But Baldur’s Gate 3 has shown me all the big and small ways I’ve been screwing up the mechanics of the game. My players and I have been having fun running through the Lost Mines of Phandelver-a low level starting adventure for Dungeons & Dragons. It’s teaching me the lore of the world and the rules of the game in a visceral way that it’s hard to get from just reading the source material. I’m using pre-written modules and the players and I are learning the rules as we go, but Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a boon for me.
I wasn’t allowed to play it growing up because my mother-I am serious here-bought into the satanic panic of the 1990s. I’ve run tabletop RPGs my whole life, but never Dungeons & Dragons. A few months ago, on a whim, I told my quarantine pod that I could run a Dungeons & Dragons game if they were interested. $60 is a lot of money for an unfinished game, but there’s a lot to love here for CRPG and Dungeons & Dragons fans alike.įor me, $60 was a small price to pay to learn so much about how Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition functions.
#Baldurs gate 3 combat Patch
It’s possible that a future patch will wipe out my progress and destroy this save entirely. It’s made me care less about failed skill rolls and missing parts of the story. In some ways, the early access nature has been freeing for me. I broke the camera a few times, cutscenes display with a watermark that reminds you it’s in early access, and during one cutscene my party stood around while text that read “cutscene pending” played across the bottom of the screen.
