This week, the Professors engage in a full spoilercast of
their experiences playing Baldur’s Gate 3, which include: story arcs, character arcs, and the lack of a main character arc; a discussion of the differences between narrative and morality choices in video games and the illusion of agency in video games (and perhaps in the physical world?); gameplay frustrations; and a genuine appreciation for what Larian Studios (mostly) succeeded at doing with BG3. Also, why we’d like to see a Super Baldur’s Gate 3 Maker come out, so we can customize adventures like tabletop DnD. Thanks in advance, Larian!
