Gerard Way, the frontman of My Chemical Romance and a known Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast, recently took a moment during a concert to address fan inquiries about Baldur's Gate 3. While Way has not yet had the opportunity to play Larian Studios' critically acclaimed RPG, he shared his history with the series and his current perception of the game with the audience.
A fan-held banner at a recent live show posed the question of whether Way had played Baldur's Gate 3. The singer noticed the banner and responded, "No, I only played Baldur's Gate 1... Not that I probably wouldn't have liked 2 or 3. I did play the Icewind Dale expansion, but I just ran out of time, y'know."
Way acknowledged the significant time commitment required for a game as extensive as Baldur's Gate 3. He noted that his previous engagement with the series, specifically Baldur's Gate 1 and the Icewind Dale expansion, was enjoyable, describing the original as "the closest thing at the time to playing D&D." Despite the constraints of a live performance, he expressed curiosity about the reception of Larian's latest installment, asking the crowd if the game was good.
Fans of both My Chemical Romance and the Baldur's Gate series may hope that Way will find time to experience Baldur's Gate 3 in the future. His comments suggest a continued appreciation for the RPG genre and the Dungeons & Dragons experience it replicates.
