An ordinary fantasy adventure in the continent of Faerun

Somewhere called Earth.

"So boring, so boring! I'm going to die without Baldur's Gate 4!"

As he said this, he suddenly leaned back on the bed and started to roll around.

My name is Liu Angsheng, I'm 22 years old, my home is on the east side of a certain mountain, I'm unmarried, I'm an ordinary college student, I go home at 8 o'clock at the latest every day, I don't smoke, I only drink a little, I go to bed before 1 o'clock in the morning, I sleep for eight hours a day, I drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed, I lie on the bed and sleep until dawn, the doctor said I'm normal.

As for why I look like I have a severe Internet addiction now, it's all because of a game that was released some time ago, called Baldur's Gate 3.

In Liu Angsheng's mind, this game has reached a point that has never been seen before and will never be seen again, and it can be said to be the first among the same type of RPG games!

Liu Angsheng has been playing since the day it was released, and he has completed it five or six times so far, but he is still addicted.

The most interesting and different thing about this game is that it has too much content. A complete game process takes about 60 hours, but every time you experience it, you can discover some new content that you haven't discovered before.

Hidden terrain hidden in hidden corners, legendary weapons buried in ancient ruins, dead wood monsters hiding in the grass on the roadside, all of these are just the tip of the iceberg in this game. This novel experience makes him linger and forget to return. It can be called a masterpiece that is unparalleled in ancient and modern times.

However, even this kind of masterpiece will inevitably fall into a period of fatigue after playing it for more than five or six times in a row. Although some small surprises still exist, the general plot has already become a little tired because of too many experiences.

So the only thing he can do now is to look forward to the subsequent works of the game while going crazy in bed and enduring this painful window period.

"Empty, lonely, cold..."

And at this moment, a message suddenly popped up in the SM game center on the mobile phone.

[Ding! Congratulations to this player! You are the 9999th player who has been successfully fooled - no, you are the player who has successfully won the prize! You are lucky to get the legendary game expansion pack!]

[Please choose a game you like and enter the activation code in the game! From now on, the legendary hidden game mode will be opened! Experience the refreshing game life that exceeds 100% realism! What are you waiting for? Pick up the phone (cross out) and experience it quickly!]

? ? ?

What is this?

Just two paragraphs almost burned his brain CPU. Can the reason for winning the prize be more nonsense? And what is this reward? I have never heard of it.

And this slogan, in his impression, this is an advertising model from many years ago. A full smell of cheap web games came to his face, and the words revealed a sense of joking as if you were a fool.

If this was not a message from the official game, he would have thought it was a scam.

"Wait, today seems to be April Fool's Day. Could it be an April Fool's Day Easter egg released by the game officials?"

"Forget it, never mind. It's released by the game officials after all. Even if it's an April Fool's Day joke, it should be quite interesting. Let's take a look."

With this mentality, Liu Angsheng opened the game page of Baldur's Gate and entered the activation code.

Then the computer screen went black instantly.

"Huh?"

Just when Liu Angsheng thought he was fooled, the computer suddenly turned on again with a bang, and then quickly updated at lightning speed, showing a lot of new game content.

"Wow, Sir, are you serious?"

Clicking in excitedly, what caught my eye was a more gorgeous character creation interface and a new background setting, as well as more but smaller game content.

First, check out the two most conspicuous new game settings.

One is that the character creation interface can select new subspecies and a very small number of mutant individuals of the selected race, and the other is the new background setting, which will be associated with the previous professions that have never been heard of.

Liu Angsheng began to check them one by one excitedly.

First, the background, which is the life experience of the character that must be selected when the game starts to create a character. Different backgrounds have different skill bonuses. There are 11 different backgrounds in the original game.

They are - Acolyte, Swindler, Criminal, Artist, Civilian Hero, Guild Craftsman, Noble, Barbarian, Wise, Soldier, and Street Child.

You can only choose one background, and after selecting it, it will bring two skill bonuses of the background. However, the background did not have much impact in the original game, but this update has added a huge number of background branch options.

For example, the original meaning of the barbarian is a person who grew up in the wilderness and away from civilized society. The skills brought are sports and survival. If you choose this background, you will only be suitable for the barbarian profession, because the professional skills brought by this background are most in line with the barbarian.

Now if you choose this background again, more than a dozen detailed divisions will pop up.

These divisions are rangers, trappers, guides, exiles, self-employed farmers, bounty hunters, pilgrims, nomadic barbarians, gatherers, looting barbarians, and abandoned people.

These detailed divisions are your pre-professions in the game. Only when your pre-professions reach the maximum level, that is, level 10, can you truly become a combat profession.

As for why this is the case, the explanation given by the setting is that professionals are very powerful, and without sufficient training or accumulation of sufficient knowledge, it is impossible to become a real professional.

Then let's talk about the pre-professions. These detailed divisions will not only list your life experiences more clearly, but also specialize your abilities in certain aspects.

As you can see from the names, these different pre-professions will bring you related skills and even expertise.

For this reason, all the backgrounds will no longer serve only a single profession. The detailed division of professions in any background can be related to other professions in some way, which directly makes the game choices more free and real.

Then there is the character creation race. In this game, like the background, there are 11 races for you to choose. Each race has its own unique racial talents or expertise. In the same race, some have subspecies, such as tieflings, elves, and dragonborn, while some do not, such as humans, half-orcs, and Githyanki.

And now all the races that originally had no subspecies have added new subspecies, among which humans and tieflings have added the most subspecies.

Humans added detailed subspecies, or nationalities, of various regions, while tieflings listed the bloodlines of almost all devil lords in the Nine Hells, which amounted to more than a dozen.

Some of these races also added new additional modules, such as the Dragonborn, which originally had the largest number of subspecies, and now has added blood deepening, which can gradually transform into a dragon according to the growth of the occupation level.

Another example is the tiefling, which has added additional variants. It is possible that they are different from other tribesmen at birth, grow new organs and gain additional abilities, which is the so-called high-concentration devil blood anti-ancestor variant, but still have not left the tiefling race.
