I played Baldur’s Gate III for like a third time but this time I actually recorded most of my gameplay. You can watch it on my channel but if you want to avoid unnecessary spoilers, watch my playlist below for highlights…
I would not be lying if I said I am enjoying this game. My three year contract has been ended and I have time to play. But hopefully I will finish it soon as it is eating into my other projects. I must say I still barely know what I am doing over there but my next playthrough will be pro. I promise! When I actually finish it, I will return to this post and publish it. This is because below you will find my BGIII highlights playlist that doesn’t contain many spoilers.
Baldur’s Gate III is a really good game with a very interesting grand narrative that the player is not initially aware of and your choices in the game, beginning with the character creation in the beginning affect how you will play the various encounters along the way. You basically peel away the secrets of this game in every playthrough and slowly become familiar with the story and the mechanics. At least I have it this way.
In this game it pays to side with the good side, unfortunately I don’t think an evil playthrough offers good enough options, or I am not playing the game alright. I have seen that only less that 10% of the players achieved the evil achievements on Steam. I am actually thinking of doing the Dark Urge as it is called in the game, and this time I will do it good. I normally side with the good side but I give preference to certain evil creatures too. I am also not always benevolent.
This game is woke, I mean in the sense of black hobbits woke. Like choose your own body type and genitals woke. And every male character that you can recruit is gay. In my sorcerer playthrough, Gale and Emperor wanted to hump me. Also, all the fighters in this game doing the hacking and slashing are female. I can kind of understand Lae’zel the Githyanki, who hails from a matriarchy outside Toril (the planet on which Baldur’s gate is located. The Githyanki reproduce asexually by laying eggs. And only the matriarch decides which female will reproduce. I have read some futurist that suggested something similar for humans (will write about it on this blog later). Karlach reminds me of a butch lesbian from my work. The only male fighter you can recruit is Minsc the Rashemi later in the game.
But given the way D&D has been going, we can be glad Baldur’s Gate turned out the way it did. D&D system presents another problem. Larian found it a challenge to implement the rules. In the game you can only reach level twelve but the amount of experience you can get would probably achieve few further levels. Apparently the higher levels were rather hard to implement for Larian to keep the game balanced. And the level cap is therefore understandable. But Act III without progressing your characters felt kinda weird to be honest.
In my opinion, D&D (or rather WoC and Hasbro) has been living off hype created by Stranger Things and Baldur’s Gate III. Meanwhile they churn out virtue signalling solidarity with the Trans community. Like anyone cares at this point. Wanna be trans, be trans, why do we even need to know?
