Baldur’s Gate 3 Already Has The Perfect Story For Its DLC

gamepur.com:

It didn’t take long for Baldur’s Gate 3 players to ask, “What’s next,” as the game doesn’t reach the full scale of what Dungeons & Dragons 5E can offer. Developer Larian Studios is reportedly discussing potential DLC for the game. Yet, there is already a story waiting to be told that exists within D&D, and it’s already connected to Baldur’s Gate.

The reason fans are asking for more Baldur’s Gate 3 content is that the game doesn’t hit high-level play. Baldur’s Gate 3 has a level cap of 12, while D&D 5E goes up to level 20. This means there’s plenty of room for a post-story DLC, similar to what happened with Baldur’s Gate 2 and its Throne of Bhaal expansion.

In Baldur’s Gate: Descent Into Avernus, the holy city of Elturel was dragged into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. This was all part of a plot concocted by Zariel, a former angel who once led an invasion into Avernus and was captured and corrupted by the forces of evil. Zariel eventually rose through the ranks and became the Archduchess of Avernus. She became the first line of defense against the invading forces of the demons as the Blood War (the eternal conflict between demons and devils in the D&D multiverse) was fiercely fought
