Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is the Spin-Off of the popular Baldur's Gate franchise. Besides the name, the only main element it shares with the originals is the setting. Unlike its namesakes, which are classic computer RPGs, Dark Alliance is an Action RPG Dungeon Crawler game with a heavy focus on combat and co-op gameplay, drawing heavily from the style of the Gauntlet and Diablo games and can feasibly be credited with paving the way for such games as Champions of Norrath, X-Men Legends, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and many other console games of the sixth generation.The first game, by Snowblind Studios, released in December 2001, offers the player a choice of three characters: Vahn, Human Arcane Archer: archer with weapon-related magical abilities. Adrianna, Elven Sorceress: spell caster, limited to smaller weapon classes. Kromlech, Dwarven Fighter: strong melee fighter with limited melee magic.The plot is simple: Once again something is amiss in the city of Baldur's Gate. A new Thieves' Guild has arrived and has declared war on the existing one — a troubling prospect as this new guild brought scores of monsters with it and has no problems with killing. Our heroes are tasked by a local agent of The Harpers to end this devastating gang war, only to discover that the new guild's agenda is larger than everyone thought...and that they are someone else's pawn.The game is particularly noteworthy in its All-Star Cast. Practically every speaking character is voiced by a very recognizable industry veteran. Just in the first five minutes after the titles, you have Jennifer Hale, Tony Jay, with Michael Bell, Cam Clarke, Grey DeLisle and MANY others joining later.Despite the genre shift, the game was well received and spawned a sequel in January 2004 by Black Isle Studios with new characters. Said characters are: Dorn the Human Barbarian, a powerful melee fighter who can evolve into a druid. Alessia the Human Cleric, a balanced character with healing and anti-undead magics. Can become a Paladin. Borador the Dwarven rogue, tricky warrior who is an expert with his crossbow. Can evolve into a Dwarven Hero Vhaidra the Drow Monk, a swift bare-handed fighter who can become an Assassin Ysuran the Elvish Necromancer, an amnesiac wizard who can become a Shadow Adept.This time around the plot is a bit more complex. News of the Onyx Tower, the Big Bad's fortress from the first game, has spread across Faerun, thus inspiring a wave of heroes to home in on Baldur's Gate for a chance to bring it down and earn their own glory. Unfortunately, by the time they get there, it turns out they've Missed the Call since the Tower has already been destroyed and its owner defeated. However, the heroes responsible for saving the city disappeared shortly after.There's still plenty to do in Baldur's Gate, ranging from yet another Thieves' Guild, to solving a series of grisly murders, random monster-killing sidequests, and eventually serving once again as an agent for the Harpers—who among other things wish to reconstruct the Onyx Tower for themselves in order to keep it out of the hands of the Zhentarim. What they don't know, of course, is that someone else wishes the Tower too, and is secretly manipulating them all...Though it still has chapters (five instead of three), Baldur's Gate remains the player characters' home base rather than it shifting with each chapter, with each of the many quests, subquests, and sidequests allowing them to range all over the Western Heartlands through numerous multi-level dungeons—in many ways it is literally an expansion of the first game. The ability to customize weaponry, armor, and items with the incorporation of jewels has also been added.Work on a Dark Alliance III was cancelled due to Black Isle's closure. The 2021 game Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is a In Name Only successor, an online coop brawler starring the cast of The Legend of Drizzt. To promote the game's release, both older Dark Alliance games received an Updated Re-release for modern platforms.

Dirty Coward: Habdazar Doomwing, a gnome wizard hired by the Zhentarim in the Elemental Plane of Air. He's followed by a lot of Zhentarim, rides a huge Manticore, and runs away to Karne when he's defeated. Unsurprisingly, Karne runs him through with his sword, in a rather delicious instance of enforcing the Exact Words of an oath he had sworn to guard the Air Foundation with his life.

Gravity Barrier: Averted. If the player accidentally comes too close to the edge of a deep hole, cliff, or other drop-off, they fall, and after a long pause you hear them "oof" as they land. Game Over. Some areas, particularly underground cavern dungeons, are designed precisely to make this a constant danger for the unwary (or accident-prone).

