[edit] Plot

This article is about an element from the game Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, and so some content may not be canon.
Content published in computer role-playing games is considered canon unless it violates content already existing in some other Forgotten Realms publication. Furthermore, multiple endings in a game should be considered only quasi-canon since in almost all cases no one ending has been verified as canon, with exceptions. Should there be a need to discuss this further, please do so on this article's talk page.


The player must choose between one of three (or five) characters:

Vahn 
Human Arcane archer
Adrianna 
elven sorceress
Kromlech 
dwarven fighter
Drizzt Do'Urden 
drow ranger (Bonus character)

The game starts when the player character arrives in the city of Baldur's Gate, after a dangerous journey. Shortly after arrival the player is attacked and robbed, and is brought to an inn by guards to recover. There, the first hints about a great evil hiding in Baldur's Gate are revealed, and the player can choose to discover more.
