1. Take Your Time with Character Creation
Your character is the heart of your journey. Don't rush through character creation:- Consider your playstyle: Choose a class that matches how you want to play (e.g., Fighters for combat, Wizards for spellcasting, Rogues for stealth).
- Read ability descriptions: Understand what each ability does before assigning points.
- Think about your character's background: It can provide useful skills and role-playing opportunities.
2. Save Often and in Multiple Slots
Baldur's Gate 3 is an open-ended game where choices matter:- Create multiple save files: This allows you to experiment with different choices.
- Save before important conversations or battles: You never know when things might go south.
- Use quicksave (F5) frequently: It's a lifesaver in unexpected situations.
3. Explore Thoroughly
The game world is rich with hidden content:- Use the highlight key (left Alt) often: It reveals interactive objects and hidden items.
- Talk to everyone: NPCs often have quests or valuable information.
- Look for creative solutions: Many problems have multiple solutions beyond combat.
4. Manage Your Party Wisely
Your companions are crucial to your success:- Balance your party: Try to have a mix of combat, magic, and utility skills.
- Use your companions' unique abilities: Each has special skills that can be invaluable.
- Pay attention to approval ratings: How you treat companions affects their loyalty and potential storylines.
5. Don't Neglect Camp Activities
Your camp is more than just a rest area:- Talk to companions at camp: This develops relationships and can unlock new quests.
- Use long rests strategically: They restore health and spell slots but can advance time-sensitive quests.
- Craft and identify items: Use downtime to prepare for upcoming challenges.
