Baldur's Gate 3 is based on the same rules and systems as Dungeons and Dragons, and players familiar with the tabletop RPG are likely to draw parallels in their experiences while playing the two games. Those who enjoy both Dungeons and Dragons and Baldur's Gate 3 have obviously called attention to how Baldur's Gate 3 improved on mechanics and systems in Dungeons and Dragons, as well as how it also closely emulates the experience of playing a TRPG even in single-player mode. However, this also includes some of Dungeons and Dragons' drawbacks. One of the most noticeable, especially in Acts 2 and 3, is having a party that is too big.
