Baldur’s Gate 3 Player Sets Up Explosive Tribute To “Absolute Masterpiece” Of A Game

Things can get heated in combat in Baldur’s Gate 3, and the AoE and targeting system in the game has resulted in many players missing their mark when excited, as it’s easy to misclick and select the wrong target. This isn’t a problem in most games, but the fact that the battlefield itself is such a potent weapon in Baldur’s Gate 3 means that accidents are bound to happen.

Baldur’s Gate 3 launched on PlayStation 5 this week following its PC release in August, and the tech experts at Digital Foundry have delivered their verdict.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is filled with Easter Eggs and tiny references to the greater Dungeons & Dragons 5E lore, which also extends to the game’s EULA, as fans have discovered a nod to the Warlock in the legal document. This makes sense, considering how Warlock’s are often bound by rules from their Patron, so they’re the perfect class to include in an EULA.

Baldur's Gate 3 is the gift that keeps on giving. Even aside from already-released and upcoming patches that are doing things like giving Karlach a new epilogue and restoring 1,500 lines of missing Minthara dialogue, there are still plenty of little secrets, references and easter eggs tucked away that people are still uncovering. The latest? The tattoos you can select as body art during character creation.

Larian Studios has gone on record to say the PS5 version of Baldur's Gate 3 will feature complete parity with the current PC edition when it launches early next month, and the RPG's first patch shares a glimpse at the updates there is to look forward to. Available to scroll through on the official Baldur's Gate 3 website, a frankly absurd list of over 1,000 bug fixes and changes can be viewed, and they'll all be there in the PS5 version too on 6th September 2023.

One thing that's almost immediately apparent in Baldur's Gate 3 is the quality of its character animations⁠—it's hard to pick just one example, but Lae'zel's freaky little head jerks as she rants about the ghaik definitely come to mind for me. It turns out, the way Larian managed that level of animation detail was with a ludicrous amount of targeted motion capture of the game's many voice actors.

Baldur’s Gate 3 players have discovered a book with chants that will be all too familiar to Dungeons & Dragons fans, as it has prayers to the Goddess of Luck, begging her not to let them roll any 1s. This is because the specter of Natural 1 hangs over Baldur’s Gate 3, with even the most innocuous roll potentially ending in disaster.

While Baldur’s Gate 3 has had plenty of stories surrounding its freeform gameplay and the creative ways players enjoy the game, one player has highlighted a cool feature involving their RGB and the hugely popular title.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has proven to be a playground for players, with its freeform approach to gameplay and clever use of D&D rules allowing players to do all kinds of unique builds and approaches to the game. For one player, that’s involved making a monk capable of blasting their way through enemies with ease, thanks to their incredible damage output.

Baldur’s Gate 3 players are doing all kinds of creative and wacky things during their playthrough, from unique builds to hilarious roleplay and everything in between. For one player, they let their intrusive thoughts take over and have gone on one of the biggest killing sprees we’ve seen so far.
