ProfessorHatch Baldur's Gate 3 Review
Dec 4, 2024
Ah, Baldur's Gate 3, the game that finally answers the age-old question: "What if Dungeons & Dragons had a love child with a soap opera and raised it in a world where everyone's either trying to kill you or sleep with you?" Larian Studios has gifted us with a masterpiece of fantasy roleplay, where you can spend hours agonizing over dialogue choices, only to accidentally set yourself on fire with a misplaced fireball.
The game's attention to detail is staggering. You can lick mysterious substances, romance bears, and even play as four bears if that's your thing. Because nothing says "epic quest" like a quartet of ursine adventurers solving puzzles and seducing NPCs
The writing is so sharp you could shave a mind flayer with it. From vicious mockery spells that would make Shakespeare blush to interrupting amorous ogres and bugbears, BG3 proves that saving the world is hilarious business
Pros:
• Endless ways to accidentally kill your party
• Romantic options include actual monsters (and Astarion)
• Ability to solve problems by licking things
Cons:
• May cause severe sleep deprivation
• High risk of developing an unhealthy obsession with virtual dice rolls
• Potential to ruin all other RPGs for you forever
