Baldur's Gate 3 IS WOKE
Baldur's Gate 3 follows a customizable hero infected by an illithid parasite who must rally companions and make branching moral decisions to survive in a Forgotten Realms setting. Baldur's Gate 3 centers on a player-created adventurer who wakes aboard a mind flayer ship with a tadpole embedded in their brain. The protagonist escapes and begins gathering allies such as the vampire spawn Astarion, the half-elf cleric Shadowheart, and the githyanki warrior Lae'zel while searching for a cure. Choices in dialogue and action determine which factions offer aid or hostility. Turn-based combat unfolds across large explorable zones where dice rolls resolve skill checks and attacks. As the party travels, they confront cultists, devils, and rival factions while the tadpole threatens to transform them into mind flayers. Relationships with companions deepen or fracture based on decisions about power,
