<P> For all editions, the game follows 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, licensed by Wizards of the Coast . The game features much of the same updated gameplay presented in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, give the same updated multiplayer, including cross platform multiplayer, which allows players from different platforms to play with each other . </P> <P> Major changes to the game's presentation include its higher resolution and widescreen viewing modes to enhance gameplay . The iPad and Android versions present a radical departure from the original interface, with the multitouch screen allowing for gestures that can result in zooming in and out . This is to allow for larger text and more focus on enhanced detail . Tablet versions also allow for users to swipe between screens, eliminating the use for tabs . Ex-Bioware employee and creative director for the enhanced edition Trent Oster said, "When I describe playing a Baldur's Gate combat scenario to someone, I use the analogy of a football playbook...When you think about Baldur's Gate in this light, the iPad makes so much sense . In fact, I think Baldur's Gate is almost the perfect game for the touch interface--it was just released a decade early ." </P> <P> Set in the Forgotten Realms continent of Faerûn, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition takes place in the nations of Amn and Tethyr . As with the original Enhanced Edition, all locations from the original production are present as well as new locations . Depending on the characters recruited, up to thirty new locations can be accessed . </P> <P> While the original characters of Baldur's Gate II return once again, the Enhanced Edition brings back the new characters introduced in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition - Neera the Wild Mage, Dorn Il - Khan the Blackguard, and Rasaad the Monk - who are once again recruitable, with two additional new characters, unique to Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition - Hexxat the Thief, and Wilson the Bear . Each, like before, have a personal character quest that sees the player travelling to new locations, both in Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal; the latter involves the characters bringing a close to their personal stories . Much like the previous game, all of new characters from Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition are once again available as romance options . </P>
