There's a lot of lore to grapple with in Baldur's Gate 3, which draws from a decades-old, rich tapestry from the Forgotten Realms setting of Dungeons and Dragons. For players new to the franchise, or new to Dungeons and Dragons, it can be quite overwhelming! The game does not hold the hands of players and throws them into the deep end, placing players squarely in the middle of a war between the Mind Flayers and the Githyanki, all while a revolution brews from the Cult of the Absolute.
