Baldur's Gate is a computer role-playing game, set in the high fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms. It was originally developed by BioWare and published by Interplay in 1998.

In 1999 Interplay released the expansion pack Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, again developed by BioWare. The add-on introduces new areas, intended for high-level characters, but accessible already early in the main game. It mainly adds to Baldur's Gate, changes to the original game's contents are rare.

The release of a complete package followed in 2000, named Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga, which was later published by GOG.

Under the label of Overhaul Games, Beamdog developed the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, which was released for PC in 2012, first published by Atari, later by Beamdog themselves. The Enhanced Edition combines the original game with its expansion, transfers it to modern computer systems, e.g. regarding the visuals, fixes left-over bugs and adds new, cut or otherwise previously unreleased content.

If not explicitly mentioned otherwise: whenever the Baldur's Gate Wiki refers to the game Baldur's Gate, the complete package is meant. Content that only appears in specific editions is marked as such.
