Let me just say that we touch upon the story of BG 1 & 2 in meaningful ways, there are returning characters and what happened in BG 1/2/tob leads to what happens into BG3. In a Reddit AMA (opens in new tab), Vincke said, "We really don’t want to spoil anything but we wouldn't call it Baldur’s Gate 3 if there wouldn't be a link. Though it's set years after the events of Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal and stars different characters, there will be a connection to the original games.
How does it connect to the previous games? Instead, they represent the much greater number of permutations in Baldur's Gate 3-there's more potential, more paths.
You're not going to see all of these encounters and conversations all in a single run, of course. Number of spells/actions: 69 in DOS2 EA vs.Number of characters: 142 in DOS2 EA vs.Number of English dialogue lines: 17,600 in DOS2 EA vs.Number of combat encounters: 22 in DOS2 EA vs.These numbers are out of date since even more has been added since, but they show the difference in scope between the state of the two games at their respective Early Access launches. Larian shared some stats, and Baldur's Gate 3 launched with considerably more combat encounters, characters, spells and lines of dialogue. It seems quite a bit denser than Divinity: Original Sin 2's Early Access. If you're in a rush, a speedrunner has finished it in seven minutes because of course they have. There are clear paths and a main quest that will take you all across the map, but there's plenty to find off the beaten track. How long it takes you personally depends on how many fights you get into-there are plenty of ways to bypass them-and how much exploring you do. There's well over 20 hours' worth of adventuring in act one, which will take you to the current level cap of four. You won't be able to make it to the city of Baldur's Gate itself, but there's still plenty to do.
The first act includes a chunk of the Forgotten Realms' Sword Coast, the Underdark beneath it, an ancient fortress called Grymforge, and a brief jaunt through Hell. We've also explored how Baldur's Gate 3 compares to the classic games (opens in new tab). Give our Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access review (opens in new tab) a read to help you make your mind up. It's being patched on the regular, though that means choosing between a new patch that wipes your saves or sticking with an older, buggier build. Characters jitter in dialogue, and sometimes their eyes glow. It's great! The story doesn't really get going, and you'll finish just as clueless about what's going on with mind flayers and what you're going to do about this pesky tadpole that's been inserted into your head. It's a slightly anarchic sandbox at times, letting you sneak around pushing people off ledges, or dropping boulders on heads, like you're some fantasy hitman. What we've played so far is very promising.
