Baldur’s Gate 3 is not just your average RPG. It’s a massive game that offers an astonishing 170 hours of cinematic content. To put that into perspective, that’s three times longer than the combined length of all three The Lord of the Rings novels. Even a long-running show like Game of Thrones falls short with a runtime of only 70 hours and 14 minutes.
With such an extensive amount of cinematic content, playing Baldur’s Gate 3 is like watching a TV series all on its own. Just to give you a comparison, The Simpsons has been on the air for 30 years, and if you were to binge-watch the entire series, it would only take up 271 hours of your time. The same goes for South Park, which would consume 162.5 hours if you binged all 26 seasons. Quite an enjoyable way to spend your time, don’t you think?
But the cinematics aren’t the only impressive aspect of the game. Larian Studios has incorporated a library of over 600 spells and actions for you to discover and utilize.
Speaking of gameplay, PC players will be pleased to know that Baldur’s Gate 3 will release four weeks early on August 3. However, PlayStation 5 players will have to wait a bit longer.
Originally slated for release on August 31, the PS5 version has been delayed to September 6 to ensure a smooth gameplay experience at a consistent 60 frames per second.
Baldur’s Gate 3 offers both single-player and cooperative multiplayer modes, where you have the freedom to create one or more characters and assemble a party alongside AI companions. Every decision you make throughout your journey will have the potential to shape your story, as the inhabitants of Faerun closely observe your actions, forming their own judgments. Prepare for a truly immersive experience where your in-game decisions can have far-reaching effects.
Your relationships with your companions will also be influenced by your choices, and you’ll have the opportunity to romance almost all of your camp companions. Depending on how you interact with them, you may encounter different romantic scenes for various characters during subsequent playthroughs.
Similar to real-life, relationships in Baldur’s Gate 3 will develop and evolve based on your actions. So be prepared to put in some effort to nurture these connections.
In a departure from previous titles in the series, the game features turn-based combat inspired by Larian’s renowned Divinity: Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin 2. However, the combat mechanics are based on the rules of D&D 5th Edition.
