Baldur's Gate 3 is already a classic, one of those games we'll look back in a decade or two the same way we now look at the great titans of '90s and mid-2000s game development...

For everyone else, returning to the land of the living is but a revivify scroll away. This is a streamlining of D&D 5e (the system the game's built upon) and its resurrection mechanics—which typically require powerful magic that grows costlier and more advanced the longer the poor sod in question has been dead...

A far cry from the open-world RPGs saturated with merry little tasks that succeeded them, most CRPGs put you in a large-ish area that's utterly rammed with stuff. Dungeons, quests, dialogue, sewers—on average a CRPG's world is smaller, but by Mystra is it full...

No, really—while most of the places you delve into are dangerous, they're also abandoned and lost to the ravages of time. Why in the nine hells is there the arcane equivalent of a fully-functioning Glock in some chest in the deep wilderness?..

Over a billion dollars of their own money, in fact.

The mod set to launch a thousands AO3 ships is Baldur’s Village, which transports your favourite adventuring companions to the pastoral climes of Stardew’s farming towns. Read more Stardew Valley meets Baldur's Gate 3 in a mod that will let you hang out with your faves without the fear of a bad dice rollApr 28, 2024 - VG247Love Stardew Valley and Baldur's Gate 3? You might be interested in this currently in-development mod that brings Astarian and more to Pelican Town. Baldur's Gate 3 is obviously the game of 2023, and to be honest, might even be the game of 2024. And while it's a bit older, Stardew Valley sits in a similar boat of being a "forever game," so it makes perfect sense that someone would want to mod Baldur's Gate 3 characters into ConcernedApe's modern classic. That's exactly what XunHe1145 and their team of modders are setting out to do, with the appropriately named Baldur's Village project (thanks, PC Gamer). Describing the mod on Twitter, Xun wrote that they are "making a Stardew Valley mod that will include a new map and residents from Baldur's Gate 3. The characters we are currently working on include Astarion, Shadowheart, Gale and Halsin." As of right now, Astarion is the only dateable character, and will also have a unique romance plot, given the small size of the team, but they will try to make more of them dateable if they can. So far, they've managed to make an independent map, Baldur's Village itself, with four different styles of buildings. And there's even some excellent looking artwork of Astarian and Shadowheart too. Right now the aim is to have the mod out before the first anniversary of Baldur's Gate 3's full release, but it's also looking for support on translation duties - the team is made up of simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese speakers, so they'll be looking for volunteers to help translate it in the future. Read more The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cookApr 26, 2024 - PC GamerLike many at PC Gamer, I've been enjoying a healthy amount of Helldiving the last two months. Whether I'm shoulders-deep in pulped bug biomass or cowering beneath a storm of automaton energy bolts, Helldivers 2 has been a refreshing surprise. I expected Helldivers 2 to be good, but not "unforeseeable appeal that knocks out back-end servers and leaves players in a weeks-long login purgatory" good—similar to how I couldn't imagine Baldur's Gate 3 consuming the entire gaming consciousness for the tail end of last year...

In the wake of its massively successful self-published game, Larian hasn't been shy about pointing the finger at what it sees changing—and going wrong—in the games industry. Larian publishing director Michael Douse brought that same energy to a recent PC Gamer roundtable interview, confidently stating "marketing is dead" in a discussion with other prominent game developers...

Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't have a DM, however, so you can do whatever the hell you want—as Real-Business6593 on the game's subreddit has...

At the 2023 German Computer Game Awards—aka the Deutscher Computerspielpreis (DCP)—retro RPG Chained Echoes won Best German Game and a €100,000 endowment, and at this year's ceremony on April 18, the same honor and cash prize went to Everspace 2 and Hamburg-based developer Rockfish Games...

These games will build on the “sensibilities” of Baldur’s Gate 3 in being “immersive experiences shaped by your choices”, but by the sounds of things, they won’t be adaptations of anybody else's narrative or setting. Divinity: Original Sin 3? It’s the obvious call, but come now, free your mind. How about a kart racing game, Larian, or a banging old school mascot platformer? When are you going to make a platform game, Larian?

Developer Larian Studios has already confirmed its intent to move on from the Dungeons and Dragons RPG to create something different next, but that doesn't mean it's done quite yet, with BG3 patch 7 promising a packed roster of updates so voluminous that the team is intending to run a limited beta prior to its launch.
