Enjoyed Baldur's Gate 3? Here's how to get into Dungeons & Dragons

Astarion scratching his chin while looking pensive

If you’ve sunk a few dozen hours into Baldur’s Gate 3 and are hungry for more, we’ve got good news for you: there’s a game out there, almost identical to Baldur’s Gate 3. It has 49 years of content available, and it’s just waiting for you to pick it up. The visuals are as good as your imagination, and the only limiting factor is how often you can get a group of friends together to play.

As you’re probably aware, Baldur’s Gate 3 is based on the Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition ruleset, right down to the virtual dice rolls. There are a few changes to the way certain classes and abilities act on the table versus in-game, but overall it runs remarkably similarly; Larian did a stellar job at both adapting the rules of an abstract tabletop game, and creating an end product that truly feels like D&D. This means it’s a very easy jump from Baldur’s Gate 3 into D&D proper.
