Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General I never played D&D 5ed and my knowledge stopped with D&D 3rd. What can I expect from BG3?

BG3 is based loosely on 5e. Expect a Larian DOS 2 blended with 5e, and lots of gimmicks and extremes. Shove/Throw should be 5 feet, but it can be 30+ feet. Jump should be more normal. Expect to jump over people, and expect some enemies to Hulk Stomp you... Not 5e, by the way.

Remember the Intellect Devourer in Neverwinter Nights? The ones in BG3 will not act like that did. No devour intellect or body thief.

That's the kind of stuff you can expect. Kinda D&D in many ways, but not really. We're fighting for a more 5e experience.
