How intertwined are the Baldur's Gate games?

But everyone knows you can't delay justice's mighty fist.

One of my favourite RPGs. It's good to see you're going for the full game, rather than starting at two

I finished the Nashkel Mine arc and figured I go exploring for a little bit. My team is the hero, Shar-Teel, Minsc, Dynahier, and Branwen at LV2 and Imoen at LV3. So I was starting to feel good about not dieing every couple of steps. But why for the love of god can't the north decide what disc it's on!? But other than changing disks with every area, this game is great. I wish I didn't wait to so long to play them.

I'm pretty sure the game was re-released on DVD to atone for the problem. I used to know how it worked. Each quadrant or so was a disc, or something like that
