help that the official strategy guides for all the entries in the series are not very useful. One look at their respective Amazon.com ratings will tell you that. You can get some pretty great items through pick-pocketing, but good luck finding the right marks on your own. You'll probably just end up with a handful of petty cash or, more likely, everyone just hating your guts. There are some odd things that a player may never find out unless they read a guide. For instance, there's a squirrel in the Cloud Peak area that has a magic Ioun stone (luckily it's just a joke item). There is a house in Beregost you can enter where the owner will react if you have a bloodstone amulet in your inventory. And some bandits show up in an area in a later chapter that you may not think to check again, especially if you cleared the map when you got it back in chapter 1!

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_7f287346	type	Most Gamers Are Male
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_7f287346	comment	Most Gamers Are Male: This series largely avoids outright Fanservice, for example depicting female characters wearing armor that appears to have been designed with protective ability rather than sex appeal as the primary consideration, and including plenty of female sidekicks who aren't particularly attractive or romantically interested in the hero. The series actually does have a relatively large female fanbase, and several independently created mods, mostly made by women, have expanded the romance subplot options for female characters. However: A minor example of less options for females is in the portrait selection. There are two sets of portraits per gender: ones that match NPCs used in the games, and generic ones that aren't used by any NPCs and are the choice of people who don't want to wonder why there's someone else in the world who looks exactly like them. There are six generic portraits for male characters, which is barely a satisfying selection as it is. Female characters only get two, which means players who aren't creating either a warrior human or mystic elf and want their portrait to match the character type will have to either select an NPC portrait or import a fanmade one. Eventually a set of ten bonus portraits - 5-a-side - were created for the Enhanced Edition. If you pick a portrait that belongs to one of the recruitable NPCs, their portrait will switch to one of the two generic ones. So you won't actually look like one of your NPC buddies unless you then go to your character profile and change your portrait to the one your fellow NPC is using. Viconia. While some gamers have actual gameplay reasons why Viconia makes the best cleric, there are others that will comment on her attractiveness or how her DEX of 19 must be good for ...other things as the reasons why she's the best. Apparently, this is based on the fact that a model was used to create her portrait and the fact that she is more willing to bed in her romance more than it's based on any actual Fanservice, since Viconia's sprites are the same as all the others. In the death screen of both games, the hand that's raised up that disintegrates into the Bhaal symbol is obviously modeled on a man's hand. Even if you're playing a female, this won't change.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_812ee32b	comment	Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards And how. At the beginning of the first game, it's much easier to survive if your main character is a warrior of some sort. Melee class characters are still quite effective in Baldur's Gate II and Throne of Bhaal, but by the end of the latter in particular magic-oriented characters can acquire truly godlike offensive abilities. Similarly with enemies; taking out plain old melee mooks becomes decidedly easier in the late game than taking out liches, beholders and other highly-skilled magic-users. On the flip side, a melee PC with the Inquisitor class wielding Carsomyr is particularly adept at putting the squish into Squishy Wizard. Although, with the sheer power that some spells convey, even they generally take the back seat to the party mages come Throne of Bhaal.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_8485d41a	comment	Interspecies Romance All the female romanceable NPCs for a male PC are elves or half-elves, while the sole male romanceable NPC is human. Of course the player can choose what race their character will be... Averted if your character isn't of the appropriate race. Viconia won't romance elves. Jaheira and Anomen won't romance gnomes. And no-one will romance the poor, unloved dwarves. Or half-orcs. Or halflings for that matter. Not entirely true, though. Apparently Viconia will romance a halfling and Aerie will romance a halfling or a gnome (which makes sense). Unfortunately, many fan-made romanceable NPCs follow the game's tradition. While some romance mods are being made or were made for characters that already existed in one of the games (Valen (in progress); Haer'Dalis; Solaufein; Xan), mods that have created brand new romanceable NPCs stick to making their NPCs human, half-elf, or elf. Seeming to pick up on the players' dissatisfaction with this, the four Enhanced Edition NPCs will take partners from any race as long as they are the appropriate gender. Yep, even half-orcs. (Dorn's romance even gets a moment that picks up on this, allowing Charname to comment on how they both have "fantastic tusks".) Neera and Rasaad are straight, Hexxat is a lesbian and Dorn is bisexual.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_87ce64a0	type	Old Save Bonus
