Luckily, there are some mods that can bring it up to the modern era (or as close as possible) in a few subtle ways, making it feel like you’re playing a game that’s half its age.

Unfortunately, Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced Edition was released way before all of these, and still uses features that were standard in its time. Over the years there have been significant leaps and bounds in the realm of game design with ARPGs. The only thing it can’t do is make it feel like you’re playing on an old CRT monitor again. It was built with windscreen monitors in mind, so it should make the game fill your screen, whatever you’re using. It allows you you to play the game, and a number of others, at previously unsupported resolutions. It adds a collection of new portraits to the game that are lore friendly, meaning they fit in with those found in the game natively, and won’t stick out like a sore thumb like the obviously modded-in ones do. This mod is an addition - or alternative - to BG2 EE Portraits. They add a bit more detail to the standard portraits, and considering you’ll be staring at them for most of the game, they’re sorely needed. Some of them are NSFW, but you can pick and choose which ones you want, so there’s no need to have them all by default. This mod adds loads of new portraits to use in the game. Despite being a remastered version of the original, it still needs a bit of help to bring it up to standard. This first set of Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced Edition mods are all about making the game look great on modern machines. Hopefully, combined this will all be enough to keep you happy until the third mainline release. But we know that’s not enough, so here’s another list, this time of Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced Edition mods, which will make your next campaign a little different and far deeper. To help tide you over until the game is released, at least in early access, we’ve already provided you with a list of great mods for Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is well on its way to early access, making it hard for any fan of the series to think about anything else.
