Baldur's Gate 3 is built on the Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition system by Larian Studios and works almost exactly the same as it does in a session of D&D Fifth Edition. This means that Baldur's Gate 3 players have access to the range of diverse rules, systems, and features from one of the most popular editions of Dungeons & Dragons. As a result, players have a great deal of freedom in both exploration and in combat.
