Raise your hand if you're one of the 368 who beat Baldur's Gate 3 in four days.
people beat the main quest in its first four days. A few of those players may include press members or content creators who had about a week headstart with the game, though Larian might not count those accounts. Considering BG3 has conservatively sold a few million copies by now, I'm amazed that number isn't higher.
At the same time, I'm also a little surprised that number isn't lower—it must not be that hard to stick to the main quest if hundreds of people did it, but it may speak to the strength of Baldur's Gate 3's side stories that ~99% of players are taking it slow. I'd expect more people to speed through Starfield just to see what happens, for example.
Like my other favorite fantasy RPG, The Witcher 3, sidequests in BG3 are just as good than the main story. No disrespect to the Grove questline or the wild stuff that goes down at Moonrise Towers, but I'm forging my fondest memories fulfilling mundane requests for weirdos.
I wonder what BG3 was like for those 368 trailblazers—did they finish any of the fascinating companion quests that slowly develop throughout the game? Did they find that weird book with a creepy face that all my friends found and I somehow missed? I suppose it's possible. If they spent all 70 possible hours playing, that's probably enough time to finish a worthwhile playthrough, right?
If not, I guess that's what second playthroughs are for. I've already earmarked several Act 1 quests I never found for my next character, and I'm reallyPC Gamer NewsletterContact me with news and offers from other Future brands
