In Summary
2023 has been absolutely insane with the quantity of games that have elevated the platform and Baldurs Gate 3 sits atop all of them. The sheer level of detail and ways your story can go creates so many different paths and water-cooler moments. As a prime example I went with a red Dragonborn paladin who chose the oaTh of justice, while my son chose a black Dragonborn with the oath of vengence and not only are our skills different, but how we encounter allies and enemies. It’s truly an awe-inspiring game and one I won’t stop playing for a long, long time.
