(Demiath's Note: Since I get this question a lot, the increased resolution is a result of using G3's Widescreen Mod.)

It's probably been more than a decade since I last played more than the first few hours of BG1, and I had forgotten just how light-hearted and downright goofy the game can be. The dialogue constantly breaks the fourth wall in quite startling ways; such as NPCs complaining about them being "clicked" on, Jaheira's famous "omnipresent authority figure" line and much, much more along the same lines. Indeed, a lot of quirky minor characters seem to have been included solely for the fun of it - fan favorite Minsc being only the most prominent and blatantly bizarre of these additions. All of this fits rather well (in a decidedly self-referential way) with the typical pastoral fantasy settings and low-level adventuring of the actual gameplay, and as previously mentioned it's a much livelier experience overall than the somber epicness of BG1's slightly overrated sequel.

The battle in this particular video turned out to be quite tense, since a group of randomly encountered gnolls emerged seemingly out of nowhere and messed with my methodical approach, which quickly degenerated into a much more desperate attempt to simply get out alive.
