Baldur's Gate for Mac

Publisher's Description

From Graphic Simulations:

The player begins the game with one character. This character can be generated using any of the races, classes, and alignments allowed by ADVANCED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS. Up to five other adventurers may join the central character as the epic quest proceeds. The player starts in the glorious castle of Candlekeep, an orphan seeking self-knowledge. Although once a solid coastal fortress, Candlekeep is now a great library filled with endless dusty tomes and recluse sages. The player is led out of the keep by a mentor into the wilds of the Sword Coast, and the adventure begins... The game is fast paced: action is always happening in the battles. Seen from above in an isometric view, spell casters fire off fireballs with impressive smoke and thunderous explosions, generating real-time lighting effects across the ground and eliciting screams from injured characters. Bowmen shoot arrows that streak to their targets with a solid "thunk." Fighters race to the front lines and hew their way into the foe with their actual weapons and armor visibly donned by the characters on-screen. Thieves creep in the shadows and emerge to strike from behind.

What's new in this version:

  • "Larloch's Minor Drain" crash is fixed.
  • "Burning Wizard" crash is fixed.
  • Baldur now places correct modification dates on files copied into its disk cache. Previously the dates were four years in the future.
  • The "can't control created creatures" bug is fixed.
  • Some option settings weren't saved if the user quit via the Macintosh File / Quit menu choice instead of the in-game buttons.
  • The "character voice" problem is fixed. Both PC games and old Mac Baldur ... See all new features
