Baldur’s Gate 3 reacts to the player’s choices in numerous ways, but one enemy will roast your relatives if you pick a specific character class at the start of the game.
In D&D/Baldur’s Gate 3, Sorcerers are spellcasters with a natural connection to magic. This usually means that one of their ancestors was a supernatural being, such as a dragon, demon, angel, genie, or elemental monster.
