Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Classes

Larian Studios release Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access on Steam over a year and a half ago. It’s slated to be one of the best RPG video games ever made. Its gameplay is based on the popular table-top role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, rule-set. Larian Studios has stated they’re hoping for a late 2022 full release, but haven’t committed to a specific date.

While the early access version of the game has fairly extensive character creation, there are still a number of missing races and subclasses from the player’s handbook that have yet to be added.
