The BG3 to DnD pipeline (lemmy.world)

How many people do you know who got interested in the game because of BG3? I imagine I'm not the only one.

I've always had a passing interest in it but my only friend who plays lives 8 hours away. I did a one shot campaign while visiting him years ago but I was totally overwhelmed. Now that I've played BG3 I'm thinking about finding a local game shop to meet some players..

BG3 has taught me quite a bit about D&D but I wouldn’t play IRL because that’s a hell of a time commitment and I’m antisocial. I can totally see it getting lots of people to play tabletop rpgs though. I’ve already but 150 hours into it.

I beat it on normal (druid, Wyll, Lae'zel, and Shadowheart) now I'm replaying it on easy (dark urge paladin, Karlach, Gale, Astarion) to see their storylines. After im done with this I'm doing it again on hard mode with a proper team comp. Absolutely (hehe) loving it.

That's been my big hangup with dnd. Not the time commitment but the social aspect since I don't know anyone local.

I played once through already as a bard (shadow heart, karlach, and wyll in my party) because I wanted to RP as Edgin and it was a blast. But I really suck at action management and had to play on easy. My second time im playing a fighter and I still have to play on east but next playthrough I’ll do dark urge on normal since I’ll just kill people if I fail my rolls.

I found normal mode to be "just right" but I have a ton of experience with strategy games so I imagine that made it easier for me. The story had me just as hooked as the gameplay so if story mode is your jam, more power to you!

Dark Urge has been a wild ride so far. I planned on going Oathbreaker but I kept failing (well..succeeding?) rolls so now I'm walking into Act 2 having not broken my oath. Admittedly I've done some savescumming, though only for Urge-related choices
