5 Ideas for a Fresh Baldur’s Gate 3 Playthrough

Baldur’s Gate 3 has become a gaming sensation, offering endless replayability. Each playthrough is unique, with different race and class choices unlocking new dialogue options and story paths. Your decisions shape the game, and there are multiple romance options and companions to align with. If you’re looking for a fresh experience, here are five ideas:

1. Embrace the Dark Urge

Indulge in your dark side by customizing the Dark Urge origin character. Fully embrace your bloodlust and become a ruthless psychopath, leading to shocking and unforgettable moments.

2. Shadowheart’s Opposite

Choose to be a Cleric of Selune, the complete opposite of Shadowheart’s beliefs. Work to win her over or maintain your opposing views throughout the campaign, uncovering more about her history.

3. Become an Illithid

Embrace the Mind Flayer powers offered by the tadpole in your head. Choose to fully embrace the Illithid lifestyle, unlocking unique gameplay opportunities and altering the course of the game.

4. The Lone Wolf

Challenge yourself by going solo and shunning alliances. This is not for the faint-hearted, but a mod can provide boosts to make it more manageable. Companions can stay at your camp, but you must face battles and exploration alone.

5. Permadeath

Experience the thrill of permadeath, where every decision matters. If someone dies, they stay dead. Apply this rule to companions and NPCs, and recruit hirelings if needed. Make sure to have enough gold to replace fallen allies.
