Baldur's Gate 3
is a turn-based role-playing video game developed and published by
Larian Studios. This
is the third main installment in the Baldur's Gate series, based on the
tabletop role-playing system
Dungeons & Dragons. The game can be played both singleplayer and multiplayer, and you can
populate your adventuring party with other players, and/or a number of
existing companion non-player characters (NPCs). Each NPC come with
their own storylines and opinions, which might influence player choice
and how the story develops.
Baldur's Gate 3 has an extremely flexible storyline, where you can
eliminate or ignore almost every single NPC and still progress the
story. This can lead to wildly different routes for the story to go,
giving the players a real sense of their choices being meaningful. 248
voice and motion capture actors have been involved in bringing
individual personalities to the characters you interact with throughout
your journey.
The game has received critical acclaim for its narrative, game play and
player choice, even causing a
public discussion
among game developers who expressed concerns about it raising the bar to
an unrealistic level for other new games.
