High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Baldur`s Gate II: Shadows of Amn is a computer role-playing game developed by BioWare and released on September 26, 2000. The game is the sequel to Baldur`s Gate, and, opening only a few months after the events of the earlier game, continues the story of the player character, whose unique heritage has now gained him the attention of a new personage, Jon Irenicus. Like Baldur`s Gate, the game is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting and is based on the Advanced Dungeons Dragons 2nd edition ruleset. The game uses BioWare`s Infinity Engine, used also in Baldur`s Gate, Black Isle`s Planescape: Torment, and Black Isle`s Icewind Dale series. It received critical acclaim upon its release; and has sold over 2 million units.
