Hey I just bought baldurs gate 2: enchanced Edition but I have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue which "game" I should play first there are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 3 of them to choose. please help :/

Baldurs Gate is obviously the first one, if you're interested in playing in order, start with that one. Siege of Dragonspear is a newly released prequel to bridge the space between game 1 and game 2. Shadows of Amn is part 2 (personally I suggest starting with that one in the case that you have never played any sort of game like this, otherwise start with part 1).

If you only bought BG II:
Start with "Shadows of Amn" ("Throne of Bhaal" is the continuation of the story of "Shadow of Amn").
"Black Pits" is just a standalone arena-mode. Not bad, but not related to the story and quite difficult.

If you want to play the whole series:
Baldurs Gate --> Siege of Dragonspear --> Baldurs Gate II (Shadows of Amn) --> Throne of Bhaal

I'd start with BG1, unless you are very familiar with D&D. BG2 starts you out at level 6 or something and totally swamps you with spells and magical items. Persoanlly I find low level D&D more fun where finding a simple magical item is exciting.
