Set in the popular 'Dungeons & Dragons'' Forgotten Realms universe, the long-awaited third installment in the 'Baldur's Gate' franchise is packed with promise and potential
February 27, 2020 1:00pmSwen Vincke explains the upcoming third installment of the popular RPG series' approach to crafting a virtual 'Dungeons & Dragons' campaign: "We give the player lots of agency in shaping how their adventure is going to evolve."' Forgotten Realms universe, the long-awaited third installment in theOn top of the solid foundation laid by its predecessors — arguably two of the most influential games in the role-playing genre —series.
This conundrum gives players the freedom to resist or embrace the evil growing inside them, fueling a delicate dynamic among party members who may possess different agendas. While all characters initially seem dedicated to finding a cure, for example, the vampire of the group is a bit too taken by his newfound ability to bathe in sunlight. This all feeds into the game's robust conversation system, impressively brought to life by full-performance capture and 1.
A big part of that accessibility is achieved by visually depicting the die, front and center, in the game's user-interface. Seeing it actually roll before you, as it decides your fate, injects each decision with a tense, almost tangible feel. This was especially evident when the demo's protagonist invited a goblin to shoot him point-blank in the chest with a crossbow, a request which luckily landed in his favor with a double-digit roll.
In fact, Vincke and his team of 250 developers, most of whom play the pen-and-paper version on the regular, have forgone the previous games' real-time combat in favor of a more tabletop-like approach to cracking orc skulls.
