Baldur's Gate 3 has blown away expectations and redefined what an RPG can be, and that may put Bethesda's upcoming Starfield in a rough spot.

The thing is, BG3 hasn’t redefined anything. It has shown that there’s a market for games that do have extremely strong story and character writing and don’t have microtransactions and shitty mini-DLCs like skin packs and late-game equipment early on - basically, pre-Horse Armor gaming.

It’s the same as The Witcher 3 back when that released and also “redefined RPGs”.

All things BG3!

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a story-rich, party-based RPG set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons, where your choices shape a tale of fellowship and betrayal, survival and sacrifice, and the lure of absolute power. (Website)
