In my Honour Mode playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3, I romanced Gale—you can see my full thoughts on our under-appreciated wizard boy here. What solidified him as one of my all-time RPG romances, however, wasn't his wit or his very nice hair. …
Mark Darrah was a programmer on the original Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2, along with Neverwinter Nights and Jade Empire, and served as executive producer of the Dragon Age series from Origins through Inquisition before leaving in 2020…
Baldur's Gate 3 is known for being, well, smutty—so much so that when the game first came out, we were in fierce, rigorous, masterful debates over it (stop giggling). The game has a lot of sensual scenes, but it also comes with a streamer-f…
Baldur's Gate 3's official livestream was axed midway through on YouTube, as the platform's nudity policy kicked in a little too hard. Read the full story on PCGamesN: Baldur's Gate 3's official livestream gets banned on YouTube and TikTok.…
The amount of time I spend thinking about aspect ratios would potentially be a cause for concern if it wasn't, admittedly, an unquestionably dull thing to think about for most people. Yet I continue to do so as the way we choose to frame an…
Культовая ролевая игра Baldur’s Gate 3 от Larian Studios внезапно стала частью программы Xbox Play Anywhere. Эта система позволяет получить доступ к единожды приобретённой цифровой игре как на консолях Xbox, так и на ПК под управлением Wind…
Baldur's Gate 3 is—my god—three years old at this point, but it continues to do numbers. I don't mean player numbers, though god knows it keeps doing those too, I mean that it keeps generating stats. How many deaths, how many murders, how m…
I hated Baldur's Gate 3 on my first run, but if you, like me, struggled to gel with Larian's epic, here's why you need to return to Faerûn. Read the full story on PCGamesN: If you bounced off Baldur's Gate 3: now is the time to try again
I'm not saying you've got to be making a vaguely Mass Effecty RPG starting with Ex to be considered as a successor to Larian on the Baldur's Gate series, but it certainly doesn't seem to hurt. Exodus devs Archetype Entertainment were offere…
I don't need to explain what Baldur's Gate 3 is since it's one of those games you hear about endlessly, whether you want to or not, because it remains a universally acclaimed phenomenon. PC Gamer's Fraser Brown gave it our highest score eve…
Sometimes I understand why modders flame out, burn their bridges, and give up entirely. Every time I look at a posts page on Nexus Mods, for instance. A perfect example of this has been the reaction to Relysia's True Third-Person Camera mod…
Two Baldur's Gate 3 players have been killing every NPC, and Larian CEO Swen Vincke is impressed by their in-game chaos. Don't try this IRL. Read the full story on PCGamesN: Two Baldur's Gate 3 players are trying to kill every NPC and stuff…
In a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, prolific actor J.K. Simmons dove into his relationship with the games he's acted in. While not much of a gamer himself, the script for Portal 2 (where Simmons voiced Aperture founder…
Video game cameras are often a point of contention primarily because a bad one can completely disorient you, or even outright make you feel sick. These are worthwhile things to consider, but I do wish there was more of a discussion around t…
Larian Studios has reiterated that it is fully, 100%, without a doubt, donezo in the bunzo when it comes to new Baldur's Gate-related projects. It's latest statement was in response to a Dark Horse comics announcement that could have been i…
CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate without a bird's-eye view camera sure sounds wrong, but it feels so right. If you're looking for something a little more Dragon Age and less Divinity for your next replay, Modder Relysia has gone and stuck …
Whilst the game's current camera angle is certainly perfect for combat, sometimes you just want to be able to properly experience Faerûn. Read the full story on PCGamesN: Baldur's Gate 3 has a brand new camera mode that lets you get a lot c…
Two years after boasting about how hard it was going on videogames, Hasbro has recorded a "$56 million non-cash impairment" in its second-quarter financial report, arising from the cancellation of several games in development that were expe…
There are, somehow, those of us who still haven't played the hit 2023 RPG Baldur's Gate 3, and I know that because someone asked My Chemical Romance front man Gerard Way at a recent concert... Read more.
Warning: Spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 lie ahead. Shagging Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3 might say various things about your taste in blokes, but it's understandably the way a lot of folks go. Not everyone's got the nerve to admit that they wa…
Поскольку Larian Studios отказалась заниматься созданием Baldur's Gate 4, владеющая издательством Wizards of the Coast компания Hasbro находится сейчас в активном поиске готовых взяться за столь амбициозный проект разработчиков.
Larian didn't want to make Baldur's Gate 4, BioWare veteran James Ohlen didn't want to make Baldur's Gate 4, so who's going to make it? I'm not going to answer that question, not just because I don't have a clue, but because I'm starting to…

fter the stratospheric success of Baldur's Gate 3, Hasbro was naturally keen for a follow-up. The only problem? Larian wasn't interested in doing Baldur's Gate 4. And it turns out the second person Hasbro asked didn't want the job either...…
Late last year, the modders behind an ambitious Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign mod called Path to Menzoberranzan pencilled in plans to release a Nautiold-sized demo level during the first half of 2026. That timeline was settled on followin…

whopping six years ago, former features producer Andy Kelly and I had a big ol' fight. It was a respectful one, though, taking place exclusively in our respective articles regarding the news that Baldur's Gate 3 would feature turn-based bat…
Baldur's Gate 3 is a phenomenal game—noteworthy not just for being a very good RPG, but also several brilliant performances and a heck of a lot of mocapping. Having spoken to some of its cast myself in the past, I can speak to the thought a…
