Congrats! It's a great feeling. What was your character and who was in your party?

Hey, wow! Congratulations! (Also, green with envy, since you only ever get one first-time win.)

Yes indeed, it's a big game. As you've discovered, it's perfectly possible to complete the game without exploring everywhere (and in fact, you can miss out the majority of the territory), but a completionist run in which you explore every corner and do every quest is a very long game.

Now on to SoD!

Thank ill use wild mage. But since ill finish this game my exp just 161000 and is never up. Even ill play new game is still same xp, do u know what wrong?

BG1 has an XP cap of 161000, so technically you can get more XP but you'll never level up after reaching that cap. And congratulations on your first playthrough!

Thank you @Doubledimas for info

Now you can continue that character into Siege of Dragonspear and Baldur's Gate II.

Also, when you get into mods, the xp cap remover is one of the easiest to use.

I remember finishing it for the first time with a 60.000 xp party who hasn't even reached the xp cap and many unexplored places. But that's the fun of starting a new game.

I somehow didn't even hear about bg until bg2 was coming out. So, I bought bg, played that all the way through a couple of times, bought totsc, played that through a couple of times, then jumped right into bg2. I've always felt that I missed out on a good couple of years of enjoyment of bg1, now's a good time to correct that!

I still vividly remember getting BG1. I went to my family Christmas gathering-thing we do (we combine Thanksgiving and Christmas into one for ease of travel and do on a random weekend in December to save money on travel) and my cousin was raving about this new game he'd gotten called Baldur's Gate. I was in 6th grade. My grandma always just gave me cash as a gift - so I demanded that we go to ON-CUE the only store in the town that was likely to have any new video games. It was snowing big heavy flakes. I got the game, and ripped open the box and set to reading the manual - which has portions of it written by none other than Volo or course. So I was all set 100% ready to go CRAZY playing this game nonstop.

Then a miracle occurred. We got the largest blizzard in over 25 years that night. Not only were the last 2 weeks before Christmas Break cancelled, but the blizzard actually looped back around and hit us again after New Years and I was out of school for a solid month + 1 week. To make it even better, the power never even went out. So I got to dedicate 8+ hours a day to Baldur's Gate.

Every winter I have to replay the game lol.

Finished it also didn't explore all the other stuff but it was a tough fight in the end XD i was under equipped and under prepared and had to fog of war fireballs most of the times xD. Second Run is more explore and get exp now.
