“Forget what you know about games” Fan gives 5 tips that would never work in other games

earthpressnews

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a role-playing game that differs from more common games in many aspects. Especially players who are new to the genre can miss a lot simply because they don’t know about it. A fan is now giving tips because: what you know so far is of no use to you.

What is so different about Baldur’s Gate 3?

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 is based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. Much of the game’s content and rules come from Pen & Paper.
  • Unlike Diablo 4, for example, fights follow certain rules, but mechanics can also be deliberately avoided. Creativity is rewarded.
  • You even have to rethink when it comes to loot: Some of the most important items are not hidden in boxes and dungeons, but are just lying around, you just have to find them.

    • What are these tips? On Reddit, the user MaralDesa created a post that quickly garnered over 2,500 upvotes and hundreds of comments. There he advises: “Forget what video games have taught you,” you can’t use that in Baldur’s Gate 3.

    He lists 5 important tips that will help you in the game, especially if you are new to classic RPGs:

  • Loot is not only available in boxes, but everywhere. You can right-click to pick up an amazing amount of things, even crates themselves.
  • In many games, environmental items are unimportant. In Baldur’s Gate 3 you can interact with it and that can even become important: candles provide light, which is important for fights and hiding. Crates can be stacked to reach higher places. Chairs can be switches for secret doors.
  • Quests can’t really fail in Baldur’s Gate 3. They can only have different exits.
  • The design of the world matters. Corpses and animals are not just decoration. With the right spell you can talk to the creatures and get information or even quests and loot. Even every “unimportant” NPC has a story and you can trade with them.
  • What doesn’t work in other games works in Baldur’s Gate 3. If a hole is too small for you, use a shrinking spell. If you gave someone something, pickpocket it back. Gas blocking the way? Place a crate on the ventilation shaft.

    • Even everything that seems unimportant can be made important by you. Many objects could be thrown and improvised into weapons. Or you can use a well-aimed shot to cause objects hanging from the ceiling to fall or burn.

    A lot of things that don’t work in other games can be done in Baldur’s Gate 3. Even sex with a bear…

    “It’s going to be hard to put my gamer brain aside”

    In the community, fans thank you for the tips and add their own. For example, by pressing the Alt key you get hints about what you can interact with – but a lot would remain hidden. Anyone who has already played Divinity: Original Sin 2 knows such tricks.

    But it is always a change, even for veterans. The comments say: Even if you already know all this, it’s difficult to put your gamer brain aside and get involved in the game.

    A few more tips from MeinMMO, where we have some experts who have been playing such games for years:

  • There is no right or wrong”. Play how you want, but live with the consequences.
  • Is a fight too hard? Uses the environment. Even a dangerous witch will die if you push her down a bottomless hole.
  • time is important When you go to sleep, the world changes and what was there before may now be gone – or vice versa.

    • With 12 classes and the ability to combine classes, you have dozens of ways to approach the game. In theory, you could even do without fighting almost completely and make excuses or sneak through everywhere.

    Such peculiarities have made the role-playing genre special and popular among fans for many years. If you are interested in Baldur’s Gate 3, check out the other games of this type that are available on Steam:
