It’s possible you’ve already played some of Baldur’s Gate 3, with Larian Studios having had their massive fantasy RPG in a successful early access for just under three years. It’s very good. But if you’re one of the many who haven’t, the premise is thus: an ancient evil has, as ancient evil is wont to do, arisen once more to threaten the great walled city of Baldur’s Gate, and by extension the surrounds, and by further extension the world and all the deep gnomes, elves and sexy demon wizards therein. Through happenstance and literal brainworms, you and the band of strange adventurers you meet in the first act are the only ones who can save the day. Don’t worry, you don’t need to remember or have played Baldur’s Gate 1 or 2. So. Off you go, then.
