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.
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.
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.
