All the character classes (such as figher, ranger, thief, mage, sorcerer, cleric and so on) and other mechanics are derived from Dungeons & Dragons series as well.The gameplayMuch like it was in the games from D&D series, the players in Baldur\'s Gate II: Enhanced Edition embark on a journey, where they compose their teams of warriors, magicians and other classes to aid them in battles against the fiercest of monsters and other enemies. The combat remains the same as in Baldur\'s Gate: Shadows of Amn, which means real-time battles which can be paused though in order to give commands to our companions.As for the list of characters, this version of the game brings back Neera the Wild Mage, Dorn Il-Khan the Blackguard, and Rasaad the Monk, known from Baldur\'s Gate: Enhanced Edition.
