A look back at the story so far for those getting ready to dive into fantasy RPG Baldur's Gate 3
Baldur’s Gate 3 is finally here, but the vast majority of you probably have no idea of the history and lore of the series. It has been more than 20 years since Baldur’s Gate 2 was released, which is practically a lifetime in the gaming world, but the long-awaited return of the D&D RPG series is back.
After Candlekeep is attacked and Gorion is killed, Gorion’s Ward searches for answers and makes their way to the city of Baldur’s Gate, where they uncover a conspiracy to topple the government of the city and stoke war with the neighbouring kingdom of Amn. The Ward is revealed to be a Bhaalspawn, one of the God of Murder’s offspring that he sired in the mortal realm before his death.
After rescuing Imoen and discovering that she too has the blood of Bhaal in her veins, she travels through the Underdark and to the elven city of Suldanessellar. Irenicus has taken over the city and is planning to drain the Tree of Life of its power. After a brief detour through Hell itself, the evil wizard is defeated and the realm is saved. At least until the next world-threatening crisis looms on the horizon.
The player character, which can be created using the more recent Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition rules, has been implanted with an illithid tadpole. These parasites are intended to enthrall and transform them into one of the most feared and dangerous creatures in D&D history – a mind flayer. Much of the initial chapters will revolve around how the player can prevent that from happening.
