Baldur’s Gate 3 players share their favourite early access memories ahead of release.
Many RPG fans are eagerly awaiting Starfield’s September release date; however, Baldur’s Gate 3 has also garnered much interest among players prior to its full launch.
Offering exciting quests and battles, PC players have already started planning out builds they’ll use during their initial playthroughs of this title.
Over the last week or two, Larian has been leading players through the complex process involved with setting up Baldur’s Gate’s full release version. Now that its arrival looms closer than ever before, some Baldur’s Gate veterans have shared their fondest memories from its early access period.
On r/BaldursGate3, user serpentear began this period of fond recall by writing an post entitled: “To my early access homies.” They went on to state: “Our contributions left their mark and your feedback helped shape this game into what will come tomorrow. Thank you all so much!”
“We have seen it all!” they exclaimed, listing off memorable bugs and events like companions attempting to scale invisible ladders and Halsin becoming such a fan favorite that his developers offered him as one of several available companions.
Serpentear ended his post by asserting: “It has been my great privilege to experience all this with all of you, we will always have early access together and tomorrow we start playing for real!”
Naturally, many early access veterans have since shared memories from this period in responses to the post.
“Over three years, my attitude changed from thinking Larian is incapable of recreating Dungeons & Dragons to believing this RPG experience will become one of, if not, the greatest RPGs from recent memory.” so wrote User thedrizztman who began playing Day 1.
GraveKeeperClaire noted the incredible irony of early access gameplay versus returning later: how people did not like Shadowheart initially but now she has become such a beloved hero!
ShungieShrieks put up another post paying their respects to those who were anticipating the game’s full release but unfortunately weren’t around to see it; one person they specifically mentioned as an example was their late brother.
Players in the comments have paid beautiful and heartfelt tribute to people from their lives – truly an emotional display!
