IGN are rating the top 100 best games of all times, across all genres and platforms. They're unveiling 10 new games every day, and the list is currently up to number 30. Baldur's Gate has been rated number 63, and here's IGNs reason why:

Why it Made the Top 100 List: Any CRPG player will tell you that there are a few games over the years that have distinguished themselves more than any others. While not all of them could make it on the list, there were a couple that could brook no discussion. Baldur's Gate was one of these. It managed to revive a dying breed of game and breathe a deep breath of fresh air into its lungs. With deep character creation and a gigantic story with more side quests than you could shake a very big stick at, this one has already secured a place in the annals of computer role playing game history.
