Baldur's Gate 3

Play as a custom adventurer or an Origin hero who has been infected with a mind flayer parasite. As the infection awakens strange abilities, you travel with companions through a conflict involving devils, deities, and otherworldly forces, with decisions shaping relationships and the story. Explore the Forgotten Realms, uncover secrets, and take on quests using conversation, stealth, combat, or the environment. Climb, jump, sneak, shove, and interact with objects as you find different ways around obstacles and through encounters. Combat uses turn-based Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition rules, with party initiative, dice checks, spells, and abilities that reward planning. Choose from 12 classes and 11 races, develop your character as you progress, build relationships with companions, and play solo or in online co-op for up to four players.

Lead a parasite-infected hero and party through a choice-driven fantasy quest of exploration, dialogue, and tactical turn-based combat.
