Baldur's Gate Wiki

With the release of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, v. 2.0 on April 1, 2016, Steam Achievements have become a part of the game for some users. Where "some users" refers to those who bought and play the game through Steam. Two subsequent revisions (2.1 and 2.2) saw only minor bug fixes to the achievement system. Achievements are also available for Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.

Spoiler Alert: Some of the achievements listed here are not documented in Steam's library entry for the game until you earn them. So if you want these achievements to remain hidden until then, as Beamdog, Helm, Ilmater and the other deities intended them to be, run away!
