Bugs

• Baldur's Gate (1998)
  This icon indicates content from the original Baldur's Gate campaign. The original Baldur's Gate uses a simple long sword animation for this scimitar. That was fixed in the original Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, being carried over to the subsequent Enhanced Editions.
