In Baldur's Gate 3, players get thrust in the middle of a mind flayer invasion of Faerûn. They need to force a parasite out of their bodies before it transforms them into mind flayers themselves. Such a complicated premise fully represents the craziness of Dungeons and Dragons games as a whole. Larian Studios' take on narrative in RPGs may make this Baldur's Gate iteration their most immersive RPG yet.
