The die is rolled and has been cast; it’s a six both ways! Belgian game studio Larian Studios’ Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)-based roleplaying video game, Baldur’s Gate III, bagged six trophies in the recently concluded The Game Awards 2023 in Los Angeles, including the Game of the Year award. Inspired by the 1974 cult-favourite board game, it won the best RPG, best multiplayer game, best community support, and the player’s choice categories, while actor Neil Newbon won Best Performance for his role as Astarion. The win is being dubbed as the emergence of an underdog.
