Baldur’s Gate 3: A Hilarious Stats Breakdown!

Baldur's Gate 3 Unveiling the Ultimate Characters, Classes, and Love Interests! Larian Spills the Beans on 452 Million Hours of RPG Gameplay!

Larian drops a Baldur’s Gate 3 info bomb, sharing the top characters, classes, and love interests from the staggering 452 million hours poured into the game.

Larian Studios, the brains behind the epic RPG Baldur’s Gate 3, has just released some mind-blowing stats about the game. Prepare to have your mind blown (and your funny bone tickled) as we explore the bizarre and awe-inspiring world of Baldur’s Gate 3!

Let’s kick things off with some jaw-dropping numbers. Players have collectively spent a whopping 452,556,984 hours in-game. That’s over 51,662 years of total playtime! And get this: 8,196 out of those years were spent in character creation alone. Talk about taking your time!

So, what kind of characters did players create? Well, a whopping 94% of players decided to go the custom character route. But among the premade Origin characters, our dear friend Gale takes the crown as the most popular, closely followed by the enigmatic Astarion. Karlach and Shadowheart are neck-and-neck for third place, while poor Wyll and Lae’zel are left in the dust.

Now, let’s talk classes. In August, Paladins reigned supreme as the most popular class in Baldur’s Gate 3. And guess what? They’re still on top! But the Sorcerers are hot on their heels, followed closely by Fighters and Rogues. Barbarians and Warlocks are also in the mix, making for one interesting party lineup.

But wait, there’s more! We have to discuss subclasses. Barbarians can’t get enough of the Berserker subclass, while Bards are all about that College of Lore life. And here’s an interesting tidbit: Paladins seem to have a thing for the Oath of Vegeance. I guess being basic is just a part of the Paladin package.

Now, brace yourself for the most scandalous stat of them all: Shadowheart is officially crowned the “most popular romantic interest.” A whopping 51.3% of players reached the final act of her romance arc. Karlach and Lae’zel followed closely behind, but I can’t help but wonder how their personal storylines influenced this statistic. But hey, no judgment here—I also fell for Shadowheart’s goth charm!

But what about those peculiar things that happen in Baldur’s Gate 3? Hold onto your hats, because I’ve got some mind-boggling numbers for you. Over 1.3 million players have beaten the game, but get this: 1.24 million of them were transformed into a sentient wheel of cheese. I might have missed out on that transformation, but it sounds utterly cheesy!

And the oddities don’t stop there. 1.2 million characters were “compelled to dance against their will,” while a staggering 14.4 million characters were disintegrated into a pile of fine grey dust. Looks like the Disintegrate spell is a crowd favorite!

Now, let’s talk about the exciting new addition to Baldur’s Gate 3: Honour Mode. Some brave souls have already beaten the game on this challenging mode—yes, all 464 of them. I have to wonder if they used cheesy speedrun tactics to pull it off.

But don’t worry, they’re just a small percentage of the 158,000 Honour Mode playthroughs that were started. Sadly, around 34,000 players have already lost their lives in this brutal mode. Even experienced tacticians are feeling the heat in Baldur’s Gate 3’s Honour Mode—it truly is a whole new RPG experience.

If you’re hungry for more Baldur’s Gate 3 goodness, guess what? Patch 5 has brought some exciting combat changes, including one that lowers the effectiveness of Warlocks. The excitement never ends in this game!

So, grab your favorite snacks and settle in for an adventure like no other. Baldur’s Gate 3 is waiting to whisk you away to a world filled with romance, oddities, and hilarious stats. Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey!
