| | Balder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Norse Mythology, Balder (Old Norse Baldr, modern Icelandic Baldur, Balder is an anglicized form), the god of innocence, beauty, joy, purity, and peace, is Odin's second son. |

| | Norse Mythology -- Baldur's Death |
| | Not suspecting anything, Hödur went along with Loki. Mortally wounded, Baldur sank to the ground. The horrible prophecy of Wala had come true. Only Odin's word, that Baldur's death had been prophesied, protected Hödur from the immediate revenge of the Gods. He would be killed later, though, by Odin's son Valli. | | | And thus it will remain until Ragnarök, the Twilight of the Gods, the end of all things. | | | Baldur, the son of Frigga and Odin, was the most handsome and noble of all the Gods. Forever appearing in the form of a beautiful young man, he was the God of Light and Spring, of all things Right and Good, the best loved among all Aesir. |

| | Baldur's Gate (Mac review) |
| | Baldur's Gate is different in that there are dozens of people to talk to and just as many quests for you to undertake as you travel up and down The Sword Coast in the Forgotten Realms. | | | These people also add to the overall story that links all of the quests you'll be given along the way. | | | Baldur's Gate is different in that you are rewarded for talking to people and for how you decide to respond to them. |

| | There are also several new character classes, including the Monk, a contemplative warrior that can deal impressive amounts of damage with only his bare hands; the Sorcerer, a mage that can cast spells without first committing them to memory; and the Barbarian, a fierce berserker. | | | Bhaal, the Lord of Murder, anticipated his own death, and so fathered a horde of children, who were destined to carry on his legacy of destruction. | | | The protagonist has already affected the history of Faerun, as chronicled in Baldur's Gate by defeating the evil Sarevok, another child of Bhaal with aspirations to supplant his father. |

| | The game provided every RPG and AD&D fan alike a means to escape to the world of Faerun, an intricate world set in the Forgotten Realms setting. | | | For these very reasons, people wanted more of what Baldur's Gate was. | | | This is hardly a complaint, however, since I would much rather see them work on other aspects of the game than to have spent time refining some of the unimportant dialogue. |

| | Baldur's Gate's weakest feature is undoubtedly its presentation, which is arguably true of most RPGs that do not follow Square Enix's cinematic mold. | | | Sorrent's Baldur's Gate is set firmly within the Forgotten Realms continuum, and its largely peripheral intrigue will only be interesting to fans of the FR universe. | | | Not so in Sorrent's Baldur's Gate, where the Sorcerer class should be treated as a "hard" difficulty option. |

| | Your character is the child of a god, a very bad god, if you must know. | | | Just as there are those who claim that World War II should have officially started with the invasion of China by Japan, there will be those who claim that Fallout or Fallout 2 were the catalysts for our current revival. | | | If you have to ask "What's Baldur's Gate?," we have to ask "where have you been the past two years?" Baldur's Gate is going to be the game that will be marked as the beginning of the RPG renaissance that we are currently experiencing. |

| | Evil gods, giant spiders, murderous doppelgangers, flesh-eating ghouls, and wicked Zhentarim come to life in the action-packed novelization of the Baldur's Gate computer game form BioWare and Interplay. | | | What we have here is a very poor novel which takes place in a world where the places have the same names as that in Baldur's Gate, and the characters do but nothing else is even the same. | | | And I've had the feeling that, while the game probably had some plotline (it was acclaimed as one of the best CRPG of the time, so it had to), the book had none. |
