The Story of the Game
The story of Baldur's Gate 3 takes place nearly a century after the second game. At the beginning of the story, because of the invasion of Faerûn, our main character is taken prisoner by the Mind Flayer race. This race has implanted a parasite in our character's brain that allows them to manipulate him. While our character is in the process of transforming into one of them, the flying ship Nautiloid it is in is attacked. As the ship was heavily damaged because of this attack, our character manages to escape from the capsule. At the end of this process, an inevitable accident occurs, and our character finds himself stranded on a shore. The adventure of our character starts from this point.
Gameplay Mechanics
Baldur's Gate 3 is a turn-based role-playing game. You will be greeted with a character creation screen for you to choose your character's race, appearance, and stats. At this point, you need to carefully choose which skills you want to build your character through. If you plan to play the game with brute force, you should keep your character's str stat high. However, if you want to play with a character that uses a knife or a bow, you should prioritize the dex stat. At this point, you will notice that your character has charisma points. It allows you to get cheaper prices when shopping with NPCs or to persuade them.
In the gameplay part of the game, there are consumable goods, attack abilities, and spells. During gameplay, you must control your character with mouse clicks. You will have to enter fights at certain points in the game. What you should not forget is that your character has a certain action point at each turn. Your character will perform most of the movements you travel in the world of the game in a limited way. Actions such as jumping, moving, attacking, casting spells, and using items during battle consume Action Points. In battles, you must roll the dice to determine the order in which the characters are played.
Recommendations About the Game
There is more detail in Baldur's Gate 3 than in classic role-playing games. For this reason, I recommend you explore the map you navigate during the game in detail. In certain areas, you can find valuables, unexpected quests, shortcuts, and treasures that will make it easier for you to navigate the map. A layered map system is used in turn-based role-playing games like Baldur's Gate 3. In other words, there may be a dungeon or treasure in the vertical or horizontal area of your character's location. So, make sure you look everywhere while playing the game!
