I haven’t played this Baldur’s Gate game yet, I will. Someone else will have to tell you if it’s using 5th or 6th edition rules. Bear in mind that BG has always been a really good [battle section] simulator for D&D. The storylines are always interesting, but there’s really no role-play, at least not like when playing with paper and dice. It should be a good primer for you though.
It’s not out yet and is generally considered to be more of a 5.5th ed since it’s been advertised as backwards compatible with 5th ed. Also I’ve been playing since 2nd ed AD&D so I’m certainly an old D&D nerd.

5th edition. Been in development too long to use 6th!
Oh well that’s good! The even numbered editions always seem to be the least popular rule sets
Second ed was great :)
I’m waiting for the THAC0 mod to come out for this before it becomes a real D&D experience.
For math geeks, yeah. Second edition wasn’t as popular as 1st and 3rd edition. Same for 4th with 3rd and 5th.
There is not a 6th edition of d&d yet
D&D One isn’t out yet? That’s what us old D&D nerds are referring to as 6th edition.
