A part of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 charm is essentially giving players the freedom to progress through the game the way they want. Players are always free to take their time completing quests and exploring places, meaning anyone can jump in the game and play at their own pace. Depending on your choices, the game will lead you to different endings. And despite this being up to the player\u2019s choice, a portion of the community claims that there\u2019s a \u201cwrong\u201d way to play the game. This started in a Reddit thread, where a player shared their friend\u2019s experience of playing the game in under 60 hours. The player mentioned they were surprised when their friend told them he was done with the game despite only playing \u201ca little bit more than 50 hours.\u201d At first, the OP was a bit shocked, but they wanted their friend to \u201cplay the game the way he wanted to.\u201d They added, \u201cFrom time to time, he told me that he either steamrolled through the fights or really struggled with normal encounters, which confused me again, but I thought \u2018you do you\u2019 and let it go.\u201d After digging for more information, it turns out that their friend had only done the main quests, skipping all the other quests outside of them. Ultimately, their friend decided to have Gale blow himself up, ending the game in Act 2. The OP wrote, \u201cI believe that everyone should play how they want to, but doing what he did and then saying that the game was \u2018mid\u2019 and he wouldn\u2019t play again just makes me kind of angry.\u201d Players in the comments were baffled, and some didn\u2019t hesitate to point out that was the \u201cwrong\u201d way to play the game, given the \u201ccheese ending.\u201d One user mentioned that the friend did the playthrough wrong because they opted to speedrun the game, meaning they missed out on many combat and magic items that could add or change their build, adding to the \u201cpotential level-ups to explore.\u201d \u201cSo even if someone only enjoys combat and build crafting, the best way to play is still to explore and experience as much of the game as you can,\u201d they explained. There were also players who just straight-up roasted the OP\u2019s friend. \u201cSo, generously, he played 30% of the game and lost,\u201d one person wrote. Meanwhile, another claimed, \u201cSo, he played a game called Baldur\u2019s Gate without ever seeing Baldur\u2019s Gate\u2026\u201d While Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 allows players to play the game the way they want, it\u2019s clear that some players prefer to explore everything in the game and not rush things out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players claim there\u2019s a \u201cwrong\u201d way to play the game Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 may allow players to play the game the way they want, but according to some players, there\u2019s actually a \u201cwrong\u201d way to play the game.
