Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition Steam vs GOG

[ummaya]

I want to purchase Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. Can you tell me if there is any major differences between these two editions?

Another question. This is the first time that I will try to play Dual Class in any RPG. Can you direct me to a good guide for Dual Classing in Baldur's Gate II?

Thank you very much

Dont forget all the other versions. You can buy it on Ipad, Mobile, Switch. If you have a odd device chances are you can play it touch screen style on what you like best.

At GOG, "Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition includes the classic Baldur's Gate 2 Complete", which means (and provided that the shop page description is still accurate) you get the enhanced edition in addition to the ancient original game release.

Google or your favorite search engine finds several. Perhaps start with a clear and concise guide such as the following:
--> https://lilura1.blogspot.com/2019/01/The-Rules-of-Dual-Classing-A-Step-by-Step-Guide-to-Dual-Classing.html
And then skim over other guides in an attempt at verifying that you've understood the concept.

If you want to dual class. My personal recommendation is Swashbuckler level 10 than dual class to mage. 2 points in dual wield. 1 point scimitar and short swords. Focus on 100 points in Find Traps / Open Locks / Detect Illusion. As Mage 1 point dagger and dart. Most versatile and fun dual build in Baldur's Gate (plus it is totally OP of course). Thank me later :p

My advice for dual class is berserker--at least level 9--and mage. #When you achieve dual class you will be able to single handedly clear a whole cavern full of beholders, including elder orbs.

The best and absolutely hardest Dual class to roll up is Fighter dual to Druid. If you get it off, it is super strong. But here are soo many good builds. Be what you want, just remember to roll a human.

You need at least 15 in the "Prime Stats" for the class you want to dual into.

This means you can make a Fighter that has 10 STR, and be able to dual to mage if INT is at least 15. Druid has the hardest Stat requirements of the lot, as you need Charisma and Wisdom. Starting as Fighter you "need" decent STR, DEX and CON (this also ofc has effect once you are done dual classed and becomes the Bhaal Powerhouse..)

Ranger to Cleric can be fun, you get a decent fighty type cleric with access to the insane summon swam spells :)

Just note that you can't Dual Class *into* a subclass, only from one, so whilst you can go Swashbuckler->Mage you can't go Fighter->Swashbuckler.

GoG version doesnt get updated as quickly, they like to make sure their patches arent game breaking on release. Steam and the Beamdog client pretty well push out patches as soon as theyre available

I absolutely agree with you.
