Baldur's Gate 3 is a staggering CRPG that feels like it's on its way to becoming a foundational video game.
Baldur's Gate 3 MSRP $60.00 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “Baldur's Gate 3 is a staggering CRPG with a level of player freedom that make its possibilities feel endless.” Pros Cons After pouring over 150 hours into Baldur’s Gate 3, I can’t wait to start all over.
All characters that you can speak to, especially the origin characters, are beautifully voice-acted, as well as motion-captured by the actors themselves. Everyone oozes with personality and personal ticks and quirks that make them so believable and alive. Each of them has their own reasons why they stick together, and it is up to the players to find out who they really are.
That premise blossoms out to a variety of factions of varying trustworthiness, new major characters popping in and out in each act, and some deep philosophical conundrums. The layers can feel overwhelming at times, but many of them are strongly connected to fantasy archetypes that make them easier to grasp if you have a basic understanding of the genre and its storytelling tricks.
It all comes to a head in a sweeping final chapter that brings in even more layers in. There were many times I was out following one quest and I bumped into two other quests I was going to do later, all the while accidentally completing another quest that I hadn’t even known I started. It can feel overwhelming, but it’s also where Baldur’s Gate 3 is at its most rewarding.
Roll for initiative Baldur’s Gate 3 uses the rules of Dungeons & Dragons to build out the core combat and skill checks. It’s not a complete mirror of the tabletop game, but it is one of the closest I have seen that still understands that it is a video game. Some tweaks have to be made in order for some of these classes to feel better with a mouse and keyboard instead of dice. This means that any class you choose will have a variety of options for you in and out of combat.
