My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way paused a recent concert to discuss Baldur's Gate 3 with fans, admitting he hasn't had the time to play Larian's RPG yet despite being a fan of the original game and classic D&D adaptations.
Even rock royalty struggles to find the hundreds of hours needed for modern mega RPGs. During a recent My Chemical Romance concert, singer, songwriter, and comic book writer Gerard Way took a brief moment to chat with fans about Larian Studios' massive hit, Baldur's Gate 3. As reported by IGN and captured on TikTok by user Katana Luciana, a fan in the crowd hoisted a banner asking the musician if he had finally dived into the acclaimed fantasy adventure. Way admitted to the packed venue that he has not yet played the threequel, noting that time has simply not been on his side.
Rather than brushing off the sign, Way engaged with the crowd about the series' classic roots. He shared that his personal history with the franchise actually dates all the way back to the original Baldur's Gate and the Icewind Dale expansions, fondly remembering how those early PC titles served as the closest digital approximations of tabletop Dungeons and Dragons at the time. When the crowd confirmed that Larian's latest entry is indeed worth playing, Way seemed genuinely intrigued before returning to the setlist.
It is a fun crossover between music fandom and gaming culture that proves just how deeply Baldur's Gate 3 has permeated the broader entertainment zeitgeist. Between touring and creative projects, finding the time for a massive campaign is tough for anyone, even genre veterans.
