Although Larian Studios’Baldur’s Gate 3didn’t run away with all the awards it was nominated for, the beloved RPG still dominated.
In total,BG3walked away with five Baftas, which is a mighty fine haul considering the sheer range of talent that was on display.

It’s the Best Game for a reason, so don’t snooze onBaldur’s Gate 3and check out the trailer below
As a huge fan of the game, being able to watchBG3take home the gold, so to speak, was incredible; the energy was palpable.
Upon accepting the award, Larian’s Swen Vincke said, “I still can’t believe we’re standing here. A lot of people put a lot of heart and soul into makingBaldur’s Gate 3, so this is amazing - thank you Bafta, thank you everybody.”

Of course, it wasn’t just the Best Game category the iconic RPG won. It also claimed awards in the Narrative, Performer in a Supporting Role – which went to Andrew Wincott’s Raphael – EE Players’ Choice, and Music categories.
Whatwasa surprise, albeit a pleasant one, was seeingMarvel’s Spider-Man 2’sMiles Moralesactor, Nadji Jeter, take home the Bafta for best Performer in a Leading Role.
Many critics had assumed, given his popularity, that Neil Newbon, akaBG3’s Astarion, would easily win that one. Although shocking for some viewers, I’m sure die-hard Astarion fans will agree that Jeter was equally deserving of the award.
Although Larian has confirmed thatthe future of the franchise is bad(mostly for the fandom), it’s wonderful knowing that the six years Larian spent on this legendary game was worth every second.
