'''Early Access''', or ''EA'' | '''Early Access''', or ''EA'', is the funding and development model for games of [[Larian Studios]]. | ||
'''Early Access''' is an ''unfinished'' and ''unpolished'' version of the main game. Players can help the development of the game by providing feedback or reporting bugs. | |||
Larian Studios decided to follow this model for Baldur’s Gate 3 after seeing its continuous successes in their previous games: '''Divinty: Original Sin''' and '''Divinity: Original Sin 2'''. | |||
Baldur's Gate 3 | The first released Early Access version of '''Baldur's Gate 3''' was on October 6th, 2020. Since then, Larian has released multiple patches fixing bugs and changing or adding content depending on the users' feedbacks. Many playable [[Character_Creation#Playable_Classes|Classes]], [[Character_Creation#Playable_Races|Races]], [[Companions]] and [[Quest|Quests]] are not availble in Early Access. | ||
Early Access version of Baldur's Gate 3 costs 60 US Dollars and will remain the same price on full release. Early Access buyers '''do not''' have to pay for the game again on full release. | |||
Updates of Early Access consist of '''Hotfixes'''; which are updates that focus on fixing a certain amount of usually game-breaking bugs or crashes, and '''Patches'''; which are updates usually surpassing 50 GB in size and added or vastly modified content and improved stability. | |||
