Baldur’s Gate 3 will not have a DLC or part 4.
Larian, the maker of Baldur’s Gate 3, will not be making a downloadable content or a Baldur’s Gate 4.
I am not surprised or upset. These last seven months, since August 3, 2023, have been wonderful. The voice actors have been open and creating content. Some are streaming on Twitch. It’s been amazing. I’ve loved every minute. I’ve never had an experience quite like this.
I remember the launch of different videogames, like Mass Effect 3 or Dragon Age 2 being similar with the excitement and connection with other players but never to the voice actors. Not at this level. For me, that’s what sets Baldur’s Gate 3 apart.
I’ve learned so much because of this game. I learned D&D. I learned turn based combat mechanics. I found new podcasts and met wonderful people. This game has brought so much joy to my life. A very small part of me is disappointed that the journey will not continue but the rest of me is looking forward to the next videogames like Dragon Age: Dread Wolf.
I think it’s because Baldur’s Gate 3 came out of nowhere. It was not anywhere in my awareness. I had no expectation of it. I had no hype. I tried playing, I loved it and I have continued to play. It has been without expectation from the beginning and even now, I have no expectations into the future. Certainly now with Larian saying there is no future. But that doesn’t upset me.
Maybe it’s my age, maybe is my experience but I am happy to have played this videogame. I am happy to have had the experiences I have had these last seven months. I will look back on this time in my life with joy and happiness knowing I found something so wonderful unexpectedly. What a joy it has been. Until the next…
