    According to Larian StudiosrCO Director of Publishing, BaldurrCOs Gate 3 has sold 2 copies in The Vatican with one Wishlist on the way.

    In what is surely a gaming first, Larian StudiosrCO Director of Publishing announced on Twitter that BaldurrCOs Gate 3 had sold two copies in The Vatican, with a third on the rCLwishlist.rCY

    ThatrCOs right. The Vatican. Does this mean the Pope is about to get in there and play a Paladin? Or do you think herCOd play the Dark Urge?
    Either way, I hope Larian can track down what paths he takes rCo because I canrCOt think of a better way to determine the, ahem, canonical ending
    than that.

    BaldurrCOs Gate 3 In The Vatican

    First up, hererCOs the official announcement:

    -a-a-a Sold 2 copies of BaldurrCOs Gate 3 in The Vatican, with 1 wishlist. IrCOd like too think the latter is just the Pope waiting until he has a
    free minute. Wish I could see their mod list. Bet itrCOs absolutely gnarly.

    Now, whatrCOs interesting is that this isnrCOt the first time The Vatican has been connected to gaming in recent months. Because earlier this
    year, the Catholic Church was on track to beatify a gamer as the first Millennial Saint. No, really.

    So, I can only imagine that this means that someone has set up a PC
    gaming rig. The question is, who? Is it actually the Pope? Is it one of
    the Papal Guard? Or one of the relatively few people who actually live there? While we donrCOt know for certain, and it would be a violation of
    all sorts of privacy laws to try and find out, the theological
    implications could be huge!

    At any rate, it is ironic see D&D go from Satanic Panic to being
    installed somewhere in the Vatican in just a few short decades. Never
    let anyone tell you who you are.

    Okay, but do you think itrCOs the Pope?

    dang, that was supposed to go to comp.sys.ibm.games.rpg

    I don't think it matters too much nowadays considering the amount of
    traffic we get.

    barely on topic for .rpg
