Baldur's Gate 3 is out now on PC via Steam and GOG. Even writing these words feels a bit surreal for someone who played the sacred original titles when they came out. They were a revelation at the time and opened the heart's way to a lifelong passion for the Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying game and the Faerûn setting.

Remember that you can do so at any time, even during combat or in the middle of a dialogue, so just do it and reject any misguided feeling of guilt.

Secondly, as mentioned in the headline, it is my firm belief
