Description

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance casts you as one of three basic characters: an elf sorceress, a human archer, or a dwarf fighter. From there, you're set free inside a huge Dungeons & Dragons world replete with dungeons, forests, ice caves, and much more. Naturally, it's all filled to the brim with horrible monsters, wicked traps, treasures, and fabled magical weapons. As you go, you're constantly rewarded with new weaponry, new monsters to fight, and experience points you can put into your character stats to grow even more powerful. As one of the three characters, you must unravel the secrets of a dark, new Thieve's Guild backed by powerful mages.

Not the greatest of conversationalists. Most of the cut scenes are handled in the in-game engine. Thanks for the tip. After your introductory mugging, the town guards give you a warning. You don't have to really worry as time doesn't pass in Dark Alliance. Cam Clarke, Cleric voice for hire. Some quality voice acting appears in Dark Alliance...such as Fayed here, voice by Cam Clarke. For you, anything. Quests are obtained through conversations featuring detailed versions of the game's characters. Heroic Trio. You choices in Dark Alliance are somewhat limited as classes and races are pre-assigned. Electrifying. Spells look very pretty...whether or not their effective (like chain lightning here) or not. Making waves. Water effects have been one of the biggest advances in gaming graphics in the past few years. How would you like your kobold burger? The archer and dwarf can wade into battle without fear, but the sorceress has a few tricks up her sleeve as well...
