I got into the Baldur's Gate 3 character creator with very few ideas about who I was going to play. I knew I was going to make a custom avatar, because I wanted to meet all the Origin characters as voice-acted party members, and I figured it would probably be a good idea to pick a class that was represented among the Origin options. When I chose to play as a Druid, it was a pure whim – and now I can't imagine playing as anything else.
I'm sure if you carefully consider the best Baldur's Gate 3 Druid build you'll be able to build an absolute powerhouse in combat, but that's not really what I'm looking for when I create an avatar in a computer RPG. What I really want is versatility in both combat and role-playing – a character who can dabble in a little bit of everything so I can see as much of the game as I can in a single run.
