Hello and welcome to Lord Fenton Gaming plays Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced Edition. I am your host Lord Fenton. In this Don’t Panic series, the game I am going to touch up is Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced Edition. The Baldur’s Gate 2 is my all time favorite and I am proud to give everyone a new player guide on this wonderful game. In Baldur’s Gate 2 you start off being kidnapped in a prison. Your wondering I am in a prison and the dude who sounds like Evil from Time Bandit torturing me what do I do? Do not panic, my Baldur’s Gate 2 New Player Guide will help. I will go over somewhat briefly the class system, touch up on THAC0 and what it is, look for out romances, Strongholds for classes and why the Shaman Class cannot get one and more. Watch my Don’t Panic Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced Edition New Player Guide and get beyond the new player stage. As always like, comment and subscribe to my channel for more DnD Content like this.

About The Author
Superb dear! Great guide thank you for sharing dear I left a thumbs up
great game play
I’d go with a summoner class for sure. Because I like Lucifers Call “SMT 3 Nocturne” so much and that’s basically all you do. Except you’re actually powerful too.
How does THAC0 work???
I never played baldurs gate 1 so can I start playing b gate 2?
And im playing on my phone
2 decades since release, still going strong!
Not to be mean, but you don't actually explain anything. You're going through the races and classes, and reading out load the text that's already on the screen. I can read that too, but was looking for someone to give context to what it means. Writing this comment cause you seem to spend a lot of time on this video, so wanted to give this feedback. Thanks for the effort though!
Baldur's 3 looked interesting so I figured I'd get acclimated to game, not even able to get past 1st steps in game UGH
Thanks for this video. I really needed this guide.
This game is currently on sale on Steam. Was thinking about getting it
I'm going to try and beat this game before BG3 comes out. Really happy with the Divinity team and I'm hoping I can get into this.
The combat seems really clunky or is it just me?
tried to love and enjoy BG2 before BG3, i just cant, feels like im in 1993…ill just hop straight into BG3 even if ive never played BG series before
You forgot to mention that Strength determines To-Hit chance with melee weapons and Dex gives bonus to hitting with ranged weapons. This is the most basic of basic stuff that everyone needs to know. You should prioritize this kind of important info and skip telling about Alignment or Speciality Mage Classes.
Trying this game again for the third time haha. There's spells in this game that I didn't know how to counter. There were some that caused my own party members to get confused and/or attack my own party. What would I need to get rid of that status effect?
Thanks
Im new to this game, should have bought the first one since its the continuous of the story unlike any games that had seperate protagonist in their sequels. But anyway, would you mind to recommend me a character race,ability and classes. Im really struggel to choose one since theres just too many of them.
what mods did you use
Can you dual class two wizard classes that are forbidden??
It never asked what difficulty I wanted in my game
Hello I Downloaded the gog version and my AI looks totally different. Also it wouldn't let me pick difficulty and I don't have those health bars over the characters heads. What's wrong w my game?
Ty for the video
How the fuck do actually do the combat stuff?!?! Fuck! I can’t cast a spell! It’s in my spell book but I don’t know how to cast it from there. The fuck kind of tutorial is this.
how the fuck do i walk in this game on mobile
Bruh….charisma is a dump stats XD
Thanks so much for helping me prepare to reexplore this game since childhood. Also 6:27 I laughed so hard, very accurate summation of what a diviner does : P