Well about time. Also Dorn will threaten to disembowel the player if he doesn't act for too long.

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!
 Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (Video Game) / int_33fa230b
comment
Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Repeatedly in both games. In the first one, after what feels like the Very Definitely Final Dungeon infiltrating Xantam's Guild, evading countless traps and mooks, taking out Karne, and finally Xantam, you discover he was only part of a sinister scheme of triumvirate villains you must also take out. In the Sunset Mountains what seems to be a drow plot isn't the true enemy, it's the white dragon on the mountain top. And in the Marsh of Chelimber, taking out the king of the lizard men simply opens the way to a temple where there is an entrance via the Plane of Water into the true final dungeon. Lampshaded by the drow priestess boss, who's a bit surprised that you've followed the breadcrumbs as well as you have despite not knowing who the real villain is. In the sequel, Argesh and the Red Queen of the Hands of Glory turn out to merely be fronts for Aizagora; the Zhentarim are made out to be the enemy when in fact it is Mordoc (and as soon as you recover all the elemental artifacts, in fact, Jherek "discovers" that the Onyx Tower the Harpers were trying to raise to keep it out of the Zhentarim's hands has been taken control of by Mordoc); and one quest, for the Oceanic Urn, has this happen twice—you defeat the pirates only to discover the Urn has been taken into the Sea Temple, and then after you recover it and head back to Baldur's Gate one of the men with you turns out to be The Mole for the Zhentarim and steals it so you must chase him down in Hill's Edge to recover it.

Vocal Dissonance: In the Italian dub of the game, some voices sound very unfitting for certain characters, especially in contrast with the original voice. Very noticeable with Allessia (who sounds like a teenager rather than an adult woman) and Lyran, who has a ridiculous high-pitched voice more befitting a comedic portrayal of a eunuch.

Degraded Boss: The very first boss encountered is a Bugbear Chieftain ruling a small gang of Kobolds. While Bugbears are far from being mere mooks, they still aren't that impressive later on. In the sequel the first boss is a goblin riding a huge spider. These appear as enemies much later in the game, but are much easier to take out. Also the second boss is a hobgoblin warrior: you will later slay them by the score, including variants armed with crossbows or polearms.

The former is probably the most virtuous and righteous of the playable characters, all her suits of armors are concealing and even without armors she wears a caste-looking tabard and shirt. Vhaidra is basically a Villain Protagonist and most of her armors are skimpier, baring her midriff and cleavage.

Exact Eavesdropping: Played with in the sequel—if while in Firewind Manor you choose to hang back in an alcove and listen in to Arogazia chastising Karne instead of bursting in on her, the conversation is extended to provide more Exposition on the plot, all of which is accurate and important information. But then it turns into something of a Just Between You and Me moment...because after she finishes talking to Karne, Arogazia reveals she knew you were there the whole time, taunts you about being too late to stop her, reveals her true form, and escapes, leaving you in a burning, collapsing manor.

You Have Failed Me: In the sequel there are three times when a boss retreats after being beaten, but the first time this happens that boss reports back to her master, only to be choked to death and be called a coward. The second time a boss retreats he is impaled by his master.

Infinity -1 Sword: Twofold in the second game: completing each sidequest for the characters will net them a unique but very powerful piece of equipment (an amulet for Ysuran, throwing knives for Vhaidra, an axe for Borador, chainmail for Dorn and a bastard sword for Allessia). Later, in Mordoc's keep, depending on which hero you release first and with which character, you can get a powerful, enchanted version of a Shortbow, Staff or Great Axe).

Checkpoint: In the first game, each chapter has its own—Bartley in Baldur's Gate, the dwarf merchant in the Sunset Mountains, and Sleyvas in the Marsh of Chelimber. Once the player has entered each new chapter, they are stuck with whatever supplies they do (or don't) have and no other means to restore health until they reach that checkpoint character.

