Did Baldur’s Gate 3 get you into playing D&D? (Larian Studios)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Dungeons & Dragons tabletop game is getting its own Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 DLC, all about a certain fan favourite vampire.<\/p>\n

While Larian Studios continued to support Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/a> with some meaty post-launch patches, there never was, and never will be, a proper DLC expansion, as the game is effectively abandoned<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, however, are fully aware of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s popularity and are not going to want that cash cow to dry up, which is why they\u2019re planning to partner with a new, currently unnamed, studio for the inevitable Baldur\u2019s Gate 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They also appear eager to use Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s success to draw more people into Dungeons & Dragons (the tabletop role-playing game<\/a> Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is based on) as evidenced by what, on paper, is essentially Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 DLC.<\/p>\n

For context, two new D&D books \u2013 Forgotten Realms: Heroes Of Faer\u00fbn and Forgotten Realms: Adventures In Faer\u00fbn \u2013 have been announced and they offer a bevy of new content, like new subclasses and new items.<\/p>\n

The books will launch on November 11 and currently cost $59.99 (about \u00a345) and $74.99 (about \u00a355), respectively, but there is of course a more expensive Ultimate Bundle for $159.99 (about \u00a3119) that throws in several extras.<\/p>\n

One of those extras, as explained on D&D Beyond<\/a>, is a digital expansion called Astarion\u2019s Book Of Hungers and, as you can probably guess, is centred around everyone\u2019s favourite vampire party member from Baldur\u2019s Gate 3.<\/p>\n

Aside from offering new pre-built D&D adventures that let you team up with Astarion before the events of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 (complete with some new backstory for his favourite tavern), the expansion will come with new options for building vampire characters.<\/p>\n
