Unleash the Adventure: Baldur’s Gate 3 on an Immersive Gaming Projector

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a role-playing game developed by Larian Studios and is available on Steam, PS5, and GOG.com. It won the 2023 Game of the Year Award, Best Community Support, Best RPG (role-playing game), Best Multiplayer, and the voice of Astarion (Neil Newbon) won Best Performance. Based on the tabletop game, Dungeon’s & Dragons, the game offers an adventure in the Forgotten Realms where every decision you make affects the outcome of the story. With different platforms to play on, there are several ways you can decide to experience the game. However, if you want fully immersive gameplay, the best way to experience the game is on the X3100i gaming projector from BenQ. Welcome to the BenQ Game Zone Series!

Character Creation

Your journey begins with the creation of your character, with seemingly endless options for looks! You begin by selecting the Race and subrace of the character: Elf, Dragonborn, Dwarf, Drow, Githyanki, Gnome, Halfling, Human, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, or Tiefling. After you’ve chosen your race and subrace, you can design every single detail of your character, from hair styles, face shapes, scars, tattoos, and more! While some race choices, such as Dragonborn, affect the style options, the majority of style choices are available for every race. This is the perfect opportunity to design your dream fantasy character or try out various styles to see what looks good. Don’t worry, if want to change your style later on in the game all you have to do is locate the Magic Mirror in your camp and use it to make adjustments.

While many games offer character creation options, Baldur’s Gate 3 has one of the best, in-depth character creation menus available, with many players spending over an hour designing every single detail of their character. The easiest way to design your character is with an immersive viewing screen. On a monitor or TV, depending on the size and setup, you may have to lean in to see the options available, even if you zoom into your character’s face. However, on a gaming projector with adjustable screen size, such as the X3100i, you can easily create your character without having to lean in close to the screen or constantly zoom in and out on your character. Take full advantage of this opportunity to create your dream character without missing a single detail!

Once you’ve finalized your looks, you’ll select the class, and potential subclass, you want to play as. Clothes and weapons are determined by this class and cannot be adjusted before selection. Next you select your background and abilities, rounding out your character and the design you’ve chosen. You can scroll through the menu options at any point and make adjustments to your character should you change your mind based on the class you’ve selected. You can also design your Guardian to the same extent you created your character, however this is a good time to test out the randomize option and see what you get!

The Beauty of the Forgotten Realms

In the land of the Forgotten Realms, there is beauty everywhere, even in the shadow-cursed forests or magical caverns of the Underdark. The screen size and quality you utilize directly affect your gameplay, especially when looking for treasure or hidden paths to explore. Baldur’s Gate 3 offers complete freedom to explore and interact with the lands as you experience the cinematic narrative that brings the adventure to life.

On the X3100i gaming projector, you can adjust your screen size based on your space and get lost in the details it provides. Here, you can see the trees sway in the wind, the shadows move with the sun, and the colors of the land are vibrant and crisp. In the top right you can see all of the details on the world map without obscuring the details on your screen, and to the left your party members list is clearly visible and easily accessible.

As you come across enemies or challenges, it’s easy to see whose turn it is, who is wounded, or who you have selected thanks to the BenQ CinematicColor technology and 4LED color volume provided by the projector. The attack options and weapons menu are clearer as well, making it easier to select the right choice to face any challenge or problem with confidence. Remember, success also falls on the roll of the dice!

Being able to see every detail is crucial for an open-world RPG like this. On a TV, gaming monitor, or handheld device (such as the PlayStation Portal - pictured left), details, menus, and maps become compact and more difficult to see. Even with a high-resolution screen, you’re more likely to miss out on treasures you’d be able to see on a gaming projector!

Every decision you make, from what attack to use in battle to how you respond to your party members, drives the story forward. Exploration is crucial to understanding the world and unlocking key aspects of the story. Fully immerse yourself in the story as you discover the vast, detailed, and diverse world within the Forgotten Realms on a gaming projector.

Expand the Adventure with Multiplayer

Winning the Best Multiplayer award was no surprise as Baldur’s Gate 3 was designed with group games in mind. Just like with Dungeon’s & Dragons, you and your friends can build your party to go on the adventure together, supporting each other with various skills and character abilities. Who amongst your party has the luck of the dice on their side?

If you play online, you won’t be sacrificing any of your screen space and can enjoy the adventure on any device. However, if you play with a group on the same device, you’ll have to split the screen for everyone to see their character, which cuts out much of what you need to see to go on your journey. This is not possible on a monitor screen and varies based on your TV size, but with a gaming projector you won’t have to worry about missing out on the adventure! With RPG Mode, 3D Surround Sound, and 4K visuals, the X3100i gaming projector is the best way to game with friends without missing any details.