Long Song, Short Scene: In the sequel, the final boss music from the first (it's a very epic song) returns but it can feel like a wasted song when The Dragon you fight before the final boss is the one who gets the song for his battle... yet the final boss has no boss music, so you end up feeling like the Final Boss should have had the music.

 Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: With a few exceptions, any of the heroes can use any piece of equipment in the first game, while in the second, characters need to take proficiencies in certain feats to gain access to heavier armors and weaponry. This is especially notable in that Adrianna, the sorceress, can be fully decked out in plate armor and wielding a large sword and heavy shield. Even weirder since, while a spin-off, the original series took its gameplay from Dungeons & Dragons, which only allowed arcane spellcasters to wear armor IF they had proficiency for it, and they then had to contend with Arcane Spellcasting Failure (ie: should you wear anything more than robes, there is a % chance of your spell fizzling due to hindered movement, the percentage growing with heavier armor and/or wielding a shield).

Magic Knight: Both Vahn and Adrianna fulfill this role easily in the first game as Vahn is an Arcane Archer and can magically imbue his arrows with various elements and effects. Adrianna, on the other hand, is a standard sorceress with multiple spells at her disposal and can wear full plate armor and wield swords and shields with the best of them, only being held back by being unable to wield greatswords, battle axes, hammers, and halberds. She is significantly more squishy than Vahn or Kromlech though.

Contractual Boss Immunity: In the case of the player, there is a boss whose ability is mind control. You can see its victims and fight them, yet the best its abilities can do to the player is stun (and harm) them. Also Borador is resilient to the Basilisk's gaze, though he'll take damage and get slowed down instead of being turned to stone right away. In the second game, all the Undead bosses (Lyran, Captain Khoris, Mordoc etc) can be damaged by the Turn Undead skill of Allessia as usual, but won't lose control or run away from the player.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: In battle, keep an eye on the color of the damage inflicted to enemies: white means it's dealing normal damage, yellow signifies a critical hit, gray means that the attack is not effective, blue means that the attack is very effective and green means that the attack is actually healing your foe or that the enemy is regenerating.

Casting a Shadow: Mordoc was very pissed when he found out that, as a Vampire, he no longer had a shadow, so he populated his castle with hordes of Living Shadow monsters. Aside from him, Ysuran and his quest-specific boss Kalak can both employ Shadow Weave magic.

Large Ham: Many of the characters engage in this in some fashion. The character models sometimes use rather expressive, sweeping gestures as they talk, though none are nearly as bad as Jherek, who gestures and puts enormous emphasis on a LOT of what he says. The second game toned some of this down...a little bit at least.

It's Personal: Later in the sequel your character can go on an optional quest that is unique to them. At the end of the quest they fight a boss which is almost always this trope, as they are a boss from the character's past or someone who has a great meaning to them, the process of fighting them enables vengeance for a great wrong, or the quest allows them to fulfill a personal oath (such as Borador repaying his clan's debt). Except for Dorn, who has to slay a Green Dragon for a druid priestess and has nothing personal against the beast.

Healing Factor: Trolls, especially in the second game, are constantly healing and even if they are "killed", they'll slowly regenerate health until they're able to stand up again to keep fighting. The only way to keep them down is to deal the coup de grace while they are already suffering from fire/acid damge, with said damage or to perform a fire/acid attack on them while they are down.

She plays a substantially more prominent role in the first Dark Alliance, and her tavern is the main hub for the first third of the game. Alyth, along with the unlockable playable character and Forgotten Realms staple Drizzt Do'Urden (who made cameo appearances in the first two main installments) are two of the only characters that appeared in the main series to be carried over to the Dark Alliance sub-series. The disembodied voice of the elven woman that haunts the Elfsong Tavern is inexplicably silent in the original Baldur's Gate, but is now heard in the tavern during Chapter I of the first Dark Alliance, and more of her backstory is revealed later on.

