The Enhanced Editions update BioWare’s nineties/early noughties classics - based on the tabletop rules for D&D’s second edition - with cross-platform multiplayer, a visual revamp with higher resolutions and widescreen, mod support, various gameplay fixes, brand new player classes, and the addition of both easier and harder difficulty levels.
Alongside the Enhanced Editions, Beamdog’s original Baldur’s Gate 1 expansion Siege of Dragonspear - the first new Baldur’s Gate game in over a decade, until the arrival ofBaldur’s Gate 3- is also included in the bundle, along with the smaller Faces of Good and Evil DLC, which adds additional character portraits.
Joining the Baldur’s Gates are the Enhanced Editions of fellow D&D CRPG classicsPlanescape: TormentandIcewind Dale, along with the Complete Adventures collection forNeverwinter Nights, which packs in the Enhanced Edition of BioWare’s similarly beloved Baldur’s Gate follow-up and six DLC adventures.

The minimum £9.29 pay-what-you-want price needed to grab five of the greatest PC RPGs ever made would already be a pretty sweet deal, but there’s a good bit more on top, too.
As well as those older classics, there’s a more modern CRPG in the form ofPathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Owlcat Games’ sequel toPathfinder: Kingmakerthat may as well be called “Baldur’s Gate 2, but Pathfinder” given that it’s based on the fantasy tabletop rival to D&D. (Pathfinder was originally built on D&D’s 3.5 ruleset, if you want an idea of how close the ties run.)
“If you - like me - lovedBaldur’s Gate2 to bits, you should be playing this game,” Natewrote back when it came out.

Like all Humble Bundles, a portion of your pay-what-you-want price will go towards charity. In this case, it’s Active Minds, a US nonprofit that supports mental health awareness and education for young adults. Bear in mind, though, that Humble’s default split favours the publishers and Humble itself over charities; you can slide things around to your liking under the ‘Adjust Donation’ tab.
TheRPG Legends: Baldur’s Gate & Beyond Humble Bundlewill run until August 16th. If you grab it fast enough (and your rolls are lucky enough), you might just be able to finish Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2before 3 comes out.
