After $90 million driven by Baldur's Gate 3, Hasbro says games will be "huge" for D&D and Larian's hit RPG is "just the first of several new video games" to come (www.gamesradar.com)

Baldur's Gate 3 is a "mega hit" that Hasbro expects to pay dividends for years

Its on my list, and I've played Solasta (loved it, but they level higher than BG3 does).

However, I think Pathfinder games do better Legendary adventures. The characters attain godlike strength in the end whereas D&D 5ed is not very good at that so far in the Video game space.

What ever happened to games like NeverWinter Nights where you could literally do a raid on the hells themselves or Neverwinter Nights 2 where you can make an attack on the God of the Dead's Domain.

Developers complain about how hard it its to do spells and powers past a certain level and yet their predecessors still found a way to do it even if they had to make certain limitations on them.

Still, I am glad to see BG3 a thing even if the characters are weak compared to the original ones from BG2.

A game of the scale of BG3 in the PF2E ruleset would be so fucking amazing.

Couldn't make those campaigns in the 5e ruleset, not well at least. Pathfinder and even older editions of dnd are much better designed.
