Mad Mod Recreates Baldur’s Gate in Neverwinter Nights 2

Speaking of EPIC releases, the fine folks over at Mad Mod have done what many fans thought the impossible: recreated the experience of Baldur's Gate in its entirety within the Neverwinter Nights 2 engine. According to fandom lore, ex-TimeGate-er Drew Rechner has been in pursuit of a 7 year quest to convert all of Baldur’s Gate (including expansion Tales of the Sword Coast) in Obsidian’s Neverwinter Nights 2 engine, and he’s finally succeeded.

“Baldur’s Gate: Reloaded is a fan-made tribute and remake of the original Baldur’s Gate using the Neverwinter Nights 2 engine. The project started in November of 2006 and has slowly progressed since then towards completion. Our team size has varied throughout the course of development from as many as 5 members to as little as 1 member.” Check out the trailer on YouTube.

Note: if you would like to play, you’ll need to have NWN2′s Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir expansions as well as the basic game version to play.
