Hi Folks!

I'm about to print the "Adventurer's Guide". But I found different versions in different locations.
1. inside the Steam directory.
2. via steam as link to "player manual".
3. here (https://www.baldursgate.com/)
And of course old ones @google.
1 and 2 differ.
2 and 3 seems to be identical.
But which version is actually the most "up to date"?

Same with "Sword Coast Survival Guide".
The Steam directory version differ (a lot) from the baldursgate.com version.

And what's the deal with "Mastering Melee and Magic" (found in steam directory)? At first sight, it seems to be similar to the "Adventurer's Guide". Are there any relations between them?


Is anyone familiar with the manuals? Does anyone know the "historic" backgrounds of the different versions? Which version would you recommend to print?

    I believe 2 and 3 are the new versions put out by Beamdog with the release of Siege of Dragonspear. They should be the most accurate. The version in the Steam directory is probably the old manual (I don't have the Steam version, and so can't check), which contains some inaccuracies and leaves out more information.

    Yea, the steam directory versions seems to be the oldest one.
    Thanks for your help! :)
