BioWare veteran says Baldur's Gate 3 was such a great sequel because it didn't try to be too much like Baldur's Gate 2

by Andy Chalk

Mark Darrah was a programmer on the original Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2, along with Neverwinter Nights and Jade Empire, and served as executive producer of the Dragon Age series from Origins through Inquisition before leaving in 2020—and coming back in 2023 to kick in on The Veilguard. He knows a thing or two about BioWare RPGs, in other words, and speaking to FRVR he said he also knows why Baldur's Gate 3 was such a great sequel—so great that it has overshadowed the games that came before it, made mounts of money, and is still among the most popular games on Steam three years after release...

Larian gets briefly kicked off YouTube, TikTok for demonic smut reasons in Baldur's Gate 3

by Harvey Randall

Baldur's Gate 3 is known for being, well, smutty—so much so that when the game first came out, we were in fierce, rigorous, masterful debates over it (stop giggling). The game has a lot of sensual scenes, but it also comes with a streamer-friendly mode to cover up all the jiblets and tatas... Read more.

Almost 10,000 people have played Baldur's Gate 3 in a portrait aspect ratio, so join me in figuring out why they'd commit such sacrilege

by

The amount of time I spend thinking about aspect ratios would potentially be a cause for concern if it wasn't, admittedly, an unquestionably dull thing to think about for most people. Yet I continue to do so as the way we choose to frame any kind of image is an important one, as there are all manner of connotations to such a choice. In video games, we're even sometimes able to make that choice thanks to the power of the fabled "options menu." As it turns out, 9008 people made the choice to play Baldur's Gate 3 in 9:16, i.e. in portrait mode, and I would so desperately love to talk to each and every one of them about this decision.

Larian drops new Baldur's Gate 3 stats and you're all monsters: More non-Durge players killed Alfira than Durge and, worst of all, 9,000 people played on portrait monitors

by Joshua Wolens

Baldur's Gate 3 is—my god—three years old at this point, but it continues to do numbers. I don't mean player numbers, though god knows it keeps doing those too, I mean that it keeps generating stats. How many deaths, how many murders, how many deployments of a weapon named "Poo-Scraper" in combat—that kind of thing... Read more.

If you bounced off Baldur's Gate 3: now is the time to try again

by editor@pcgamesn.com

I hated Baldur's Gate 3 on my first run, but if you, like me, struggled to gel with Larian's epic, here's why you need to return to Faerûn. Read the full story on PCGamesN: If you bounced off Baldur's Gate 3: now is the time to try again

Making Baldur’s Gate 4 would be "a great challenge" for Rogue Trader devs Owlcat, co-founder says, as the studio reiterate their commitment to CRPGs

by

I'm not saying you've got to be making a vaguely Mass Effecty RPG starting with Ex to be considered as a successor to Larian on the Baldur's Gate series, but it certainly doesn't seem to hurt. Exodus devs Archetype Entertainment were offered such a chance according to former studio head James Ohlen, and while The Expanse: Osiris Reborn devs Owlcat might not have been yet, their co-founder has said it would be a "great honour" if they were.

Baldur's Gate 3 is the cheapest it's ever been to celebrate its third anniversary

by Justin Wagner

I don't need to explain what Baldur's Gate 3 is since it's one of those games you hear about endlessly, whether you want to or not, because it remains a universally acclaimed phenomenon. PC Gamer's Fraser Brown gave it our highest score ever in his review, a positively covetable 97, and everyone I know who's played it did not stop once the credits rolled. But if you've yet to take the plunge, now might be a good time: it's the cheapest it's ever been on Steam... Read more.

The maker of the Baldur's Gate 3 over-the-shoulder camera mod has gone to great lengths to demonstrate it's not like other third-person viewpoint solutions

by Jody Macgregor

Sometimes I understand why modders flame out, burn their bridges, and give up entirely. Every time I look at a posts page on Nexus Mods, for instance. A perfect example of this has been the reaction to Relysia's True Third-Person Camera mod for Baldur's Gate 3, a labor of love that gives the traditionally birdseye CRPG an over-the-shoulder viewpoint...

J.K. Simmons hasn't played Baldur's Gate 3 or any of his games, but he loves Portal 2: 'I could have done the feature film, or the play, or whatever'

by Ted Litchfield

In a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, prolific actor J.K. Simmons dove into his relationship with the games he's acted in. While not much of a gamer himself, the script for Portal 2 (where Simmons voiced Aperture founder Cave Johnson) seems to have left its mark on the actor... Read more.

Larian once again reminds us it's 'not involved in any BG3-related projects' in response to Karlach comic reveal

by Ted Litchfield

Larian Studios has reiterated that it is fully, 100%, without a doubt, donezo in the bunzo when it comes to new Baldur's Gate-related projects. It's latest statement was in response to a Dark Horse comics announcement that could have been interpreted as implying the studio's involvement... Read more.

Modders finally got a high-quality third-person camera working in Baldur's Gate 3 for all you Dragon Age sickos

by Justin Wagner

CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate without a bird's-eye view camera sure sounds wrong, but it feels so right. If you're looking for something a little more Dragon Age and less Divinity for your next replay, Modder Relysia has gone and stuck an over-the-shoulder third-person camera in Baldur's Gate 3, uploading it to Nexus Mods last week, and it looks a lot better than you may expect...
