They don't really deserve the Baldurs Gate moniker if you ask me, but they're fine for multiplayer action nonetheless.

EDIT:
Uhh, sorry Luvian, but last time I checked the name "Baldurs Gate" just happened to be titles of two of the most successful and widely acclaimed cRPGS of all time. Thus it seems a little futile to attempt to reduce the meaning or association of the name to 'just a town'. Sure, this is just my own subjective opinion to value the two words in such a way. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the Dark Alliance games fell well short of the benchmark of the PC games and so too, the name Baldurs Gate by association alone.
Aye, the name means alot more now. And since the game isn't just based in one town it encompasses the whole feel of this series. "Sword Coast" doesn't have the same ring to it, nor does just "Forgotten Realms". I am secretly hoping Bioware are developing "Baldurs Gate Online" as another bash at the DDO MMO thing. Come to think of it DDO should have been called "Stormreach Online"...