Rewarding Vandalism: Crates, barrels, jars, etc. The sequel gets particularly creative about this, with chunks of ice in the Plane of Water, chunks of stone or gems in the Plane of Earth, and chunks of hardened magma in the Plane of Fire which can all be broken open.

The second game inverts it—the player character(s) is/are traveling to Baldur's Gate in order to deal with the villains from the first game (not yet having gotten the memo they were defeated already), only to encounter merchant Randalla Brasshorn along the way and save her from goblins working for the new Thieves' Guild. In gratitude Randalla asks to be escorted to the city and once there, will meet with the hero(es) at the Purple Wyrm Inn, which is where she will give out quests (though she isn't the only one in the city who will do so). So the hero meets their benefactor elsewhere (and if it's a group of heroes, they already met on the road while coming to deal with the villains), and only meet her at an inn afterward.

You All Meet in an Inn: To be precise, you all go to an inn (the famous Elfsong Tavern) after being mugged in the streets. You're even asked to clear the giant rats out of the cellar. The player also meets lots of NPCs of various trustworthiness who give them their quests here. The second game inverts it—the player character(s) is/are traveling to Baldur's Gate in order to deal with the villains from the first game (not yet having gotten the memo they were defeated already), only to encounter merchant Randalla Brasshorn along the way and save her from goblins working for the new Thieves' Guild.

Tragic Villain: Once you learn Eldrith's backstory, it is very hard not to feel sorry for her. Even the fact her scheme involves colluding with a beholder, a white dragon, and lizardfolk, as well as wiping out the entire population of Baldur's Gate all in Revenge for what the dukes of the city did to her doesn't completely mitigate this, especially when the final boss music is so heartbreakingly tragic. And after defeating her, Eldrith realizes the full magnitude of her fall from grace, repents, thanks the heroes, and urges them to escape. See also Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds.

Using the Onyx Tower, Mordoc turns the inhabitants of the city into the undead, forcing the player(s) to return to Baldur's Gate to fight through it. All the shops and friendly NPCs are gone, leaving only a dark version of the city behind to fight in.

Oddly despite being a chieftain of bugbears, he has kobolds (tiny lizard-like creatures) as his minions instead of the creatures he's chieftain of. Also later in the game, Sess'sth, who is king of the lizard men.

Tactical Suicide Boss: The Orb of Undead is fully capable of staying in the air as long as it likes, and the player is incapable of aiming up to shoot it while it is only a few metres above the ground. The Orb of Undead can only summon minions while on the ground, but the player is sealed in its boss room because of the force fields that only disappear once the boss is dead, so the Orb Of Undead could probably wait for the player to get bored and exit the game. But then again, where's the fun in that?

Unexplained Recovery: Karne. And thankfully Randalla when you slay Xanhast. Judging from her words, destroying the core of the Tower hit the Reset Button for all the transformed and slain citizens.

The Mole

comment
In the sequel, Argesh and the Red Queen of the Hands of Glory turn out to merely be fronts for Aizagora; the Zhentarim are made out to be the enemy when in fact it is Mordoc (and as soon as you recover all the elemental artifacts, in fact, Jherek "discovers" that the Onyx Tower the Harpers were trying to raise to keep it out of the Zhentarim's hands has been taken control of by Mordoc); and one quest, for the Oceanic Urn, has this happen twice—you defeat the pirates only to discover the Urn has been taken into the Sea Temple, and then after you recover it and head back to Baldur's Gate one of the men with you turns out to be The Mole for the Zhentarim and steals it so you must chase him down in Hill's Edge to recover it.

MacGuffin Guardian: An unusual one in the Hammer Hall: the secret vault you can unlock contains a singular keeper: a sentient, moving giant pick-axe that will mercilessly attack anyone who steps into the room. What's more, it can't be killed, as it will always fly back up.

Theme Naming: Because the Onyx Heart can only be activated by the four Elemental Foundations (with the heart itself associated with Shadow, naturally), the four artifacts needed to activate them are also elemental in name and nature—the Oceanic Urn, the Orb of Thunder, the Brazier of Eternal Flame, and the Jade Octahedron.
