Baldur’s Gate 3‘s setting, the Forgotten Realms, is the perfect home for heroic fantasy in a lot of ways. Created by Ed Greenwood in his childhood and later introduced as an official Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting, the Forgotten Realms now serve as the default home for most modern DnD content. Baldur’s Gate 3‘s engaging story and locations are a great reminder of how much the Forgotten Realms still has to give, but the game also showcases how a lot of what makes the setting interesting for adventurers could spell its doom in the long run.
