Revolutionary RPG Baldur's Gate 3 kicks off with an unforgettable jaunt aboard a Mindflayer Nautiloid, with the interplanar vessel fatefully arriving in Avernus, the Dungeons & Dragons' equivalent of biblical hell. Developer Larian Studios has revealed that two copies of the game were purchased in Vatican City, the world's smallest micro-state, the seat of the Catholic Church, and the home of the Pope himself; which just goes to show the game's incredible reach.
With 764 residents living in a sacred .044 square kilometres in the heart of Rome, Vatican City is largely the province of priests, bishops, and their iconic protectors, the Swiss Guard. Larian publishing director Michael Douse has revealed that two copies of the game were purchased within the religious enclave, with a third copy added to a wishlist on Steam. That's Pope Francis holding out for a sale, then.
