I can't think of anyways how they could have improved the port to a console control there is simply no way to truly replace mapped keys on a keyboard. I have gotten decent at the console controls but I think if I walk away from this game before a full play through it will not be be because I was bored or it was "too hard" it will be because of the controls. Please note I do not at all blame the company who ported it I think they did as good a job as you can given the circumstances.

As far as the multiplayer aspect of this bundle goes, so far there's nothing to report beyond the fact the main menu has a "multiplayer coming soon" placeholder. Beamdog says its hard at work on that element of these enhanced editions, so we're sure it'll turn up soon, but it's still something of a shame this hasn't been implemented for launch here. Going from the old school original mouse and keyboard controls to a modern controller setup (of the Switch) left me quite curious and even somewhat apprehensive to play this version. However, I am relieved to say that the conversion felt very intuitive! Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition supports the following languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Korean, Simplified ChineseIf it does, Baldur’s Gate 3 will be all the better for it. As Beamdog’s Switch port of the series’ first entry has shown me, throwing out the mouse and keyboard tradition that’s become so ingrained in computer RPGs can work wonders. Not only did it allow Beamdog to create a port that suited the controls of Nintendo’s handheld console, but it did so in a way that’s as appealing to new players as it is refreshing to old ones.

Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear supports the following languages: English, French, Italian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, UkrainianBaldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition brings you the classic RPG with fresh updates for modern adventurers. Customize your hero, recruit a party of brave allies, and explore the Sword Coast in your search for adventure, profit…and the truth. The enhanced edition includes: Baldur’s Gate 3 is the next major RPG from Larian Studios (the team behind the Divinity games). After watching a lengthy gameplay demo, I spoke with David Walgrave, the game’s senior producer, about whether it was even possible to make such a complex, beautiful experience run on the Switch. A few years ago, no one could have imagined massive role-playing games like The Witcher 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 making the jump to Switch. Certainly Nintendo’s micro console could never run games originally designed for powerful computers. And yet, thanks to porting houses like Saber Interactive and Blitworks, Switch versions were released in surprisingly fine shape. The truly fascinating part of Beamdog’s implementation is that it actually makes the game much faster to play. After just a few hours I’m sailing along on my adventure, much further along than I’ve been in past iterations of the game without putting in more hours. This is the best revamped control scheme for an entire genre since Firaxis released XCOM: Enemy Unknown in 2012. Combat can be tough, sluggish and hard to get your head around to begin with and the early stages are tough going
