This week on The Besties: Baldur’s Gate 3

Listen to this week’s episode

How is this even possible?!

And how are we already asking that question again? How did Larian Studios fit so much of D&D’s creativity and improvisation into Baldur’s Gate 3? How does the game account for every absurd idea we have?

This week, we spread Baldur’s Gate 3 across both segments, then make some time to open the listener mailbag.

An elder red dragon flanked by two large wolves breathes fire at an escaping party, clambering up a set of rocks along the side of a cave.

On the topic of exceptional Android exclusives, I can't recommend Slice and Dice highly enough. It's a roguelite where you have an adventuring party where each character is a die and it is phenomenally deep. The developer has said they'd like to release it for iOS but they've been working on content updates instead because it's more interesting. https://tann.itch.io/slice-dice

The runes on Russ's (I assume) sticker made my day, thanks for that.
