Here are the types of Background Goals you’ll need to complete for each Background to earn Inspiration Points in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Baldur’s Gate 3, as expected from a game set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons, brings the TTPRG experience with the Inspiration and Background Goals systems that reward you for role-playing.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, attributes such as Strength or Intelligence are important, but they are not the only aspects of your character that matters during your journey. A character’s Background is also a key feature that allows you to establish their motivations in the world. To reward you for knowing what they want in the complex and dense world of Baldur’s Gate, the game has the Inspiration Points system.
But earning Inspiration Points is not as simple as it looks. In this Baldur’s Gate 3 guide, we cover not only what Inspiration Points are but also summarize Background Goals that must be completed to gain these valuable points.What are Inspiration Points in Baldur’s Gate 3
In Baldur’s Gate 3, your characters can earn Inspiration Points that can be spent to reroll an Ability Check. In other words, you can use them to redo a failed dice roll.
Just like in the TTRPG, when you try to perform an action, you’ll face a test. The success of your action depends on getting an equal or higher number than the Difficulty Class for that specific situation, with a dice roll plus modifiers.
If you get a lower number or a one, it’s considered that you have failed the test. By having at least one Inspiration Point, you can spend it to try the roll again. While spending Inspiration Points doesn’t guarantee a better result, it’s still a useful tool that can save your characters in some situations.How to earn Inspiration Points in Baldur’s Gate 3
Now, Inspiration Points are rare; you only earn them when performing actions that follow the principles of your character’s Background, by completing hidden achievements called Background Goals.
When creating a new character, you must choose a Background. These Backgrounds can be understood as archetypes that explain things such as where your character is from or how they approach the world around them.
