Anticipation for the highly anticipated game continues to build as a Baldur's Gate 3 developer teases the difficulty of the Tactician mode, suggesting that players will be moved to tears. This news will surely delight hardcore fans of the RPG genre, who have been eagerly awaiting the release of Baldur's Gate 3.

Baldur's Gate 3, the latest installment in the beloved franchise, is set to launch more than twenty years after its predecessor. Developed by Larian Studios, known for their critically acclaimed RPG Divinity: Original Sin 2, this iteration of Baldur's Gate aims to cater to modern audiences. While the game has been available in Early Access for nearly three years, with only the first act playable, players can expect a plethora of exciting content in the full release. In fact, recent reports suggest that Baldur's Gate 3 boasts an impressive 174 hours of cutscenes, ensuring that players will have more than enough immersive storytelling to enjoy.

The recent Panel From Hell for Baldur's Gate 3 brought news of the game's difficulty from Larian Studios' creative director Swen Vincke. The panel showcased plenty of new gameplay, including a controversial romance scene involving a bear-form Druid that has sparked debate online. Vincke also discussed the game's Tactical mode, which is touted as the toughest difficulty level in Baldur's Gate 3. He emphasized the importance of utilizing every advantage available to avoid being completely overwhelmed. Vincke humorously acknowledged that while players may initially think they can handle the challenge, they may eventually find themselves struggling and blaming the game. He reassured players that any difficulties encountered are not the game's fault, but rather a result of their own approach.

Baldur's Gate 3 is currently being hailed as the closest a video game can come to delivering an authentic Dungeons and Dragons experience. This news of its challenging gameplay will undoubtedly be well received by RPG enthusiasts. With the release date just a month away, fans won't have to wait long to see if the game lives up to their lofty expectations.

The panel itself revealed a plethora of new information about Baldur's Gate 3, even surprising Early Access players. One particularly exciting revelation is that players will have the ability to respec their characters in the middle of the game, providing much-needed relief in such a lengthy gameplay experience.

It is fascinating to witness the growing anticipation for Baldur's Gate 3 as its release date approaches. Just a few weeks ago, Larian Studios made the decision to bring forward the release of Baldur's Gate 3 on PC by one month, ensuring it does not clash with the highly anticipated Starfield. This move has only heightened the community's excitement. Unfortunately, Xbox Series X/S players are still awaiting updates on a release for their platform. According to the latest information, the developer is currently facing challenges in optimizing the game for this platform. However, it is hoped that Larian Studios will overcome this hurdle in the near future.

Baldur's Gate 3 is coming to PC on August 3 and PS5 on September 6. An Xbox Series X/S version is in development.
