Baldur’s Gate 3 is hands-down one of this year’s biggest RPG games yet, and it’s only been out for a day.

“Should you nonetheless not be able to withstand the seductive melody whispered by their malevolent terms, we reserve the right to sever all ties professional or social with the end user, and seek appropriate remedy from the Morninglord,” writes Larian
