This is mostly a sequential walkthrough, which means that it will go in
the order that I think is a good one (not necessarily the best way to do
things, but one that worked well for me). Since a lot of elements in
Baldur's Gate can be done at any time, this presents a few problems. So
currently I have all the Major Plot points listed as Main Sections, with the
smaller areas as Sub-Sections. This works, but I'm not sure that it is the
best way to go about this.

i. Introduction [IINTRD]
Strange things are happening in the Sword Coast. The iron has gone bad,
every weapon forged with it is completely worthless. Bandits plague the
Coast stealing everything else that already isn't ruined. And people are
muttering that it is all the work of an outside interest bent on domination.
Some say that it is the Zhentarim, some say that it is the Amnish, although
they have troubles of their own.
Amidst all of this you have grown up in seclusion in the Candlekeep fortress,
a keep of knowledge. You have never known your parents, instead you were
raised by the Sage Gorion. You might have remained in this sheltered life
forever, had not fate played its hand. Because of the growing threat of evil
in the world, Gorion feels compelled to remove you from Candlekeep, and take
you to another hiding place where he will "explain everything".
And so it began...
Baldur's Gate is the latest in a long string of games set in the Forgotten
Realms. The game uses (for the most part) the AD&D rules to set the
gameplay. It also endeavors to create the sense that you are on an AD&D
quest yourself, and not just playing the game, but rather are in the game.
I orignally omitted information that I felt duplicated entries found in the
game manual. Since most people buying the game now won't get a manual, I
am attempting to add in more of this information.
