Baldur's Gate 3 memes emerged as a cultural phenomenon following the game's massive success in 2023, capturing the chaotic energy of Dungeons & Dragons gameplay. The memes typically revolve around iconic characters like Astarion and Shadowheart, the omnipresent 'Authority' prompt, and the heartbreak of rolling a Natural 1 at a crucial moment. Players use these templates to satirize the game's deep choice-and-consequence system, the tendency to 'save scum' to get desired outcomes, and the surprisingly thirsty nature of the companion romances. These memes serve as a digital campfire for the community to share the relatable absurdities found within the Forgotten Realms.
