As a foundational fantasy Role-Playing Game (RPG) released in 1998, Baldur's Gate tasks you with creating a hero and exploring the Forgotten Realms' Sword Coast. The core loop involves real-time combat managed via tactical pausing, utilizing a modified AD&D 2nd Edition ruleset. You assemble a party to investigate an iron crisis while uncovering secrets about your own origins. Its distinctive feature is the Infinity Engine, which defined the look of subsequent isometric RPGs.
