Hey everyone! I mainly get to game while working from home since I’m also taking care of my one-year-old. I often play games that don’t really require sound, like Minecraft, because I have to wear a headset for my call center job. I recently bought Baldur’s Gate 3 and I’m wondering whether I can play it without sound during work hours or if I should save it for late-night gaming sessions. Is the game pauseable, by the way? Thanks in advance!

I frequently play without sound, and it’s totally doable! The voice acting and sound effects are fantastic, so you might miss some immersion, but the gameplay mechanics let you manage things without it. Just remember, the game has turn-based combat, so you can take your time!
If it’s your first playthrough, I definitely recommend experiencing the sound, especially since the game has some great music and voice acting. But if you already know the game well, playing without sound isn’t a deal-breaker.
Yes, the game is pauseable! You can easily pause during combat and free action parts, but note that cutscenes will keep playing if you’re occupied. While you don’t strictly need sound, the music and voice acting really add to the experience—especially in key moments, so try to play with sound when you can!
