Video Games To Play If You Like Dungeons Dragons

From Prophet of AI


Even after all the strides that Bethesda has taken in the RPG genre, some people still argue that Morrowind is one of their finest and most immersive titles by far. The unwavering focus on role-playing coupled with a massive world that players can get lost in makes for a truly great t


Regarded as one of several crown jewels in BioWare's catalog, the Knights of the Old Republic games are essentially D&D campaigns set within the Star Wars universe. The rules and mechanics aren't a direct mirror of D&D , but they're more than familiar and comfortable for anyone who has played the latter. The saga of Darth Revan provides a gripping narrative for both games, and the characters are incredibly well-writ

The Trickery Domain grants powers of illusion and misdirection , and is a Domain granted by many chaotic and mischievous deities. At level one, Trickery Domain Clerics gain "Blessing of the Trickster", allowing them to grant a creature in range (1.5m) advantage on stealth checks until the Cleric loses concentration. This can be fantastic when used in conjunction with a rogue, allowing them to easily scout ahead or dip out of combat to reposition and set up a sneak attack.

Being a Dwarf means having a slightly reduced total Movement Distance, but what it lacks in mobility it makes up for with Dwarven Resilience, Superior Darkvision, and several weapon proficiencies Clerics don't normally have.

At level three, Trickery Domain Clerics gain "Mirror Image" and "Pass Without Trace" as Domain Spells, allowing them to increase their AC with illusory clones and give the entire party a +10 bonus to their stealth checks. At this point, the Trickery Domain allows players to make their entire party better at evading notice and can be a fantastic support caster both in and out of combat.

The Lunar Mend ability allows the Druid to spend their spell slots to heal themselves while transformed, allowing them an alternative use for their spell slots and helping them to stay transformed longer. This heals 1d8HP per level of the spell slot used, meaning that players can burn higher-level spell slots to heal more if necessary.

The Duergar race is one of the best races for Clerics in Baldur's Gate 3 Walkthrough Gate 3 because of their powerful Duergar Resilience passive, which is granted from level 1. This passive grants Advantage against Saving Throws for being Charmed or Paralyzed by enemies, as well as against Illusion magic.

Hexblade Warlocks make a pact with a mysterious entity from the Shadowfell , manifesting as sentient magical weapons forged from shadow. Picking this subclass at level 1 will give you the ability "Hexed Warrior", which grants proficiency in medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. Using "Bind Hexed Weapon" on a weapon of their choice, they can use their Charisma Modifier instead of their Strength or Dexterity when attacking with that weapon, as long as they're proficient. A Hexed Weapon also has a chance of inflicting the Hexblade's Curse on any creature it strikes.


Tiny Tina's Wonderland is the Borderlands spin-off set in a fantasy TTRPG-inspired world where players navigate the various in-game locations just like one would move their character miniatures across a tabletop campaign, but transform into the first-person shooter playstyle of Borderlands when they arrive at their destinations. The wacky, iconic humor of Borderlands is enjoyable as ever, only with a fantasy twist and quips about goblins and tavern wenches instead of oligarchs and spacesh

Level 1 Hexblade Warlocks also receive the "Hexblade's Curse" ability , which curses a target to receive extra damage equal to the Warlock's proficiency bonus whenever the Warlock deals damage to them. It also reduces the number needed to roll a critical hit against that target by 1, and restores HP equal to the Warlock's Proficiency+Charisma Modifier when they kill the cursed target. A Hexblade Warlock gains Shield and Wrathful Smite as level 1 spell options.

This multiclass choice has little impact on a character's ability to use high-level spells. Because both classes are Prepared Spellcasters, and the ability to learn from scrolls only requires one level, a Cleric 11 Wizard 1 character will still be able to use Level 6 spells and have Level 6 spell slots unlocked.

Level 6 gives you access to "Accursed Spectre" , which allows you to raise an allied spectre from a slain enemy who was under the effects of Hexblade's Curse. Depending on the size of the enemy, you'll get a Feeble Spectre, Mundane Spectre, or Primordial Spectre. Larger Spectres have a few extra skills, and all Spectres act as useful allies in combat who can teleport to cursed targets.


Planescape: Torment features a rich story that more than makes up for its rudimentary combat. The story of the Nameless One is quite intriguing, and the fact that this game is set in locations from an established Dungeons & Dragons fantasy setting makes it a perfect recommendation in every
