Baldur’s Gate 3
Play it on: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S
Buy it from: Steam
Current goal: Restart the game and catch up to my old file
Truth be told, I’ve been a little jealous of everyone who’s fallen in love with Baldur’s Gate 3. It seems like it’s genuinely one of the best games ever, but I wouldn’t know since I’ve hardly played it. I’ve restarted it a few times across a few different platforms and I just can’t stick with it. Maybe it’s that I’m burnt out, but it’s absolutely impossible for me to conceive of sitting down anytime soon and sinking a hefty amount of time into anything, let alone Baldur’s Gate 3
However, as sure as the drop in the weather and the changing of the color of the leaves, the fall season always makes me crave a deep RPG to sink my teeth into while I melt into my couch or bed. As we get closer to the all-time best season of the year, I’m beginning to set out my plan of attack. Last year, the honor belonged to Cyberpunk 2077 and its wonderful expansion, Phantom Liberty. I think this year might be Baldur’s Gate 3’s chance to climb into my pantheon of autumnal dungeon crawls. I’ve already reinstalled it, so even if I don’t commit right now, I am committing to all 122 GBs that are sitting on my console at the moment. Considering how scuffed my last run was (Lae’zel is straight up dead) I might be due for a fresh new file. —Moises Taveras
