Cross-platform multiplayer with Steam is supported.
Gather your party, and return to the Forgotten Realms in a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power.
Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you, drawn from a Mind Flayer parasite planted in your brain. Resist, and turn darkness against itself. Or embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil.
From the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes a next-generation RPG, set in the world of Dungeons and Dragons.
Choose from a wide selection of D&D races and classes, or play as an origin character with a hand-crafted background. Adventure, loot, battle and romance as you journey through the Forgotten Realms and beyond. Play alone, and select your companions carefully, or as a party of up to four in multiplayer.
Abducted, infected, lost. You are turning into a monster, but as the corruption inside you grows, so does your power. That power may help you to survive, but there will be a price to pay, and more than any ability, the bonds of trust that you build within your party could be your greatest strength. Caught in a conflict between devils, deities, and sinister otherworldly forces, you will determine the fate of the Forgotten Realms together.
Forged with the new Divinity 4.0 engine, Baldur’s Gate 3 gives you unprecedented freedom to explore, experiment, and interact with a world that reacts to your choices. A grand, cinematic narrative brings you closer to your characters than ever before, as you venture through our biggest world yet.
The Forgotten Realms are a vast, detailed and diverse world, and there are secrets to be discovered all around you -- verticality is a vital part of exploration. Sneak, dip, shove, climb, and jump as you journey from the depths of the Underdark to the glittering rooftops of the Upper City. How you survive, and the mark you leave on the world, is up to you.
allows you to combine your forces in combat, and split your party to follow your own quests and agendas. Concoct the perfect plan together… or introduce an element of chaos when your friends least expect it.
offer a hand-crafted experience, each with their own unique traits, agenda, and outlook on the world. Their stories intersect with the entire narrative, and your choices will determine whether those stories end in redemption, salvation, domination, or many other outcomes.
based on the D&D 5e ruleset. Team-based initiative, advantage & disadvantage, and roll modifiers join combat cameras, expanded environmental interactions, and a new fluidity in combat that rewards strategy and foresight.
through your choices, and the roll of the dice. No matter who you play, or what you roll, the world and its inhabitants will react to your story.
allows you to pause the world around you at any time even outside of combat. Whether you see an opportunity for a tactical advantage before combat begins, want to pull off a heist with pin-point precision, or need to escape a fiendish trap. Split your party, prepare ambushes, sneak in the darkness -- create your own luck!
I'm really excited by this early access !
As a player of D&D, it's really cool to play a Baldur's Gate game in the current lore setup, with a lot of reference to "Return to Avernum" campaign.
It's also nice to see that TTRPG mecanics are are recognizable even if smart changes have been made
So far, I completed patch 9 with my first character, a diplomatic sorcerer with a draconic bloodline.
Fun is the fundamental reason of videogames, and Baldur's Gate 3 excells from this point of view. Planning the liberation of slaves from foul-mouthed dwarves, goblins bickering among themselves, admiring the red dragons, being amazed by the character creation, getting in trouble and wondering with your companions what on earth is going on, the pleasure of defeating a dangerous boss, ambushing enemies with stealth after they had previously vanquished you, the dialogue options, enjoying the new spells and abilities you unlocked...all of this speaks in favour of BG3.
The poor developers, after creating many expectations, will be besieged with requests - more races! More classes! More! More! And if we want more of this game, it means that this game is good.
As for the complaints, I had a few crashes (I assume it's my computer's "fault"), but nothing unbearable.
Baldur's Gate 3 is a breath of fresh air, the kind of game we haven't got in ages!
It's Dragon Age: Origins or, if you will, Baldur's Gate - with modern graphics.
I dislike aspects of the combat and 5e D&D implementation but despite this the game is top tier and deserve GOTY status, to remind ourselves of what good games used to be!
The Good
* The content density is impressive. What initially felt like small maps turns out to be multi-layered with so many things going on that I keep being surprised and delighted!
* Exploration is really gratifying. There are numerous ways to find new areas and information that make the world feel large and alive.
* Both the main plot, companion development and 'world' events and quests are interesting and enjoyable.
* Turn-based combat for a turn-based system, finally.
* The voice acting and music is great!
The Neutral
* It's a Larion game, with Larion combat. If you like elemental surfaces, barrelmancy, being shoved off ledges and sneaking around the map for an hour to set up the ideal pre-emptive strike then well, that's expected.
If you don't you might have issues.
* The game significantly deviates from 5e D&D mechanics, in ways that break down into 3 categories;
- Engine or design limitations. Examples include the lack of true flight alongside superpowered jumping; Limited amount of Short Rests and altered spell and consumable durations.
- Larion combat support. Bonus actions to break CC, shove characters to their deaths, dip weapons in elemental surfaces or jump huge distances. Superpowered consumables and explosives.
- Changes to spells, abilities and classes that can't be justified by the previous points.
The Bad
* Inventory management needs work.
* Larion double down on what I consider the worst aspect of 5e D&D combat, its focus on overwhelming offense.
* As of the current patch there are plenty of annoying, though rarely gamebreaking, bugs. If you intend to binge the game then I suggest waiting a while.
