PvP is allowed if it is tied to role-playing but free PvP without any role-playing is allowed if a surfacer goes to the Underdark or an Underdark dweller goes to the surface without concealing face and skin with clothes.ģ. If you play on the surface, it is better keep your skeletons or other undead summons and other necromancy arts to yourself or you can get easily in trouble with priests, paladins and druids. If you begin as a drow, it is a good idea to learn at least some basic words of real D&D drow language and main information about their culture to be able to role-play properly. You can begin the game either on the surface in Baldur's Gate or in the Underdark as a drow, duergar, deep gnome or deep imaskari.

You can install a music pack from the original Baldur's Gate games to make the atmosphere even more perfect.Ģ. The game world has existed for many years and it is quite polished now but new maps are still added once in a while. Some maps have been recreated on the basis of the original Baldur's Gate maps. The journey from the surface to the Underdark or vice versa is so dangerous that no one usually survives it even if traveling as a group. There is also the Underdark, which is a whole world of its own. It extends from areas north of Baldur's Gate to regions as far south as Amn. The world covers the whole region which was in the original Baldur's Gate 1 game. It runs as a persistent world based on Neverwinter Nights 2 and is the most popular persistent world in addition to another persistent world called Dale Lands.ġ. Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 were my favourite PC games and this MMORPG style version captures some of their essence quite perfectly. In June I discovered an excellent MMORPG style version of Baldur's Gate and have been fully addicted to it ever since.

Posting this for DDO players who love old Baldur's Gate games or Dungeons & Dragons in general and like serious role-playing mixed with usual MMORPG xp/loot grinding.