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_87ce64a0	comment	Old Save Bonus: The series has this in two main ways: Character Exporting and Save File Importing. Character File Exporting gives the player the chance to play with a Player Character used in a previous campaign. This allows the player to start at a higher level, benefit from the use of manuals and tomes used to raise their character stats and keep their Bhaalspawn powers. Save File Importing allows the player to transfer their save files from one chapter of the series to another. Like Character File Exporting this is useful for increased XP and better stats via manuals and tomes, but it also allows them to keep specific pieces of equipment from game to game. As of the release of Siege of Dragonspear, this is how it works: Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition (which includes Tales of the Sword Coast) files can be exported to Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear or Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. This allows the player to bring a party of their choice into Siege of Dragonspear as well as certain magic items they otherwise can't obtain during the Dragonspear campaign. It also allows the player to pick certain items to export to Baldur's Gate II, which it shares with Siege of Dragonspear below. Siege of Dragonspear save files can be imported into Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. This allows the player to import items from the following tables: The Golden Pantaloons, a Joke Item that serves a purpose in the endgame of the saga, one of four magic armoursnote Protector of the Second (Leather Armor +2), Mail of the Dead (Chain Mail +2), Fallorain's Plate (Plate Mail +1) or Chain Mail +3, one of four mid-to-high-tier magic itemsnote The Helm of Balduran, the Claw of Kazgaroth (a cursed magic ring), the Horn of Kazgaroth (a special magic potion) or Koveras's Ring of Protection (a Ring of Protection +1), certain magic weapons note The Burning Earth (Longsword +1 that does extra damage to lycanthropes, trolls, winter wolves and undead), Ashideena (Warhammer +2 that does extra lightning damage), Wizard Slayer (Battle Axe that applies a high chance of miscasting spells to target), Suryis's Blade (Halberd +2), The Grave Binder (Dagger +2 with better damage dice), Staff Spear (a Quarterstaff that functions as a Spear +2), Staff Mace (a Quarterstaff that functions as a Mace +2 with 2d4 damage dice), Arla's Dragonbane (Sling +3), Varscona (Longsword +2 with extra cold damage), Krotanâ€™s Skullcrusher (Mace +2) or Kiel's Morning Star (cursed Morning Star +3 that causes its wielder to go Berserk) and up to ten magic weapons and items found during the Dragonspear campaignnote The Archer's Eyes amulet, the Bard Hat, the Belt of the Skillful Blade, a magic dart called the Biter, the Buckler of the Fist, the two-handed Dragon Blade, the Helmet of Dumathoin, the Robe of Red Flames, a bard instrument called the Tangled Strings and the Voidsword/Voidhammer. The items from the original game can be found throughout the initial dungeon, while the Dragonspear items are scattered throughout the rest of the Shadows of Amn campaign in the loot piles of certain dungeons and the inventories of certain merchants. Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition allows files from its Shadows of Amn Campaign to be imported into its Throne of Bhaal campaign. Some weapons and items can only be brought over in this way (including crafted weapons like Crom Faeyr), but its most notable quality is that the Golden Pantaloons from the first game, along with the Silver Pantaloons obtained during Shadows of Amn and the Bronze Pantalettes obtained during Throne of Bhaal can be combined into the Big Metal Unit, a highly-powerful armour that comes with its own unique weapon.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_8aebbc74	type	Evil Pays Better
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_8aebbc74	comment	Evil Pays Better: Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Your Reputation determines Charname's effective alignment, and it's easier to controllably raise your Reputation than lower it (until you can transform into the Slayer). At 19 and 20 Reputation any Evil characters in your party will straight-up leave you never to return, taking their precious gear with them, and likewise around 2 Reputation any Good and Neutral characters (apart from Imoen) will do the same. If you can keep it in the middle, though, the worst you'll get from your companions are a few snarky comments. Also, a high Reputation improves people's reactions to you, leading to discounts at shops and a better chance of people giving you nice things, while a low one imposes price penalties until eventually merchants just stop doing business with you at all, and increases the chance of local law enforcement (the Flaming Fist in the first game, Amnian soldiers in the second) appearing and trying to kill you for your crimes. Reputation aside, some of the best items in the first game can only obtained by picking fights with rude strangers, breaking and entering or just pick-pocketing, while negotiation and peace-making has little to offer. Good companions tend to