After nearly 900 hours of exploring Balder's Gate 3, I finally decided to embark on an origin character run, and it’s been a completely fresh experience. Karlach aligns perfectly with my chaotic good playstyle, and I plan to stay true to most of the origin characters as they are in the game or how they’re initially presented. Going into this playthrough mostly blind has been exciting—no one warned me about some of the surprises I’d encounter, which only adds to the thrill. I'm playing on Tactician difficulty without save scumming, and so far, I haven’t experienced a party wipe, which I intend to keep that way! Almost through Act One, I just need to conquer the Underdark and visit the Githyanki Creche. The adventure keeps getting better! 😎
