Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II (Prima's Official Strategy Guide)

I am writing this because I am now playing the game, and this strategy guide did not have what the cover claims it has. The cover says, "Maps Revealing Every Secret Area." But I am in Act III, and Skull Gorge has an Orc Cave with a secret area that is not in the guide. To learn how to access that area, I had to refer to a walkthrough posted at gamefaqs.com.Nevertheless I am giving this book 4 stars. This is because I do not recommend playing the game without a guide. You could follow the one at gamefaqs, but Prima's is much more colorful and you can have it right by your side without having to print out anything.Why do you need a guide? If you're a beginner, playing a Forgotten Realms roleplaying game for the first time, you can easily get into trouble by trying to develop a character without help. Even if you're experienced, you might want to feel confident that you can get through the game without becoming angry and frustrated. Having a good walkthrough at your side gives you that confidence.Prima's guide has many glossy illustrations and easy-to-read maps. So far for me, its most helpful features are the character guides and the Workshop section. The latter has been essential. The game itself fails to give me details that I want for making good magical items.

Great quality product

The book that I ordered was in new condetion, and I received itvery quickly. I am very pleased with mt purchase

Looks easy to follow, I have not yet started the game but I hate playing games without a guide on hand.

The first Baldur's Gate was much better. But this one did the job as well. These games came and went.

Not mine - I did not buy this

this strategy guide is great for those who are a bit video game challenged, like me. the best thing in it, as is in all stategy guides, are the maps. very helpful in gettin around places, and for findin treasure. the coolest part is when you're able to unlock the famous r.a. salvatore charachter, drizzt do'urden. he's soo awesome to play!!!

Great guide
