It’s wild that I’ve experienced two of what seem to be the best games ever in a span of a few months. I don’t have any D&D experience, but I’m really using BG3 to learn more about it and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve been a fan of the Zelda franchise since the original launched, and TotK is just incredible. Both of these games are amazing, even if they have different goals.
I haven't played this Baldur's Gate game yet, I will. Someone else will have to tell you if it's using 5th or 6th edition rules. Bear in mind that BG has always been a really good [battle section] simulator for D&D. The storylines are always interesting, but there's really no role-play, at least not like when playing with paper and dice. It should be a good primer for you though.
5th edition. Been in development too long to use 6th!
Oh well that's good! The even numbered editions always seem to be the least popular rule sets
Second ed was great :)
For math geeks, yeah. Second edition wasn't as popular as 1st and 3rd edition. Same for 4th with 3rd and 5th.
I'm waiting for the THAC0 mod to come out for this before it becomes a real D&D experience.
There is not a 6th edition of d&d yet
D&D One isn't out yet? That's what us old D&D nerds are referring to as 6th edition.
It's not out yet and is generally considered to be more of a 5.5th ed since it's been advertised as backwards compatible with 5th ed. Also I've been playing since 2nd ed AD&D so I'm certainly an old D&D nerd.