be all-rounders but suffer from lack of focus, while Evil companions tend to be statistically optimized but devoted to a specific niche. The straightest example of this would have to be the path to getting the Big Metal Unit, created by taking joke items the Golden Pantaloons, the Silver Pantaloons and the Bronze Pantalettes to a craftsman in Throne of Bhaal. It's the ultimate armor in the game and requires a full playthrough of the series... and two of its component pieces can only be obtained through illicit means. The Golden Pantaloons require you to essentially steal them from the man who owns them; the Silver Pantaloons require you to Blackmail their owner under threat of his wife's life to hand them over, and includes a Reputation loss. (You could bypass this by pick-pocketing him, but that's hardly better.) The Bronze Pantalettes aren't squeaky clean either — you get them by sending some low-level adventurers into a situation you have no reason to believe they will make it out of alive.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_95265081	comment	Leeroy Jenkins: Any party member's default scripted behavior is basically to attack any creature registered as an enemy with the weapon they currently hold until said enemy is dead. Can be rather annoying for anybody who wants to retain control over all of their six party members, if their Squishy Wizard suddenly decides to chase a panicked enemy into as of yet unexplored territory (which frequently contains lots of traps and more enemies) with nothing but a dagger in their hand.

Similarly, Phaere was originally a good person despite her surroundings and upbringing, but her mother was so disturbed by her behaviour (and her love for her boyfriend) that she had her tortured for weeks until she became bitter, scheming and cruel.

Any found item that has a magic enchantment on it needs to be identified; thankfully magic scrolls and potions do not (the only exception are the green protection scrolls, but they are enchanted or cursed so that anyone can use them). Item identification can get tedious, so Tweak Pack mods for both games can be installed to remove the need for identification. Gluttons for punishment can install the tweaks that require even gems and potions to be identified instead.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_bb7ae292	type	Child by Rape
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_bb7ae292	comment	As it turns out, at least some of the Bhaalspawn had abusive mothers as well. While Gorion claims the Bhaalspawn were conceived by Bhaal raping innocent women and there's no reason not to believe that he did, others were born to priestesses of Bhaal who were in fact delighted to get a bellyful of Bhaal's babies. These same priestesses were often the ones attempting to sacrifice their own babies for Bhaal's benefit. The player's mother was one of them, and she would have succeeded if Gorion hadn't killed her first.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_bf1255fa	type	Really Gets Around
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_bf1255fa	comment	Really Gets Around: Bhaal takes this trope to its logical extreme and for all the implications that follow. Let it be known that the Lord of Murder does not discriminate in this regard. See Shapeshifting Squick. Well, at least they were all alive and capable of sexual reproduction, but that's about all the discretion he showed. He must have slept with every sentient creature this side of mustard jellies. Also, he must have been at this for a while, considering that he would have had to have sired Abazigal several hundred years ago for him to be the size he is (and for that matter, for his son Draconis to be the size he is. And to a lesser extent, in order for dwarf and gnome bhaalspawn to be adults as well, although Humans, Halflings, Half-Elves, and Elves all reach physical maturity at 25 or earlier. And ever since the first edition, it looks like he was going around banging Orcs as a human and Half-Orcs too now. May be a subversion, in that all the clues say is The lord of murder shall perish, but in his doom he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny. - He may not actually have literally slept with the mothers of all of the bhaalspawn, and instead his immortal essence traveled into the past by varying degrees (so that the bhaalspawn all 'came of age' at the same time) and caused a type of semi-mystical parthenogenesis. Considering what we know of both the main character and Sarevok's parents it seems to be that Bhaal went around knocking up his own cultists by and large. As well it seems likely that he used his position to get multi-cultural with the various non-humans he knocked up (giants and dragons notably).

The regular Bard's song can actually come in handy as a free "remove fear" effect, and makes some battles against pesky mages that use fear spells in the first game easier. The Jester kit, introduced in BGII, confuses enemies when playing the song. It's a good effect. The Enhanced Bard Song, a High Level Special Ability exclusive to Bards, on the other hand, is usually considered one of the best High Level Abilities there are. To elaborate, it gives all party members +4 to THAC0, damage, AC and +5% magic resistance. The best part? It stacks! Not to imply that you have more than one Bard in your party, but clones created by the ''Mislead'' spell can actually also sing...

