Larian Studios has revealed a bunch of stats for its latest RPG, Baldur’s Gate 3, showing the most romanced character, the most popular classes and how many players got turned into a sentient wheel of cheese, among many other things. The survey presumably gathered data across both PC and PS5, revealing that over 1.3 million players also managed to complete the game to the end and see the credits.
Firstly, the stats for Baldur’s Gate 3 reveal that 94% of players opted to make a custom character as opposed to use an Origin character. Players also spent a combined 8,196 years in character creator – we can’t blame them. 1.24 million players were also transformed into a sentient wheel of cheese.

Finally, 51.3% of players decided to pick Shadowheart as the most romanced character in Baldur’s Gate 3. Karlach got second place while Lae’zel got third place.
