Baldurs Gate III

Baldurs+Gate+III

If your favorite hobby is playing video games then you’ve probably heard of a video game that’s been getting a lot of attention for a while now, called Baldur’s Gate III. This video game has been receiving a lot of love from players worldwide and even became the highest rated video game with a score overall of 97 on most review sites. Baldur’s Gate III is an action RPG game with almost little to no limitations on what your character’s personality can be during the story overtime. The game takes its system based off the popular tabletop game Dungeons and Dragons, so when performing most of your actions in the game it will roll a dice and based on if you get a lower number, higher number, or the exact number it wants to perform, your action will differentiate, and most choices that you make in game will impact how the story will be and how your relationship will be with all the characters you interact with. Baldur’s Gate offers many customizations–before starting your story you can be multiple races such as a human, orc, elf and many more, and there are also preset characters with their own backstories you can pick if you can’t decide on what to do during character customization. During the story you will eventually get more companions, and each action you perform will either improve or decrease your relationship with your companions. There are multiple companions with unique personalities and are all fun to have in your story. In most games you play as a good guy but in Baldur’s Gate you can align yourself as anything you want to be: you can be the typical hero of the story, or you can be a bad guy doing horrible acts to any character you meet, or you can do a little bit of both and be chaotic neutral. If you’re into gaming and haven’t given this game a try or taken a look at it I think you should see a bit of gameplay and decide whether this game’s for you or not.
