Balder's Gate 3

The writhing pulse of the tadpole thrums behind your eyes, whispering promises and possibilities. Before your story can unfold, you must decide: who are you, and where will you begin?

Step 1: Choose Your Protagonist

Are you the battered Outlander, a stranger with magic and steel? The battle-hardened Githyanki warrior with a blade always at the ready? The troubled cleric, shadowed by her secrets? Or perhaps you inhabit the mind of another: one of the companions, a villain, or even an original soul touched by the tadpole’s corruption.

Step 2: Decide Your Place in the Story

Will you rewrite the tale from the very beginning, awakening inside the fleshy pods of the Nautiloid ship, ready to shape destiny from the first choices?

Or do you arrive later, inserting yourself into the party after fateful events have already begun to spiral, with history and relationships ripe for subtle manipulation?

Perhaps you seek only a single moment; a short story, an encounter, a temptation; unbound by canon, inspired by what might have been.

Step 3: How Deep Will You Go?

Full Rewrite: Embark on a journey that rewrites the saga from its very first moments. Forge new alliances, reshape relationships, and let mind control and psychic influence guide every step.

Branching Tale: Insert your will at a chosen point in the established story, twisting a specific scene or event with newfound power.

Short Story: Pluck a single thread. A night by the campfire, an unexpected alliance, a forbidden temptation; and see where the tadpole’s influence leads.

In this anthology, every story is a new reality. Every choice can echo forever. Decide your path… and let the power of the tadpole guide you.
