Baldur's Gate

Multiplatform

Baldur's Gate is the CRPG series that turns player choice into the main mechanic and then politely lets those choices derail everything.

It started as a foundational D&D computer RPG and returned to global spotlight with Baldur's Gate 3, where reactivity, systemic combat, and narrative flexibility set a new genre benchmark.

This hub tracks release history, rule-system evolution, and where to start if you want tactical depth without reading an entire tabletop handbook first.
