Baldur's Gate 3
Designed by Larian Studios
Published by Larian Studios

D&D Campaign in the Forgotten Realms Setting, the 2023 Game of the year.
A rich game play environment with many branching paths, determined by your own choices.

So an ordinary guy, a lowly Archivist/Historian/Librarian (Happens to end up starting as a cleric of who else Ohgma and Knowledge domain), Was Transported across a multi-verse plane to the Forgotten Realms on this Mind Flayer ship. He isn't sure what to make of it but being ever curious he set out to learn every class of Adventurer in the quest to find a cure.

Come along with me and see how The Librarian, a Normal Human, Fares among these Heroes of the Sword Coast.
What could possibly go wrong with this idea? Come watch and see.
I will be trying to read out all items that can be read, I will try to be working out possible mindset/voice of the authors so it might take a bit longer in certain sections of the game as I do that, I will try to chapter mark those times when I read a lot, it you want to skip that.


Note I will not be able to add Mods as we are trying to get the Jack of all Trades (JoaT) achievement.

Please leave comments.
