I’m diving into Baldur’s Gate 3 for the first time! I’d love to hear any class recommendations or strategies you all might have for a newbie like me. What should I focus on to have the best experience?

I suggest not stressing over optimized builds for your first run. The key is to enjoy the game and try out different things. Classes based on Charisma like Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, or Paladin can be quite useful since they can help with dialogue checks too.
If you’re looking for a good balance, consider a College of Swords Bard. You’ll excel in both talking your way through situations and handling combat effectively. It’s a great class for a first-timer!
I went with a Warlock, specifically a Great Old One. It’s important to find a build that clicks for you, especially regarding your party’s dynamics. But honestly, just have fun with it! No matter what class you pick, enjoy the adventure!
I’d suggest trying out a Paladin. They’re strong in combat and can provide healing to your team. I play one and have found it really rewarding, plus they can hit hard!
A bard is a fantastic choice! It’s versatile and lets you explore spellcasting while being effective in combat. I recommend going for the Lore Bard for spells and bardic inspiration. Make sure to snag spells like Tasha’s Hideous Laughter and Glyph of Warding early on—they’re super fun! Just choose what sounds enjoyable for you!
