Baldur's Gate 3 is a big game (and a really good game, at least so far) and stepping into it for the first time is both exciting and intimidating. With so much to see and do (and kill) (and loot) (and so on) it's hard not to get distracted.
Not that there's anything wrong with getting distracted, mind you—but if you set out boldly seeking adventure in far-flung locations you're bound to miss a little something closer to home. You might even miss something in the game's opening sequence. If you want to be sure you're not skipping over something important—or maybe just something cool and interesting—we've gathered together five things you shouldn't miss during the first handful of hours to sink into Baldur's Gate 3.
