Many artists need to work together to deliver Diablo IV with the top-tier visual quality we can be proud of and the promise of an immersive world you can wander through and enjoy getting lost in. And keep in mind the images you'll see today still represent a work in progress! You can also see how much closer we're getting to our artistic and thematic targets of dark, low-fantasy gothic horror. It's difficult for these updates to showcase all the work our engineers, designers, artists, QA team, and producers have done-how do you show a bug that doesn't happen anymore, or explain how the planning in a burn-down chart resulted in a feature making it into the game instead of getting cut? While you can't see those things, you can see how systems like itemization and skill trees have evolved, incorporating your feedback and internal testing along the way. I'm struck by how much the game has evolved since our first blogs. That blog and our previous updates are available if you missed out. We hope you enjoyed last quarter's update on systems, itemization, and visual effects. Nonetheless, in the interest of roleplaying, the option is there.Hello and welcome to the first Diablo IV Quarterly Update of 2022. However, Larian does offer a caveat, drawing attention to the fact that an Origin story and their class are deeply intertwined. And if prior character choices are not performing as well as expected, players will be able to respec their entire party in Baldur’s Gate 3. A skill tree boasting twenty-five mind-flayer-inspired abilities is there for players to indulge in or not, irrespective of the class chosen during character creation.

What is probably the final Community Update before release goes on to discuss elements of Baldur’s Gate 3 that have been previously alluded to or left fans asking questions. A “good CPU and a GeForce 3060” would allegedly allow for 1440p at 60 FPS, with GeForce 4080/90 recommended for a 4K display, though using NVIDIA’s DLSS will likely enable less powerful setups to push beyond their usual limits. However, for those with desktops and more expensive rigs, Baldur’s Gate 3 is confirmed to be playable in 4K and on ultrawide monitors.

Larian also notes that it is working to have Baldur’s Gate 3 ‘Steam Deck Verified’ for launch as Steam considers the game ‘Playable’ on the Deck at the time of writing.
