The original Baldur’s Gate game was developed by BioWare and Black Isle Studios, and published by Interplay Entertainment in 1998. As the protagonist searches for a way to remove their parasite, they encounter other survivors of the wreck: the human wizard Gale, the half-elf cleric Shadowheart, the high elf vampire rogue Astarion, the human warlock Wyll, and the githyanki fighter Lae’zel.

The protagonist is freed during the fighting and steers the damaged ship back to Faerûn, where it crashes. Before the mind flayers can transform their victims, the nautiloid flying ship they are all aboard comes under attack from githyanki warriors and their red dragons and flees through multiple realms, including Avernus, the first of the Nine Hells. They have implanted the protagonist, as well as a host of other creatures, with illithid tadpoles, parasites capable of enthralling and transforming them into another mind flayer. The player character (named by the player) has been taken captive by the mind flayers, who have launched an invasion of Faerûn. In the year 1492 DR, over 120 years after the events of Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn and months after the events of Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus, the forces of darkness are on the rise. Unlike previous games in the Baldur’s Gate series, Baldur’s Gate III has turn-based combat, similar to Larian’s earlier games Divinity: Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin II but this time based on the D&D 5th Edition rules. Optionally, players will be able to take one of their characters and team up online with other players to form a party. Players can create one or more characters and form a party along with computer-generated characters to explore the game’s story. Baldur’s Gate III is a role-playing video game that offers both a single-player and cooperative multiplayer element.
