Have you ever wondered how many players chose to sleep with Halsin in his bear form? Are you curious about how many of us managed to complete the game on Honor Mode? Larian has a massive pile of Baldur’s Gate 3 statistics that you don’t want to miss out on. It turns out the top class picked in character creation is the Paladin. We would have guessed Fighter but that was third on the list.
