Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

:Preliminary note: If the topic of any wiki article already exists in the original Baldur's Gate or is added by its expansion Tales of the Sword Coast, that article's intro section will not explicitly refer to the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, but instead will read as "(appears) in Baldur's Gate".

== Game Version ==
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition v2.0 was released on April 1st, 2016. Version 2.1 followed just two weeks later, on April 14, 2016, and version 2.2 the following month, on May 17, 2016.
The general consensus would seem to be that the version 2.0 release was premature, and that 2.1 and 2.2 were patches, not revisions. Be that as it may, v2.2 is stable, and while there are no earth-shattering changes, the game definitely feels and plays more 21st century than it did.
* Current version is 2.6.6 (May 2021) Its Patch info can be found here.
