Any computer role-playing fan who was old enough to hold a mouse at the turn of the millennium knows that September 2025 marks an important anniversary for a true milestone in the genre: Baldur’s Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. Long before Larian Studios wooed fans with great tactical turn-based battles and snarky vampire thirst traps, developer BioWare changed the history of CRPGs, setting an example that is still influencing developers today. However, while Baldur’s Gate 2‘s contribution to the legacy of video games has been amply discussed, this anniversary is, for me, a chance to remind everyone that this is not just a great game, but an amazing Dungeons & Dragons experience as well.
