Editing Baldur's Gate (Games) (section)

===Siege of Dragonspear===
This is not part of the original quadrilogy of games released by Bioware, but is instead an "interquel" to Baldur's Gate & Shadows of Amn created by Beamdog.

After the events of Baldur's Gate, you have become the hero of the titular city. So of course you are chosen to aid Baldur's Gate's army when Caelar Argent, a mad [[aasimar]] [[paladin]] on a mission to invade the Nine Hells of [[Baator]] begins leading a crusade that ravages the Sword's Coast, especially since it's rumored that she may also be a [[Bhaalspawn]]. And all the while, a mysterious hooded mage is spying on you, observing your efforts.

You eventually succeed in stopping the crusade, possibly even saving Caelar from the machinations of her treacherous right hand and getting her to help you undo some of the damage, but when you return, a murder you've been clumsily framed for, and the political machinations of the city's leaders, see you sent off into exile, with the same party you start the next game with.

It loses major points for the hamfisted ending, which relies on the idea of Baldur's Gate courts being skeptical of the idea that Gorion's Ward could have been mind-controlled into murdering somebody by an evil [[wizard]]... despite living in a world where A: wizards being able to control people is very common B: people '''know this happens''' C: Just Wizards capable of doing it are explicitly at least 0.5% of the population (more than doctors in the real world), to say nothing of the many other classes and magic items capable of doing. It just speaks of obviously wanting to shove "Drama!" into the story and being willing to ignore canon for the sake of it. There's also an NPC that exists purely to tell you they are trans and forces you to praise them ([[Adventure_Path#Wrath_of_the_Righteous|It's a recurring problem with this author]].).

Also, it actually creates a continuity snarl: if you talk to Imoen, Jaheira and Minsc in the original Shadows of Amn game, they make it clear that Gorion's Ward went missing ''first'' and then they all got together to try and locate their missing friend, rather than being grabbed whilst actively adventuring together.
