But Dungeon Masters also don’t offer quick-saves, so your mileage may vary.) (This is the kind of thing that a good Dungeon Master would probably not do in the very first session, for the record. My first run in Baldur’s Gate III lasted approximately ten seconds, and I’m still torn between admiration for Larian’s commitment, and frustration for such a disproportionate punishment, so early on. I could not, and decided to drain it onto the floor, whereupon it promptly dissolved my flesh and killed me instantly. I made a skill check - complete with a rolling twenty-sided die animation - to see if I could recognize it. The very first thing I found was a pool of dubious goop. When the ship goes down, you have an opportunity to free yourself, explore the ship and escape from the Hell dimension in which you find yourself. I couldn’t help but admire how faithful Baldur’s Gate III feels to a tabletop experience - even when it’s sometimes to the game’s detriment.īaldur’s Gate III begins when your character finds him- or herself aboard an interdimensional nautilus ship controlled by the evil Mind Flayers - eldritch baddies who are pretty much what they sound like. Once I got into the actual game with a sword-and-shield Human Fighter, I had similarly split feelings.

What race and class do you need if you just want to swing a sword, or cast a fireball? Which skills complement which classes - or does it matter? This is also something that I expect to become a little more user-friendly in a later build, but if you’ve never thumbed through the D&D Player’s Handbook, expect a lot of trial and error here. There are thousands of possible build combinations, and unless you want to dive in with a pre-generated character, not much information to go on. While BGIII doesn’t offer every single option from the myriad D&D rulebooks, there’s enough here to keep all but the most battle-hardened grognards happy.Īt the same time, I’m a moderately experienced D&D 5e player, at best, and even I felt like I was in over my head. (There aren’t that many faces or voices yet, but I’m sure that more of these are on the way.) Much like creating a D&D character in the pencil-and-paper game, it’s a lot of fun to conceive of a character, then bring him or her to life.

Baldur’s Gate III has one of the most impressive character creation systems I’ve seen in an PC RPG, offering dozens of playable races, character backstories, class kits, hairstyles and more. When I got to the character creation menu, that was also a time-consuming process - albeit a much more fun one. The game is not optimized well for less-powerful systems, and finding a way to run the game at 30 frames per second required its own odyssey in the video menu. All told, the game eats up more than 80 GB, and the download speeds were painfully slow, which is odd for a game on Steam.

Almost as soon as I finished the 55 GB download, I found that there was yet another enormous update ready to go, that the developers suggested I download and install right away. Then, there was the process of getting it installed.
