Baldur's Gate series

The Baldur's Gate series of computer games by BioWare Corp and the now defunct Black Isle Studios have become some of the most respected RPGs to date. Followed by a trilogy of novels that weren't received nearly as well, the games are still played by a large, devoted group. The modding community is also still fairly vibrant as are the official (and several unofficial) forums.
