Baldur's Gate 3 - Community Update #23: Here's To You - Steam News
store.steampowered.com
Hello, everyone! During the launch weekend, you played a combined 1225 years of Baldur’s Gate 3 – almost as long as it took to make it. And 368 of you managed to finish it within that 3-day weekend. We salute you. We’re about to enter the second weekend of launch, and thanks to you, it’s looking like it might be a big one.

We’ve cooked up some statistics highlighting data from the opening weekend following launch and prepared a handy infographic outlining player choices, actions, deaths, and the like. Some inspiration as we head into our second weekend, if you will.

    I like that they released this. I am the most basic having first picked a Half-Elf (sorcerer, no less). My SO picked Githyanki (bard) so he gets more unique points. The Astarion rejection section is hysterical to me!! Also, I cannot believe hundreds of people beat the game in a weekend? Mindblown.

      For real, I have the week off, my gf is out for work, and I played all days since release, and I’m still way way behind 😂 granted I restarted after act 1, but still 😂

    It’s nice to see a good chunk of people going down the evil road. The game does an excellent job in providing gameplay and roleplay rewards for these choices. I’m loving my playthrough so far and I’m always surprised by how many small interactions are there for any possible dialogue or action.

    As for the class, me and a couple of friends also chose a paladin for the first character, but switched after act 1. Now I’m playing an evil warlock and holy moly I’m having so much fun.

      well, if any previous BG experience tell me, sometimes people just roll with situation instead of reload when they try to steal stuff and get busted then forced into fight or die situation, which leads to big fight in town and stick through their decisions. Unless the graph means the actual conversation choices not the end result.

    Turns put I’m a bit basic with my choice of Dragonborn Paladin (Oathbreaker Dark Urge). I’m a sucker for charisma classes that can hit like a truck.

    I’m hoping for some unique interactions as a tiefling next time around.
