“This Is the Utopia We Dream of”- Baldur’s Gate 3 Players Are in Support of the Game’s ‘Old-School’ Move in the Present Gaming Space

Baldur’s Gate 3 is breaking a lot of industry norms and fans aren’t complaining either. In the present conditions, almost all games require some form of in-game transactions for players to avail an object or cosmetic and experience the game to its fullest extent. However, Larian Studios took a very different path with Baldur’s Gate 3, and fans can’t be happier with the decision. The devs have declared that no in-game purchases or micro-transactions exist in the latest Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG. Larian also claims that this will not deter any fan from enjoying the game fully.

Understandably, the absence of micro-transactions in the game has left fans overjoyed with how Larian has decided to go ‘old-school’ with its newest offering.

In the Gazette, the devs elaborate on how the party-based Dungeons & Dragons will play.

However, Larian seems to have had enough of the question and has come clean once and for all. The devs have said that they believe in providing a complete experience to players without having them pay for any additional purchases.
