I haven’t played BG1 or BG2, but so far I haven’t felt that BG3 requires prior knowledge in order to understand the story. As for DND knowledge, the only things I know about the game are from the bits and pieces that I glean from watching Critical Role. BG3 is doing a wonderful job filling in the missing pieces of knowledge with really handy tooltips and descriptions of how everything works. If anything, it’s probably the most interesting primer to DND I’ve ever encountered.

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
