The most popular class and race in Baldur’s Gate 3 will definitely surprise you

A week before the official full launch of Baldur’s Gate 3, a poll of more than 5,000 people on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit voted on what class and race they’re picking for their first playthrough. And to me, the results are surprising. There are 12 classes, 46 subclasses, 11 races, and 31 subraces to choose from in Baldur’s Gate 3 and all of them are interesting and exciting in their own ways. So, what are the most popular classes and races in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Note: While learning the most popular race and class in Baldur’s Gate 3 is interesting, what’s more interesting is learning about what the best party class compositions are in this game.

According to the poll, brought to us by Fable_Nova on Reddit, the most popular class in Baldur’s Gate 3 is Paladin at 16.5%. I’m honestly not surprised that Paladin is the most popular class because they are great at everything — tank, DPS, healing, etc. They are a really fun class and, while there is one Paladin companion you can get, she’s not the easiest to get along with (you’re given a quest to kill her).

What really surprised me is that Bard is the second most popular class at 14.6%. Out of all the classes, Bard seems like it’s the hardest to play. But, considering the audience of the BG3 subreddit, I can imagine the majority of people that voted in this poll are experienced with D&D and Larian Studios’ games.

Here’s the entire list of popular classes in Baldur’s Gate 3:

It’s not surprising to me to see Sorcerer and Warlock high on the list because spellcaster classes are arguably the most fun and these two classes are Charisma-based which is also the most fun. I’m surprised Druid isn’t higher since I think that class is really interesting and fun to play. I’m not surprised
