In 1818, Mary Shelley published Frankenstein, a seminal work of science fiction and Gothic horror that is as relevant today as it was two-hundred years ago. To better understand the nature of the monstrous in Baldur's Gate 3, I want to begin by laying the groundwork of Shelley's "hideous progeny" – as she once called it – her most famous novel, and the monstrous creation within.
