Baldur's Gate 3 is a CRPG that is heavily based on the tabletop game Dungeons and Dragons. This therefore means, through the three acts of the title, players are either in turn-based combat or talking to the diverse cast of characters that make the world of Baldur's Gate 3 feel alive. On some occasions, players can use the art of persuasion, deception, or intimate action to talk their way out of the situations that occur throughout the game.
