In a Steam broadcast whose archives I can't for the life of me find, Larian Studios founder Sven Vincke and renowned dungeon master Matt Mercer demonstrated that, yes, "Baldur's Gate 3" is a Larian RPG.
Divinity: for example, you can resolve combat by using telekinesis to drop heavy objects on enemies; in a stream clipped by Twitter user Asarge, Mercer stacked four impossibly tall crates, climbed to the highest point, and and standing on top of the ramparts.
Mercer, playing Minsc in Baldur's Gate 3, then calmly fires a "transition arrow" over the keep's walls and teleports over the keep's natural moat.
Baldur's Gate 3 is still in Early Access and is very large.
I'm really liking the D&D RPG so far, but still have a long way to go before I see the end of it. I've been playing for over 10 hours on my main save and I haven't left Act 1 yet. I haven't even tried stacking a bunch of crates yet.
Mercer deserves a Baldur's Gate 3 promo figure: besides being in the game, he is the DM for D&D's Twitch streaming outfit, Critical Role, and is definitely helping to revive D&D's popularity!
