This is the Baldur's Gate series, the run of Dungeons & Dragons role-playing games set in the Forgotten Realms. The original (1998) and its sequel Shadows of Amn were landmarks of the genre, translating tabletop rules into sprawling, party-based adventures full of dialogue, companions, and consequence, with the isometric camera and real-time-with-pause combat that defined a whole school of computer RPGs. The Dark Alliance spin-offs reworked the world into console hack-and-slash action.
Decades later, Baldur's Gate III revived the name as a turn-based epic built on modern D&D rules, earning enormous acclaim for the freedom and reactivity of its storytelling. The throughline is the tabletop made digital: rules-deep adventuring where your choices, companions, and dice shape an unusually open story. A games-only series spanning two very different eras of the role-playing genre.
The Baldur's Gate series franchise spans 7 games in the CrossBinge catalog.
