Baldur's Gate 3 gets GOTY nomination, but there's a big game missing

Baldur's Gate 3 is undoubtedly this year's best game in my opinion, and possibly even this decade's greatest, too. With The Game Awards 2023 nearing, the event just announced its nominees for this year's GOTY award. Unsurprisingly, Larian Studios' behemoth RPG is among those nominated, as are other banger games like Alan Wake 2. What is surprising though, is that Bethesda's interstellar entry, Starfield, didn't make the cut for Game of the Year.

Baldur's Gate 3's narrator reflects on how ADHD has shaped her voice acting career: 'When you think about it, [the recording booth] is the perfect environment'

I recently sat down for an interview with Amelia Tyler, the voice of Baldur's Gate 3's many, many lines of narration. We talked about the Dark Urge, her favourite lines, and scaring the crap out of carers at an old people's home (hypothetically).

Baldur's Gate 3 bear sex speedruns are finally here and already under an hour

If there’s one thing Baldur's Gate 3 has been good for since its release, aside from swallowing up players’ lives, it’s been bizarre speedruns, with the long-awaited Bear% category now being an actual thing.

Yes, that’s right, some members of BG3’s dedicated running community have finally managed to put together a fairly rapid route through the game that ends with Halsin’s infamous ursine romance encounter. Given they’ve recently been dealing with some uncertainty surrounding their favorite sex% run strategy following the game’s latest patch, quite frankly it’s a wonder any of them have had the time.

The Bear% gauntlet has been thrown down by runner Weedmoder, who’s just put out a 50 minute and 30 second-long run that currently stands as the fledgling category’s world record time. “Basically, the goal is to complete Halsin’s romance questline,” Weedmoder explains in a YouTube video of their run, “His romance questline is very long, requires you to go all the way to Act 3 and do a lot of extra stuff.”

Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke at Larian is a bit surprised that the colossal DnD RPG has been received so well in a year filled with stiff competition, mainly because the team "didn't compromise" on the vision it had for the game. With Tears of the Kingdom, Final Fantasy 16, Phantom Liberty, and Diablo 4 just some of the RPGs that could rival BG3 this year, the adventure in the Forgotten Realms still comes out on top.
