A Spoiler-Free Primer on Baldur's Gate 3 | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 321

It's been clear for the past few years that Baldur's Gate 3 was going to be a special game for fans of the series and fans of Larian Studios, particularly after the success of Divinity: Original Sin 2. The more unpredictable part was how it managed to become a mainstream hit, becoming one of the biggest game launches in Steam history. In just a few weeks from now, Baldur's Gate 3 will make its debut to a new audience on PlayStation 5. This got me, Dustin, thinking. Surely many of you in the audience were like me: interested in the game due to its insane critical success, but also concerned since it's a style of RPG that you're not used to. I realized this was a perfect opportunity to do a primer episode about the game along with a series expert, our very own Lockmort! Lockmort's favorite game is Baldur's Gate 2, and he already has dozens of hours into the PC release of Baldur's Gate 3. So the intent of this episode is twofold: first, to answer the question, 'Should I check out Baldur's Gate 3 on PlayStation 5 despite my concerns?' and second, if you just want to hear Lock and me talk about how impressed we are with the game. A reminder that this conversation is spoiler-free, so there's no need to worry about ruining anything about the game. Please enjoy!
