It’s wild that I’ve experienced two of what seem to be the best games ever in a span of a few months. I don’t have any D&D experience, but I’m really using BG3 to learn more about it and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve been a fan of the Zelda franchise since the original launched, and TotK is just incredible. Both of these games are amazing, even if they have different goals.

I haven't played this Baldur's Gate game yet, I will. Someone else will have to tell you if it's using 5th or 6th edition rules. Bear in mind that BG has always been a really good [battle section] simulator for D&D. The storylines are always interesting, but there's really no role-play, at least not like when playing with paper and dice. It should be a good primer for you though.

5th edition. Been in development too long to use 6th!

Oh well that's good! The even numbered editions always seem to be the least popular rule sets

Second ed was great :)

There is not a 6th edition of d&d yet
