Baldur’s Gate 3 early access lets developers curate the D&D experience. Gamers all over the world who are engaged in the game right now still can’t get enough of it, and with this new development, it seems that Larian Studios “didn’t play it safe.”
Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access D&D Experience
The gaming director of Baldur’s Gate 3, Swen Vincke has stated that in a bid to create the Dungeons & Dragons experience of the game, it had to reportedly account for the chaos of every sort of player playing the game.
Vincke when speaking in a recent interview with the official D&D YouTube channel, explained that Larian Studios had to reportedly act as the dungeon master of Baldur’s Gate 3 in a bid to control the many player outcomes of the game and that the extensive early access program on the other hand was a huge help (via GamesRadar).
“It was very much the core of the game when we started working on it, because it had to be a Dungeon & Dragons experience,” Vincke stated, thus adding that it “is literally what you have at the tabletop. You come in as a game master and you don’t know what’s going to happen. You have an idea in your head but then chaos is going to take off and it’s going to go in all different kinds of directions than you expected, which is the fun part.”
The Core Mechanics of the Game
One of the core mechanics of the game is the freedom that it gives to the players in almost anything. The RPG as you should know is designed and crafted specifically for a host of choices, with consequences and branching paths, and Vincke has stated that Larian adapted for all expected and unexpected possibilities.
“There’s players that follow the critical path, and they’re happy because they get their really polished story experience,” he continued. “Then there’s the people that start killing the protagonist and antagonists instantly, and then are surprised that they can actually still continue playing. The story picks up and says ‘well, you did all this stuff, but here’s another protagonist for you to kill.'”
Baldur’s Gate 3 Team Didn’t Play It Safe
Vincke also added that the team “didn’t play it safe” and the early access period of the game which as you should know was released back in 2020 and was playable up until the official launch in the previous month helped the team a great deal to curate the D&D experience so it could “try to cover all eventualities and all permutations that come into it”.
“We apply that throughout the entire game,” he further explained. “We didn’t play it safe. We said we’ll take risks. We know they will probably find a way to break the game, but we have this system of rules that we have for ourselves that allows it to fall back in a way that you will always be able to finish it. As a player, you’ll know, ‘Hey, all the s**t that’s happening right now? That’s me. I did that. So I’m okay with it.'”
Baldur’s Gate 3 Availability
Baldur’s Gate 3 for those that don’t know is now available on PS5 and PC, and there is a pretty good chance that the RPG will be launching on Xbox Series X|S soon, maybe before December.
