Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn is the sequel to Baldur's Gate, set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting and based on the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons rules. You find yourself between factions of good and evil, in a world of intrigue and fierce combat where steel and spell decide your fate. The game is a party-based role-playing game. You can import your character from the first game or create a new one, choosing a race, class and alignment. You recruit companions who join your party and talk to each other, and you control the whole group. Combat runs in real time and can be paused at any moment to give orders. Most of the story takes place in the nation of Amn, including its capital city of Athkatla, and in dungeons. Quests are tied to the characters in your party, with companion romances available. Higher-level characters can use stronghold and kit options and later dual or multiclass choices. Multiplayer lets several players share a game over a network.
