Baldur’s Gate 3 has a touching tribute to a fan’s dad - and CRPG fan - living with Alzheimer's

Baldur’s Gate 3 is crammed full of memorable, moving stories.

It seems that there are some rather bizarre ways you can inadvertently get stuck during an uber-tough honour mode playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3, with one player having reported stumbling across one that’s caused by forgetting to pick up your hammer at the right time.
