“At the end of the day this remains a D&D game and the most important character in a game of D&D is you.”, explains Sarah Baylus, lead writer at Larian Studios.Įach companion has been created to feel authentic, with clear motivations, differences, and views on the world around them. Through a mix of systems design, narrative writing, and cinematics, Larian is aiming to create three-dimensional relationships that feel as authentic as possible. It’s where the party lays down their weapons, and talk at their most vulnerable, all through cinematic dialogues. Will you pursue love with one companion to the detriment of another? Or will you side with a faction a companion detests, putting feelings to the side to achieve your strategic goals? As with life, many decisions will have to be made, not all of them easy, and not every outcome obvious.Īfter a long day’s journey, you will end the day at your camp, Though you can interact with your companions at any time, it’s at the camp where a lot of the most intimate thoughts and feelings come into play. Not only will characters have opinions about you, but also about each other, and other factions in the game. Frictions may test the party’s resolve, and romances might test the party dynamic. The sum of a character is determined by many factors, and continues to be shaped by your actions and reactions to the world, and the party you journey with. Not too long into Early Access, you will be having an adventure so specific to your character, that no other player is going to see the exact same content. As you play the game, and you begin to make choices in combat, exploration, and conversation, you’ll be presented with situations and scenarios that are unique to your playthrough. These differences will also be present in your relationship dialogues. For example, playing as a Drow Wizard will give you different dialogue options than playing as a Githyanki Warlock. In Baldur’s Gate 3, a 5e D&D game, creating a custom character will immerse you in the story just as much as playing as one of the Origin Characters. These systems have been designed to create the most intimate, authentic, reactive relationships ever seen in a Larian RPG. Larian have created reactive systems all throughout the journey of a relationship from the time of meeting a companion, to the potential romance with them, there are hundreds of permutations that define where a relationship heads, if anywhere at all. The exact relationship you have with your companions, already marred by differences, will be shaped by who you are, what you do, who you side with, and what you say in conversation with them. Bound by the shared problem of an Illithid tadpole buried in their head, they will join your party but you’ll all have to put your differences aside if you want to survive. Each of your companions have their own personalities, goals, and motivations. The decisions you make in dialogue, and also in combat, or when exploring the world, have consequences in both the long and short term, shaping your unique story.
