You make it hard,
these games being real-time strategy while Baldurs Gate is roleplaying, but I'll give it a go...
first off forget Starcraft (who needs wussy laser cannons when you have fireballs and lightning bolts). Now, take one of the knights from Warcraft and pretend that you are that character; you control his inventory - what armor he wears, what weapon he uses (from puny daggers to magical halberds and two handed swords) and who he travels with - up to five extra companions, from dwarven clerics to elven mages to gnome illusionists to human thieves to... the list goes on.
It has a great storyline, fantastic quests along with everything that Lavindathar said... and it's no longer a full priced game (it'll be in your local bargain bin).
I fully recommend buying it, but then I would say that wouldn't I! hehe [img]smile.gif[/img]
