I never heard of Baldur's Gate, but the other day someone on lemmy recommended this playthrough of the game that was just released. I watched it and it's different from Skyrim etc, in that it has a way deeper story and is played slower. It's a bit like DnD apparently, which I don't know much about either.

Anyways, full recommendation!

No, dude. It is D&D. It's set in Forgotten Realms, follows the actual lore and uses the actual mechanics of the pen and paper game for all the dice rolling stuff (barring a few things that need tweaking for the medium and eschewing more meta rules that can only work in a PnP setting).

As a fan of both the original Baldur's Gate games and D&D in general, I have found BG3 to be the absolute pinnacle of the D&D CRPG subgenre. It lets you do so much more stuff than any other D&D game. I love it. It's been a while... The last D&D game that did as much as BG3 is doing now was Neverwinter Nights.
