Baldur’s Gate: The Original Saga is a classic Windows role-playing game compilation that brings together the original Baldur’s Gate (1998) and its expansion Tales of the Sword Coast in one package. Developed by BioWare and published during the late 1990s, this saga is set in the high-fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms, using the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition rules and the iconic Infinity Engine.
Players create a custom hero who becomes embroiled in a sweeping epic along the Sword Coast, recruiting companions, exploring rich environments, and engaging in deep, tactical real-time combat with pause. The compilation preserves the engaging storytelling, memorable characters, and strategic gameplay that have made Baldur’s Gate one of the most influential CRPGs ever.
The expansion adds new quests, areas, and challenges, extending playtime well beyond the base game. Both titles support single-player and multiplayer over LAN or modem, with a strong emphasis on character development, exploration, and narrative choice. Baldur’s Gate: The Original Saga remains a beloved classic that defined Western computer RPGs and still inspires players and developers alike today.
