, a crime Larian Studios is eager to remedy as soon as is humanly possible.

There are less conspicuous places to announce the gaps in your video game knowledge than to around 90,000 fans in a sold-out concert, but Way has never been one to do things by half. A question emerged from the crowd in between songs asking whether the singer had ever played Baldur's Gate 3.

"No, I only played Baldur's Gate 1," he said in response. "Not that I probably wouldn't have liked two and three. I did play the Icewind Dale expansion; I just ran out of time, y'know?"

, and might be more easily grabbed for attention on the matter.

Outside of that, you may need to contact their PR and hope the request gets through. I interviewed Way once upon a time, through DC Comics, so getting him on the line isn't impossible. Roll for it, Larian, and see what happens.
