Baldur's Gate 3 player finds an edge case the game doesn't account for: Reverse-pickpocketing a dead wizard into the devil's inventory like a Trojan nuke

Baldur's Gate 3 has choices—oodles of 'em. Choices that Larian's accounted for, for the most part. In my recent playthrough, instead of taking a certain character to a certain body for a story quest, I picked up the corpse and dumped it back in camp like a cat bringing their owner a dead bird. The dialogue still worked (though I had to have them in my party) besides one or two out-of-context lines...

Baldur's Gate 3 proves you don't need microtransactions to be GOTY

Baldur's Gate 3 was the biggest game of 2023 in terms of revenue and unit sales according to new data providing a breakdown of the market as part of a 2024 report. I've been talking about the Steam success of BG3 since it launched out of early access last year, but VG Insights now has some more, eye-opening, numbers.

Steam's best 2023 sellers include a couple of surprise indie hits

It's no secret that 2023 was a big year for games, but the top sellers on Steam for the year include a couple of surprise indie hits that managed to go toe to toe with the big boys.

What do you think the best selling game on Steam was in 2023? You'll only need one guess, but I'm not even going to give you the opportunity to do so, because it's Baldur's Gate 3. Who could have seen that coming! Literally everyone. This comes from industry analyst site Video Game Insights, who recently shared a report on the best selling and top earning games of 2023 on Steam - and yeah, Baldur's Gate 3 was the top earner too, you also won't be surprised to hear.

According to Video Game Insights, Baldur's Gate 3 earned $657 million in revenue last year, almost twice as much as the second place game Hogwarts Legacy, which apparently took in $341 million. As the report notes, though, third place went to Starfield at $235 million, "despite being heavily cannibalised by a day one Xbox Game Pass release and underwhelming launch reception." Other titles featured on the list won't surprise you that much, like Resident Evil 4 and EA Sports FC 24, but in ninth place is one of last year's later entries, and surprise indie hit, Lethal Company, which apparently made $52 million in revenue.

Keeping your Baldur's Gate 3 inventory under control is a game all of its own. While the Dungeons & Dragons RPG from Larian Studios handles most of its systems incredibly well, going through the sheer amount of stuff you can pack into your characters' pockets can be quite a time-consuming task. But fear not, as once again there's a helpful new BG3 mod, inspired by an early favorite, that makes the job much more manageable.
