Baldur’s Gate III Lead Writer Discusses Overlapping Elements with Starfield and Future Lessons Learned

Baldur’s Gate III lead writer Adam Smith commented on comparisons between the game and Starfield, which were inevitable due to the close release dates of the two RPGs. Smith himself believes that the creators of these games had different goals, but some elements do overlap. And it is precisely these parallels that Smith is especially interested in, since they allow him to draw useful conclusions for the future. For example, this may concern the approach to telling the plot, the structure of dialogues, and the like. According to Smith, the authors of the games “behind the scenes” only wish their colleagues success. And he is sure that the developers from Bethesda also take away useful knowledge when passing BG3. The screenwriter believes that in the industry “there is enough room for everyone,” so comparing the authors’ approach to certain gameplay elements is not only interesting, but also useful. Larian itself, by the way, continues to work on optimizing Baldur’s Gate 3 – previously six hotfixes have already been released for the game.