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_cb0b6076	comment	Upbringing Makes the Hero: Charname and Imoen were raised by Gorion, a loving foster father who encouraged them to follow their own path; as such, Imoen is Neutral Good and Charname can choose to be Good (although they can still be Evil or just Neutral). They certainly fared better than Sarevok — although he loved his caring foster mother, his foster father Rieltar Anchev strangled her to death in front of him when he was only a child and threatened to do the same to him as an adult if he ever turned against him, and his Evil Mentor Winksi Perorate advised and, it is hinted, influenced him towards exploiting his Bhaalspawn heritage to indulge his divine abition. Tamoko even mentions that Sarevok is envious and resentful of Charname for having a loving parental figure and cutesy childhood friend/surrogate little sister that he never did. Throne of Bhaal even implies that if they switched places, Charname could have been the one who planned to murder their way to godhood and Sarevok could have been the one who stepped up to stop them. Nyalee states upfront that she groomed Yaga-Shura to become Bhaal's successor, just as Winski Perorate did with Sarevok; unlike Winski and Rieltar, however, she genuinely loved her adoptive son as well. Tragically, Yaga-Shura doesn't love her back — although he may have when he was child (we don't know and no effort has ever been made to enlighten us). In fact, Throne of Bhaal clearly believes that any of the Bhaalspawn opposing the player could have been a hero if they'd had someone like Gorion in their lives. It's implied that Shar-Teel's raging misandry and dislike of authority, including Flaming Fist mercenaries, stems from her bad relationship with her father. Korgan lost both of his parents to inter-clan warfare, was born via Traumatic C-Section as his mother was dying and built his father's funeral pyre himself as a child after the latter's death. No wonder he's so messed up. Anomen's mom has been dead for years, and his dad is an abusive alcoholic who thoroughly disapproves of his son's career choice. Anomen's jerkassery might be a front for deep insecurity as a result. Viconia was disowned by her family after she refused to kill a baby as a Rite of Passage and fled to the surface from a world where Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad, so it's understandable that she suffers such extreme culture shock. Similarly, Phaere was originally a good person despite her surroundings and upbringing, but her mother was so disturbed by her behaviour (and her love for her boyfriend) that she had her tortured for weeks until she became bitter, scheming and cruel. Both Jaheira and Faldorn were given away at birth to druid groves, spent their childhoods living there and took the values of their respective druid circles to heart when they grew up. It was pure chance that Jaheira grew up in a regular druid grove and Faldorn grew in a grove run by the Shadow Druids, which is ultimately what separates and divides them.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_d0309fad	type	Religion is Magic
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_d0309fad	comment	Religion is Magic: The cleric class, of course. A mix between melee combat and healing/offensive/supportive spellcasting, the cleric selects a patron deity to whom they pray in order to receive their spells, and in the case of class kits certain unique abilities. The class kits allow the player one of three patron deities: Talos, the Stormlord, Helm, the Vigilant, and Lathander, the Morninglord. Originally restricted by moral alignment (Talos was Evil, Helm Neutral and Lathander Good), this was changed in Patch 1.3 of the Enhanced Edition to the standard same-alignment-or-one-step-away system — Talos (Chaotic Neutral, Neutral Evil, Chaotic Evil), Helm (Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, Lawful Good, Lawful Evil) and Lathander (Neutral Good, Lawful Good, Chaotic Good, True Neutral) — after Beamdog realised certain class kit-alignment combinations made no sense (Priests of Helm could be Chaotic Neutral when Helm's church is a stickler for following the rules, while priests of Talos could