Using the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules set, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II features four new acts of hack-and-slash combat and powerful spell casting.

Each selected character can parlay the experience gained from combat into acquiring new feats and enhanced abilities over time.

1st, can't play it due to gamebreaking bugs making it so I can't access inventories 2nd, Scumbag publisher (Or whomever has this and the first game on steam) jacking up the price for the steam sale and leaving the price rised. Something that is ILLEGAL and is called Deceptive Pricing! Something that is ILLEGAL and violates antitrust statues in the US....
Unless you're nostalgia-blind there is no reason to play Dark Alliance I. This is because Dark Alliance II exists and it expands on the previous title in every way— more races/classes, more exotic foes, more scenic locations, a new crafting system, and it even recycles many hooks from the original plot. However, there is also no reason to play Dark...
One of my favourite games from childhood. The price is way to high tho for such an old game, should be 15$ tops! Runs extremely well on modern systems
