I replayed the original Baldur’s Gate so many times I figured out how to solo it with just one character (hint: It requires stealing a very special cloak from a very special person). Boo is my copilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In college, I had a lot of fun playing D&D, too, and played both 2e and 3e. I would literally spend hours pouring over source material to plan out a character from levels 1 to 20 (prestige classes really complicated things for me, too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, with Baldur’s Gate 3 coming, I had to make a decision.. Do I abandon all hope and spend my life playing it over and over to review it, create guides, and more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is.. Sorta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t plan on reviewing BG3; Enough folks are covering it that I can safely say my opinion is not going to add much value here. I have been playing it in early access, and can safely say that if you have any interest in D&D, turn-based RPGs, tactical games and more, you should absolutely definitely play it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will, however, probably create a handful of guides for various builds later on down the road. I’m expecting the game to have some balancing tweaks post-launch, too, so I won’t be putting a huge amount of time into it early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arcane Trickster and Gloom Stalker are top of my list to mess with (of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, below are the release times (CST folks, the release time will be 10 AM August 3rd).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