be Lawful Evil when the Talassan faith is violently opposed to law and order). NPC clerics have patron deities of their own. Druids are similar in function but the 2e ruleset enforces a True Neutralinvoked alignment on them and their spell selection is lower and more nature-oriented; lorewise, they serve nature themed deities of any stripe. Paladins, still restricted to Lawful Goodinvoked, function like this as a clerical version of the Magic Knight, and rangers choose a druid god as the source of their divine spells in lore, making them druidic Magic Knights. NPC divine magic users who can join the player's party include: Branwen is a cleric of Tempus, the Lord of Battles, who later got his own cleric kit in Icewind Dale. Viconia was originally a cleric of Lolth, the Queen of Spiders, leader of the drow pantheon, but stopped worshipping her after her Even Evil Has Standards incident. These days she worships Shar, the Mistress of the Night, who is a few rungs below Lolth on the ladder of evil. Yeslick is a cleric of the dwarven god Clangeddin Silverbeard, the Father of Battle. Quayle is a cleric of the gnomish god Baravar Cloakshadow, the Sly One. Tiax is a cleric of Cyric, the Prince of Lies. For that matter, so is Mulahey, a Starter Villain from the first game. Aerie is a cleric of Aerdrie Faenya, Queen of the Avariel, and Baervan Wildwanderer, the Forest Gnome. Jaheira and Cernd are druids who worship Chauntea, the Earth Mother. Faldorn is a druid who worships Silvanus, the Oak Father. Ajantis is a paladin in the service of Helm. Anomen is a cleric of Helm, as well. Keldorn is a paladin in the service of Torm, the Loyal Fury. Kivan and Valygar are rangers, and the rules of the setting make it clear they have to have picked a patron druid deity, even accounting for the latter's status as a Nay-Theist, but it remains unclear whom them worship.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_d4d98674	comment	We Cannot Go On Without You: One of the classic examples, and at first it seems a bit odd; your allies can literally fall like leaves around you and the game won't care (in fact, the reason BG1 has so many recruitables who have somewhat thin characterization is that the developers assumed low-level D&D play would go through characters rather quickly), but the instant the protagonist hits 0 HP, BAM, game over. Of course, this does get justified very well in the games: since the protag is a Bhaalspawn, when s/he dies, Bhaal's divine essence within them is returned to 'the pool'. Even IF the protag is resurrected, you just lost the abilities that let you beat the overarching plot. At the same time, this justification creates a minor plothole. Despite also being a Bhaalspawn, Imoen can be resurrected just fine. No justification is offered for that, although it's suggested that her innate cheeriness kept the taint at bay. Even more plothole-y are all kinds of spells that incapacitate Charname without killing them. The above justification doesn't explain why your group wouldn't be able to lug your petrified form to the nearest temple or dispel it themselves.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_d88e125e	type	Our Dragons Are Different
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_d88e125e	comment	Our Dragons Are Different: Obviously they're a scaled down version of the Dungeons & Dragons version. Most of those you see are evil, but Adalon is a notable exception, as are the green dragons in Hell (Shadows of Amn) and Abazigal's Lair (Throne of Bhaal). They're instant spellcasters (with some of the best/most annoying spells in the game), very intelligent, universally arrogant (including the good ones), and garish sycophancy is a minimum requirement for not being obliterated on sight. On the plus side, most will not attack you on sight, and none can fit through their enormous lair doors so you can always flee. Even the "easiest" dragons also give tens of thousands of experience, so it's worth the effort. Other kinds are alluded to, but very rare - two half dragons, and the fairy dragon that Chaotic Good mages get as a familiar. It's also implied, as always in D&D, that sorcerers are descended from Dragons by way of explanation for their instant spellcasting.

