A lot of people that jumped on the Dungeons & Dragons bandwagon quite recently may not know that it wasn't Larian Studios that invented the city of Baldur's Gate. It's arguably one of the most iconic locations in the Forgotten Realms, though Baldur's Gate 3 is probably the best look we've ever had of it outside of standard D&D campaigns.
Thanks to the video game series, it's easy to create a clear picture of exactly what Baldur's Gate looks like, and that clear picture is what has helped a Cities: Skyline fan completely recreate the city in the game, albeit with a modern twist. First shared on the Baldur's Gate 3 subreddit, user Impossible_Active271 showed off their recreation with a number of side by side images from D&D sources and screenshots of Baldur's Gate 3.
There's quite a lot to go through in just the screenshots alone, as Impossible_Active271 somehow managed to fairly accurately recreate the Baldur's Gate map from above. Sweeping shots from the outside of the city and above even accurately recreate the time of day, making them even more identical, though they also share screenshots of certain landmarks within Baldur's Gate that elicit a chuckle....
