Baldur's Gate 3 embraces the enriching abyss that is side content.
When it comes to open-world RPGs, I’ve come to learn that more side content doesn’t always equal a better gaming experience. A delicate balance between engaging side quests and the overarching main plot must be struck. That’s why when I heard that Baldur’s Gate 3 would be 50 hours for main-plot exclusive playthroughs and around 200 hours for the completionist, I had my reservations.
In fact, there’s not even a chance to get sidetracked by some random Ancient God’s lair for hours in the pursuit of a legendary weapon. I’m looking at you, Skyrim. In Baldur’s Gate 3, the legendary weapon’s location coincides with a companion’s quest – every narrative thread threads into the main story’s tapestry, staying relevant and enriching the world.
But then, the game decides you’ve had your share of unrelated side-quest fun. On your way back to the city, a near-death man implores a swift end, handing you a knife to end his suffering. And just as the urgency of grabbing the three netherstones to thwart the impending evil plot starts slipping your mind, enter Orin. She’s the shapeshifting bearer of the third nether stone, cunningly disguised.
