There will be a lot of choices to be made in Baldurs Gate 3. Many will have to do with different stories, quests, interactions and even relationships within the game. What Larian Studios does well with their games is they make it feel very much like the player’s choices matter. This can alter the entire game even with the story being a little more mapped out. How players get there and to certain endings is their decicision.

When looking more into the game it is one that poeple have had early access to for awhile. But this was still a very limited version of the game. Realistically it was a good amount of the first act but considering the game is expected to take around 100 hours to beat, this is still not much overall. That means there is a ton of new content coming with the full release.

There is an official response to what player’s should decide by Larian Studios. Below is the most important part.

“Vulkan presents a potential performance increase over DX11 in most cases, though may be slightly less stable for now. We generally recommend you use Vulkan, the default Graphics API.”

This has not been updated with the official launch of the game. The recommendations are back from when the Early Access game came out. So things have likely been updated which means that Vulkan may be more stable for players to tryout.
