Hi. BG was not only my first computer RPG, but it was my first video game. I had a tough time learning to play it at first, but it got easy after a bit of experimentation.

Here's a good game guide that describes all the areas of the game without telling you what to do. It's what I used to familiarize myself with how the game works. It really made the game enjoyable for me.

Or, you can download the same guide in PDF format here:

It's really very helpful with getting you acclimated to playing and has some tips on how to find things you'de never find otherwise.

Good luck and welcome to the board! You'll find a lot of really interesting and helpful people here.
