I've been doing a lot of reading and watching videos for the upcoming Baldurs Gate 3 game and I am excited to play what looks to be an incredible adventure. The plethora of choices in questing, the in-depth character customization, the "bang for your buck" amount of content.. I could go on and on. It looks like it could have everything I would want in a game.
There is just one problem. I have never played a Baldurs Gate game before. Even searching YouTube hasn't led me to a source for understanding the complexity of the game. I see a lot of videos describing classes and tips, but not a general explanation of how the game actually plays. Also of note, I have never played a tabletop RPG game before. I saw at the GameStop website that Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 were made for the PS4... But with the game coming out in a little over a month (PS5 here), I wonder if it is even worth trying to hunt down a copy.
Is anybody aware of a great source where I can learn the mechanics of the game and try to get a grasp for what I am doing. I would hate to make terrible decisions at the start due to general incompetence. Even a great source on YouTube that I may have missed in my searching would be helpful.
