Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2 (DA2) could be described as a “mystery wrapped in an enigma,” because it attempts to replicate the basic gameplay of the original, while subtly including new elements intended to turn the franchise on its head, which is no mean feat considering the original Dark Alliance game was also accused of turning the Baldur’s Gate franchise on its head as it made the transition from PC to console gaming. For those of you unfamiliar with the Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance franchise, it is a widely popular series of Diablo-esque video games loosely based on the rules and world of Dungeons and Dragons.