A big factor in becoming a benevolent character is also believing this, or at least acknowledging that your heroism is partially the result of how you grew up.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_f3cf30d9	comment	Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Despite the fact that there are more than 30 playable characters among the various games, you can only have five in your party at any one time in addition to the PC. Particularly egregious since the game doesn't even make an attempt to Hand Wave it when you try to add a seventh member to the party, and it's perfectly possible to control more than six characters with charm spells, summonings, and the like. Some have suggested that there were plans at some point to increase the limit for the sequel, as indicated by the room in the interface for such, but that never happened. In addition, the stated reason for there being so many recruitables in the first game is that 2nd Edition D&D is Nintendo Hard (though not to the extent of 1st edition), and although resurrection spells exist, low-level characters have nowhere near the resources for them. Players were expected to get some of their party members killed off, so the developers made sure plenty of replacements would be available.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_f9669a32	type	Useless Useful Stealth
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_f9669a32	comment	Useless Useful Stealth High-level backstabbing, especially the Assassin's x7 backstab. Dealing the damage cap (1048 damage) with a single hit? Awesome. Knowing that everything in the game at the point you get it is either immune to backstab or can be killed twice as fast by your mage or fighter without placing your rogue in the middle of a fight they probably can't handle? Makes it considerably less so. The Assassin has a second issue in that the kit's main feature isn't gained until level 21, and even then its slow thieving skill progression means that the Assassin might not have gotten enough skill points to thoroughly fill the niche of the rogue until levels after that. This means Assassins can't be dual-classed at a reasonable level without impairing the aspects that make a thief worthwhile in the first place, and a thief who isn't dual-classed or multi-classed is at a disadvantage in combat because they can only become 'proficient' with any given weapon, whereas certain other classes can gain up to Grand Mastery. The Assassin isn't completely irredeemable though, as it starts with poison abilities, which are extremely useful. Fortunately, high-level rogues get their revenge with the traps. The blatantly imbalanced spike trap deals 20d10 damage and its damage cannot be dodged, saved against or blocked in any way. Six of them will kill the game's toughest boss in one shot, and a high-level rogue can get another use per day for every level he or she gains. However, a timely dual-classed and equipped swashbuckler/fighter can distribute 300+ damage per round after their FIRST levelup in the expansion, or 200+ damage per round in the vanilla game, and far south of the XP cap. Ultimately, the best thief is still an ex-thief, unless it's the imbalanced Kensai/Thief dual-class, which has several of the Kensai's bonuses, can wear armor at high levels, can cast magic from scrolls, has a low enough THAC0 to hit pretty much anything consistently and has all the assorted thief abilities. Single class swashbucklers are actually the 2nd highest physical damage dealing class in the game, behind a pure Kensai. Their only disadvantage is their lack of natural attacks, which dual-wielding speed weapons allows them to match warriors (And once they get to those rare +4 and above enemies they can use Whirlwind attack for 10 attacks, with a staff of the ram+6 or whatever other weapons you want them to use), and then surpass them in terms of damage per hit. Which combined with epic traps, the ability to wear any items they please, and use mage spells, they're effectively fighter/mage/thieves in a single VERY high level class. Pickpocketing also falls under this. While it isn't inherently broken, there are so few items in either game worth stealing this way that it's more efficient to buff up the skill with potions when it's needed rather than investing in it with skill points that could be better spent on things that will be used more often.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_fc451ba4	comment	Follow the Leader: Baldur's Gate is often credited as singlehandedly saving the Western RPG genre from drying up entirely as well as setting the standards that RPGs follow today. Ironically, it only managed to do so by adopting certain traits from the Eastern RPG genre: instead of letting the player generate a party of what essentially constitutes a bunch of Faceless Mooks without personality or backstory, the Baldurs Gate-style game has the player assemble a party of premade NPC companions; only the main character is generated, with the player usually having some choices when it comes to deciding on a class, a personality and possibly some background elements (that part is a departure from the Eastern RPG where the hero usually is as predefined as any other character).

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_fcb733b1	type	Disadvantageous Disintegration
Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_fcb733b1	comment	Disadvantageous Disintegration: Disintegration is a One-Hit Kill spell that destroys the enemy... as well as any equipment they were carrying. Since any enemy powerful enough to be worth killing instantly is also going to be carrying loot worth taking, this spell is impractical.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_fda1a026	comment	Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics: Darts and throwing knives move very slowly and will change direction in midair if their target moves. Arrows will also change direction if the target moves, though they don't move as slow as throwing knives.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_ff5a74c8	comment	Talking Is a Free Action: Talking About Important Plot Points Is a Free Action. Tweak pack mods for both games can be installed that make sure time will always stand still whenever conversation happens. Previously, battles could still take place while characters were talking.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Some quests give you the option of going out of your way to do a bit extra to help someone out — such as giving Farmer Brun 100 gold to help him keep his farm in the first game, or giving freed slave children money for food. If the player character is evil but does such things anyway, they are enacting this trope.

Baldur's Gate (Franchise) / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Spectator Beholders were a sub-species of Beholder that, at the time of Baldur's Gate II, were actually not evil. They were Lawful Neutral as opposed to the Lawful Evil that was normal for their species. Makes sense for a species that has "summon us to guard your stuff" as their whole schtick.
