It's the first of seven games that Amazon is giving away in March.
Forget free delivery on all your, I don't know, microSD cards and mass-produced pantaloons, the real benefit of Amazon Prime is the games the company hands out on itspage once a month. For anyone as hopelessly dedicated to 90s RPGs as me, next month's headline offering is a doozy: Prime subscribers can pick upThis is, you might surmise from the name, the gussied-up 2012 re-release of the original Baldur's Gate, which came out in 1998.
Unhelpfully, Amazon hasn't said what platform it'll be for, but last month's offering of Morrowind was a DRM-free GOG version. Hopefully the same is true of BG:EE. Steam tells me I have nearly 300 hours in the first Baldur's Gate, and I don't regret a second of it. While Baldur's Gate 2 draws most of the plaudits these days for the sprawling, fantastical adventure it sends you on, I've always had a soft spot for the more grounded nature of the first game.
I mean, I use the term 'grounded' loosely, this is still Dungeons and Dragons, but where the second game is a high-level campaign that sees you battling dragons and demons, BG1 starts you off at an eminently-killable level 1 and tasks you with unravelling a multi-layered economic conspiracy. Your two quests—finding out why someone wants you dead and why all the iron on the sword coast eventually rots and breaks—merge to tell a story that's both personal and political.
