Baldur's Gate 3 has an interactive torture scene

Baldur's Gate 3 includes a sequence wherein players can choose from various torture methods as they attempt to extract information from a prisoner. The Larian RPG game has also been rated by the ESRB for nudity, violence, sexual content, and language, as the Baldur's Gate 3 release date draws near and we anticipate a return to the DnD world of the Forgotten Realms. If you thought the bear sex scene was a little risque, it seems that Baldur's Gate 3 has a lot more still to come.

All Baldur's Gate 3 bosses

Who are the Baldur's Gate 3 bosses? It's inevitable, really, that you'll come to whatever is at the top of the food chain in BG3, and fight it. You'll work your way up the ranks of goblins, fairies, bears, whatever, and eventually, there's a boss. These bosses are usually much more powerful than their minions and pose a much greater threat to your general well-being - but who are they, and maybe more importantly, what are they?

The Baldur's Gate 3 release date is agonizingly close, so close in fact that we've been re-reading our BG3 classes guide just to feel something. If you don't have a character in mind yet, check out the BG3 races guide, as that's one of the big early decisions in the creation process as soon as you start Baldur's Gate 3.

Nobody warned me about Baldur's Gate 3's grotesque opening cutscene

If you're a bit of a squeamish person like me, it won't take much to make your stomach churn. I screamed in John Wick 3 when Keanu Reeves stabbed a knife into some bloke's eye. I screamed again in John Wick 4 when one of the characters chopped their finger off. Knock it off, John Wick! Body horror has never been my forte—hell, even the relatively tame entrails cape in Diablo 4's opening cutscene made me feel a little funny...

I am beyond excited to infest Baldur's Gate 3 with an army of mushroom zombies straight out of The Last of Us

I've never really mucked around with Druids in D&D. Sure, shapeshifting is cool, but I don't want to be the one guy in the party who keeps having to remind his pals to recycle. It's too much responsibility. But after Larian revealed the final Druid subclass in its last Baldur's Gate 3 Panel From Hell, I became a convert. Walking around the Forgotten Realms as a biohazard with the ability to raise an army of fungal zombies? Yes, please...

Hey, D&D powergamers: I promise you'll have more fun if you don't min-max in Baldur's Gate 3

My Neverwinter Nights 2 character was unstoppable, and it was no accident. I plotted out my hero's build down to every attribute increase and feat, consulting exhaustive guides to the best class combinations, prestige class abilities, spells, and more. As my Sorcerer/Paladin/Divine Champion/Red Dragon Disciple reached the final war in the afterlife in the epic level Mask of the Betrayer expansion, and struck down a dark god entwined with his own soul in a couple of quick Smites from his crafted sword of ludicrous elemental damage, you know what I felt?..
