Baldur’s Gate 3 fans have created their own ad-free wiki

Corporate-owned wikis have ads and other issues, so fans have decided to go their own way

Here’s a pro-tip: if something you’re trying to look up is on a Fandom wiki, replace the “fandom.com” domain in the URL with “antifandom.com”. This removes all of the ads and autoplaying videos, and generally makes the page cleaner.

There is wiki.gg

Pretty good wiki, a lot of indies use it. For example: Dead Cells, Deep Rock Galactic, Terraria, ARK, Cuphead, Don’t Starve, Brotato, Binding of Issac, Satisfactory etc.

Some AAA games are there too. Like Sea of Thieves, Dying Light.

It would be cool if there was some wiki with ActivityPub.

Amazing the article never once mentions the sites url, or offers a direct link. Bg3.wiki say it again, bg3.wiki .

Thank you! I thought I was blind :p

to be fair a lot of the times a link like that takes you to another article of theirs about baldur gate or some shit.

Yeah I would never click that 😂 I’ve seen ads hidden in links like that with random text on the page. I’m good on all that.

I’ve found most RPG / CRPG games have really good subreddits. Most of time when I’ve needed to look up how a spell interaction works or how XYZ operations, the top search will usually lead back to Reddit (which is kinda a shame given how shithouse Reddit is now)

“CRPG”? Chinese RPG?

There are better ways of asking what something stands for if you don’t know.

Also, side note, it’s very interesting how quickly your mind jumped to Chinese when nothing here is suggesting thst even.

It stands for Corean RPG. As in North/South Corea.

The best and fastest way to get a correct answer is to post something wrong

It’s not really “interesting”? The first time I saw the term, that’s what I wondered if it might be, because of “JRPG” and all the games that had been coming out of China recently.

My mind just did the same association even though I knew the meaning.

If you remember JRPG has a J for Japan, it’s easy for your brain to go with C stands for Chinese, even if that doesn’t make sense when you really think about it.

Also, side note, just chill out with the conspiracy theories. And actually give the guy the proper explanation of what the term stands for like the comment next to yours.

Given that JRPG is “Japanese RPG” it’s not too much of a stretch to assume CRPG would be Chinese RPG.

I think it is somewhat logical as there is literally an entire massive genre of “Japanese RPG.”

There absolutely is something suggesting that: precedent. Though it could be Czech RPGs, Columbian RPGs, Cuban RPGs, or Canadian RPGs. Though Chinese RPGs would be more likely given the game Dev industry there and population.

Also the fact that outside of the tabletop community, nobody calls video game RPGs CRPGs.

No, computer, as opposed to table top, which is the classic.

Computer RPG. From TTRPG, table top RPG. Same type of game, with dice rolls and turn based (in general), only done on a computer instead of with a DM
