Baldur's Gate II: EE Reviews

Please update the resolution

The game doesn’t use the full screen on an iPhone 12. I guess this is no longer supported? Couldn’t play or read the text.

Bought it on sale. I feel cheated.

If you had told me 8 years ago when I first played through the EE editions of this game on PC that I’d enjoy them more on an iPad I would have called you crazy and laughed. I am surprised how much more I enjoy these on the iPad compared with my PC. As text heavy games doing the reading on the iPad is very comfortable. I also felt more connected to my party and NPCs compared to using a traditional mouse and keyboard. I’ve played the entirety of the main game Shadows of Amn and haven’t quite finished Throne of Bhaal on the iPad, yet. The long press can be annoying at times but usually works. Sometimes in combat it can be difficult to know for sure if you have the intended enemy selected, you have to learn to tap the “feet” of anyone you want to talk with or attack. These are minor gripes and in no way inhibiting from the enjoyment of playing this classic on iPad. I had one bug I don’t remember on PC, for the Skinner Murder’s in the Bridge District, I tried speaking with the tanner before I took the evidence to the chief guard. Afterwards I went to the chief guard and gave him the evidence and he ran off, however when I go back to the tanner shop the tanner is there and I am unable to initiate conversation or do anything else. I can attack but he is unkillable and never turns red. Only bug and broken quest I experienced and not in any way breaking. And I did a lot of the companion side quests etc. If you’re new to these types of games I would recommend starting with the Baldur’s Gate EE and also finding a guide online to help build your character.

Awesome until you encounter a major bug and discover..

The link to their tech support is to a page which no longer exists. I guess I’ll restart and guess when I f’ed up the ranger storyline so I can avoid doing whatever caused me to not be able to complete it the first time.

My eyes hurt on the iPhone 13 pro max

I couldn’t make it through character creatation. As much as I love having these games on here this one cannot be played. It’s a small square on the phone. Civilization 6 does a better job. I gave one extra start bc I love the effort to bring it to mobile but it’s not there yet.

Same character import bug plaguing game for years

HP lost if importing a dual class character (import fighter/mage and hp is recalculated using only mage levels). It’s been complained about since forever.. please fix or provide a quick and dirty editor so we can correct the issue.. Otherwise love the game, have since its original PC release.

Great game

Maybe I'll Get To Play This Someday

I had the pre-update version, had played it for an hour or two, found it crashy and not intuitive but entertaining, intended to get back to it. When the update came out in the last few weeks, it was so huge that it wouldn't download (more than 3gb is enormous for an iPad app; most apps update that amount of material from within the app itself, using it as a shell for new data). I deleted the previous version in the hope that my problem was that there was only about a gb of space left on my tablet (my bad, but there was nothing else I was willing/able to temporarily delete), but I was still unable to download and install the new version. iTunes no longer allows side-loading a PC download of an app to ameliorate this issue, so I seem to be out of luck for now. Update: I appreciate the offer of investigation/assistance, but I fixed the issue myself and updated my review! It required a hard erase-and-reset of my iPad, which isn't that bad with an iCloud backup. I did it for other reasons than to get this particular app working, but it does seem to have solved the problem and allowed me to download the updated version. The information might help anyone else who's having a similar problem.

Bug

Spell sequencers bug, they can get dropped and made unusable and won’t allow new ones to be made. Maybe build in a delete option like the contingency spells have. Otherwise awesome game.

Great game!
