Larian Studios via PolygonRoss Miller (he/him) is Polygon’s Senior Commerce Editor for the summer. He has nearly 20 years of experience in media and was a founding editor of The Verge.Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to reign as one of greatest RPGs of all time. Even at full price we called it gaming’s best deal — something you can easily spend hundreds of hours playing and still have more to see after multiple playthroughs. The game has further evolved since its release with a number of free, content-rich updates, including this week’s Patch 7 that added new evil endings, an in-game mod manager, and revamped split screen gameplay.This weekend, Larian Studios is offering steep discounts across its entire portfolio of games for both Steam and GOG, the latter of which has the added bonus of being DRM-free. That means you can now pick up Baldur’s Gate 3 for $47.99 (was $59.99) — a 20% discount and the lowest price we’ve seen yet for this seminal work.Baldur's Gate 3$48$6020% off$48One of my wishes in life is that I had both enough IRL friends and enough time to play a D&D campaign. Alas, I do not have either, but Baldur’s Gate 3 exists, which is probably the best consolation I could ever ask for in my situation. Larian Studios took on the storied series from BioWare, and delivered a massive, memorable, and highly personalized RPG worthy of the Baldur’s Gate name.While the number of possibilities in Baldur’s Gate 3 pales in comparison to the limitless customization of a homegrown D&D game, it should manage to surprise and delight players with its cast of characters, as well as the many story twists you’ll encounter (or be directly responsible for creating). The randomness of dice rolls, plus the game’s alternate storylines for, say, an evil Dark Urge campaign, should keep players entertained for many playthroughs to come. —Cameron FaulknerRead More$48 at GOG$48 at SteamExisting owners can upgrade to the digital deluxe edition for $7.99 (was $9.99) this weekend, which includes new D20 dice visual theme, new bard songs, an in-game “Adventurer’s Pouch” of camp supplies and potions, a very wonderful original soundtrack, and more.Baldur's Gate 3 Digital Deluxe Edition upgrade$8$1020% off$8$8 at GOG$8 at SteamFor those that have, somehow, seen it all in Baldur’s Gate 3 — and for that, we of course salute you — we recommend checking out the other titles from Larian’s back catalog. Our favorite pick is Divinity: Original Sin 2, another epic RPG that the developer released in 2017. If you loved BG3, this is a great way to scratch that itch outside of the Forgotten Realms — and a great primer for what Larian might do as it explores its next non-D&D game.Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition$13$4571% off$13$13 at GOG$13 at Steam
