Baldur's Gate 3 managed to break out of the traditional CRPG demographic and capture the hearts and minds of total newcomers to the genre (like me). This was hugely exciting to see, but it inevitably caused some headaches for folks who found themselves intimidated by the game's unfamiliar rules and systems (again, like me). The cure to this headache, according to Larian senior RPG designer Anna Guxens, is to simply "roll with it" instead of trying to understand and master everything perfectly.
Speaking to Gamereactor, Guxens shared some sage advice for players who are new to RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 and struggling to wrap their head around it all. "I think you don't need to be intimidated by the systems and the depth of it, because it's designed in a way that you can just have fun," she begins. "You don't need to understand and get the full experience like, 'I will know everything.' You don't need that, you just need to roll with it, have fun. You fail? That's okay, that's also part of the story."
