Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition is an isometric medieval themed RPG. The god of murderers Baal, foreseeing his death, created for himself many descendants from mortal women. His offspring did not know that the blood of a dead dark god flowed in their veins, and that this blood could allow one of them to ascend to his father's throne and overthrow the usurper Cyric, becoming a new god. The main character is one of these children of Bhaal. In the first part of the game, he defeated his brother Sarevok, thereby ruining his plans to gain power and start a bloody war on the Sword Coast that would give him enough power to challenge Cyric. However, the fame gained by the winner of Sarevok attracted the attention of the powerful magician Irenicus, who captured the hero and his companions in order to use the power of the descendant of Bhaal for his own purposes.
