Never played Baldur's gate or even heard of the game outside of D&D. Should I play 1 and 2 before getting 3?

Nah no need, though they are good games if you can get past their age. You just won't get any references to the old games but they're inconsequential to the plot. If you want there's some pretty good little story breakdowns of 1 and 2 on YouTube that'll give you the gist if you want the full picture.

I just smoked a bunch of weed and watched the recent Chris Pine movie

That's a real solid movie

Yes, but what's the latest on Chancelor Jarnathan? Is he close by? Based on what I know about him I think he would be especially receptive to the movie
