Player stats for the first weekend of Baldur's Gate 3
Player stats for the first weekend of Baldur's Gate 3
Hello, everyone! During the launch weekend, you played a combined 1225 years of Baldur’s Gate 3 – almost as long as it took to make it. And 368 of you managed to finish it within that 3-day weekend. We salute you. We’re about to enter the second weekend of launch, and thanks to you, it’s looking lik...
We’ve cooked up some statistics highlighting data from the opening weekend following launch and prepared a handy infographic outlining player choices, actions, deaths, and the like. Some inspiration as we head into our second weekend, if you will.
Well the class selection ain't surprising.
The cleric is someone everyone wants in the party but nobody wants to be.

But then again they are so versatile you can have a party entirely Made up with clerics and call them the A-Men who can bully Tiamat for her lunch money who would rather built a toilet to give herself swirlies. And now you know how to play cleric, you're welcome! (Dainty music)
17Cleric is probably a harder start than wizard.
Wizard at least has great damage cantrips. Cleric is mostly stuck using sacred flame against hordes of high dex goblins.
Once you get spiritual weapon it starts ramping nicely and by level 5/6 it's nuts.
5Great JoCat reference 🤣

I like that they released this. I am the most basic having first picked a Half-Elf (sorcerer, no less). My SO picked Githyanki (bard) so he gets more unique points. The Astarion rejection section is hysterical to me!! Also, I cannot believe hundreds of people beat the game in a weekend? Mindblown.
9For real, I have the week off, my gf is out for work, and I played all days since release, and I’m still way way behind 😂 granted I restarted after act 1, but still 😂

It’s nice to see a good chunk of people going down the evil road. The game does an excellent job in providing gameplay and roleplay rewards for these choices. I’m loving my playthrough so far and I’m always surprised by how many small interactions are there for any possible dialogue or action.
As for the class, me and a couple of friends also chose a paladin for the first character, but switched after act 1. Now I’m playing an evil warlock and holy moly I’m having so much fun.
9well, if any previous BG experience tell me, sometimes people just roll with situation instead of reload when they try to steal stuff and get busted then forced into fight or die situation, which leads to big fight in town and stick through their decisions. Unless the graph means the actual conversation choices not the end result.

My halflings aren't popular I see:*(
8I don't see why anybody would ever play a boring version of a gnome when the proper gnome is right there.
5I went with Tiefling Bard.
It's been fun so far.
4I went tiefling bard dark urge. Turns out there are more tiefling bards.

I'm rolling with a Halfling Rogue, it's always the class I try to play first in D&D games and versions. I'm also surprised at the lack of Halflings in the stats!
My wife is playing a Githyanki the only race that's less popular. Lol!

This could basically be the graph for characters people made in DND beyond.
6Turns put I’m a bit basic with my choice of Dragonborn Paladin (Oathbreaker Dark Urge). I’m a sucker for charisma classes that can hit like a truck.
I’m hoping for some unique interactions as a tiefling next time around.
