Introducing the Modern RPG Gem – Baldur’s Gate 3: Not Your Average CRPG

Baldur's Gate 3 developer claims the game defies CRPG conventions - in the most epic sense imaginable!

Baldur’s Gate 3 developer admits the game isn’t a CRPG in any sense.

Picture this: you’re a fearless adventurer, ready to embark on an epic quest filled with danger, mystery, and hair-raising battles. What’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you’re a dedicated gamer, it’s probably a CRPG (Classic Role-Playing Game), right? Well, hold on to your wizard hats because Larian Studios’ latest masterpiece, Baldur’s Gate 3, is about to shatter your preconceptions.

In a recent interview with By DesGameTopic, Larian Studios’ publishing director, the charismatic Micheal Douse, opened up about the moniker “CRPG” and its implications. He starts by boldly stating that Baldur’s Gate 3 shouldn’t be confined to such a narrow label. “We never used the term CRPG in our campaGameTopics for a reason,” he declares, hinting at the extraordinary ride that awaits us.

So, why the exclusion? Well, for starters, Baldur’s Gate 3 is breaking boundaries and venturing into uncharted territory. Forget about cramped computer screens; this game plays amazingly well on a PS5, and an Xbox port is on the horizon, set to arrive this year. But wait, there’s more! Douse also reveals that their previous hit, Divinity Original Sin 2, ran like a dream on an iPad Pro. You heard right – these games are no longer just “computer RPGs.” They’ve evolved into something much more magnificent… Console-Mobile-Computer-RPGs!

Now, let’s delve into the controversial “C” in CRPG. Sure, it traditionally stands for “computer,” distinguishing these games from their tabletop RPG counterparts. But Douse playfully challenges this notion. “Consider CRPG to mean ‘classic’ RPG? Think again!” he exclaims. Baldur’s Gate 3 is not your average classic RPG; it’s a modern RPG that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible. With its mind-boggling depth and innovative features, this game stands head and shoulders above the rest.

For those skeptics out there, Douse has a reality check ready. “Every time we release a ‘CRPG,’ the ‘CRPG’ audience grows,” he asserts. The only reason people assume this audience is small is due to the lack of substantial data. It’s like trying to predict a marathon winner with only a handful of runners! So, don’t underestimate the potential of Baldur’s Gate 3. There’s no other CRPG with AAA production values that can serve as a benchmark for its success.

Now, you might be wondering, what are the secret ingredients behind this game’s immense triumph? Douse hints at the answer: “It’s a blessing and a curse.” While mostly a blessing, there are complex problems that require intricate solutions. Perhaps it’s the masterstroke of releasing the game in early access or securing the license to a beloved series. Whatever the intricate solutions were, they undeniably paid off, catapulting Baldur’s Gate 3 into the stratosphere of gaming greatness.

And just when you think this game can’t get any better, the actors behind Astarion, Lae’zel, and Shadowheart pitch a whimsical DLC that will transport you to an idyllic world inspired by Stardew Valley. How’s that for an enchanting surprise?

So, fellow gamers, prepare yourselves for an unforgettable journey through the captivating realm of Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s time to experience a modern RPG masterpiece that smashes conventions, leaves you breathless, and redefines what it means to be a hero in a digital world. Embrace the immersive magic and embark on this epic adventure, where every decision you make shapes your own unique legend.
