Baldur's Gate 3 made headlines recently with the eye-catching claim that it has more than 170 hours of cinematics in th…

:"Baldur's Gate 3 has more cinematic dialogue than three times all three Lord of the Rings novels combined. It has 174 hours of cinematics, making it more than twice the length of every season of Game of Thrones combined."

I got the chance to talk to Larian boss Swen Vincke last week and I raised this with him. And as I understand it, players will not see anything like that on one playthrough. The overwhelming bulk of that number comes from permutations in the game. For every decision you make, and every short cinematic conversation you see linked to it, dozens more are recorded for the same moment that you won't see.

Vincke is referring to a section of the game he played in the city of Baldur's Gate, which constitutes the third and final act of the game, where he was the druid Jaheira, and the world reacted to her in a unique way.
