Baldur's Gate 3 | A Bittersweet Critique
Baldur's Gate 3 has established itself as a classic among role playing games, but I would argue it's not through its main story which seems lacking at times and overabundant with details that don't seem to connect with each other. Instead it has an incredible world building and a slew of memorable side quests, with top of the line dialogue writing. This game could have easily been three games, which is why I think some aspects are suffering, especially the villains who don't have enough room to develop. But the small moments and the incredible dialogue options make BG3 a true classic. 0:00 Intro 8:26 A sequel 19:21 Tieflings 26:27 The artifact 38:02 The Emperor 45:17 Villains 57:04 Darkus Gate References: Baldur’s Gate 3 Wiki. https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Crown_of_Karsus Borislav Slavov shares unheard version of Song of Balduran & his pitch for Down By the River | BAFTA.
