With that out of the way, the adventure begins, and upon arriving in Baldur’s Gate we find ourselves attacked and robbed by the new Thieves’ Guild, only escaping with our lives due to the city watch arriving.
You can forget your fancy character generator programs though as here you have a choice of three pre-set folk – Kromlech, a Dwarven fighter Vahn, a human archer and Adrianna, an Elven Sorceress. When you start the game, the first thing you have to decide is which character you are going to be. Now, what sort of game is Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, I hear you cry? Well, I’m glad you asked, as the answer is a real-time hack and slash action role player one that is played from a third person overhead/isometric viewpoint.
