Here's our comprehensive Baldur's Gate 3 review that covers how Larian Studios' interwoven systems bring the D&D Forgotten Realms to life.
. All that effort for the game to start with a sharp-fanged tadpole entering your eye in a disturbing first-person view.
Despite Baldur’s Gate 3 being such a dialogue-heavy game, there’s a lot of worldbuilding that happens in ancient tomes, torn notes, and environmental cues. Being able to speak to animals or interrogate corpses can change a quest’s context entirely. So does conjuring a cat illusion to confuse ghosts or smooth-talking your way into godhood.
Vulnerable moments between characters that I would have brushed off as inconsistent as a child now feel real with the weight of adulthood. Excellent voice acting from even supposed throwaway characters gives their performances gravity and purpose. Despite that, there were times when the game’s romances felt like they gave in to fanservice and prioritized player agency over the companions’ motives. It’s a minor gripe that didn’t impact the rest of the game for me.
Back with the hyenas, the Hypnotic Pattern spell has a higher chance of working on beings with less Wisdom. It’s a great feeling when thought-out experiments pay off. And even when they fail, there’s usually a way out of it without reverting to the last save. Unless you drink the Sleep potion instead of throwing it on an enemy Drow ranger, I suppose.Baldur’s Gate 3 features an incredible amount of hand-crafted environments built with choices in mind.
While I’m not one for min-maxing damage builds, every level-up offered an opportunity to dress up my characters in the most lethal builds known to Faerun. I quickly found myself scouring my spellcasters’ magic portfolio to find the most appropriate spells for any situation. And the genre-standard fear of levelling up the wrong way is solved by an NPC at your camp who respecs characters for a small fee.Quests retain much of Dungeons & Dragons’ whimsical and deranged charm.
