To my wonderful PS5 brethrens, if you carry a few crates around with you at all times, you can drop them during combat without using any economy and obtain a free +2 advantage to all your attack rolls bc of the height gain.

New to the series and fairly new to D&D but I’m so exited to play this! I usually okay as a rogue but leaning towards either Barbarian, Fighter, Sorcerer or Warlock for my first play through. Hope everyone has a lot of fun!

Enjoy this wonderful game on your consoles my friends, oh and do remember to do a "dark urge" play as well...
It's very interesting

The one thing that the game does not tell you very well is what options you get at higher levels depending on the class and race you choose.
Otherwise the game is great and should just be experienced.
But remember that all choices have consequences.

I’m 90 hours in on the PC and I’m still only on Act 2. I might buy this game on PS5 too just to play it on my couch too lol

[coreyjones]

I know nothing of BG or D&D. I just knew when i first saw the trailer for this game that it was everything I ever wanted. That was until I researched further into the game. Now it’s everything I never knew I needed.

When you watch a before you buy after you already bought lol.

[TylerEdlin]

Even playing on the pc im using controller, it works that well.

[thetruth]

It's so close. I've been waiting for years!

[teddyfurstman]

Getting it on Sep 2nd on Deluxe Edition. #BaldursGate3

Every single encounter or enemy is handcrafted, use the examine function frequentlly to figure out enemy strenghts and weaknesses, also if you're looking for an spicy run go for dark urge!

[jonate]

I'm a little worried about not seeing any ps5 gameplay at All and the game is so close to release.
