Baldur's Gate 3

just like namord said we dont buy gog games to be watched this is absured the amount of stuff i need to just play the game i bought

You already know the game is great, everyone told you for the past year and a half. Why are you still reading this? Buy the game and start playing.

The best game in last 20 years! Larian gave us something one in a lifetime.

Look, this game is great. There's a lot to like about it. But, wow, there is so much just outright bad about it. Larian did a passable job adapting 5th Edition to a video game, but, wow, that limitation really sucks a lot of joy out of this game. A D20 makes sense at a table top. Something that wildly random in a video game, though? It makes every skill check a pain that encourages save scumming. Also, people are so complimentery about how many different ways you can go about things, but, really, it's nothing new. And it breaks entirely too often. The whole Mol thing in the first act is so limiting that I'm amazed it's not talked about more often And this isn't even getting into what is just an outright terrible story pacing. It's always nice to know your character's context in a world, and BG3 gives you none of that. You get to randomly say that you're a Baldurian at times, and that's about it. Why is it called Baldur's Gate if we only get to the city at the very end? The city is a character in itself in the setting, but this game decides that the most generic fantasy forest setting should be where we spend the first chunk of the game Overall, this is the ultimate example of a 3/5 in gaming but is treated as the greatest game ever made by so many people who clearly lack any historical context for this game or its genre

@kromienkeli pointed some good point about graphic it's not BG legacy. I would prefer more darker theme and accent. Surely it has some resemblance to D:OS however after going to Underdark I just embraced that shitty sentiment to BG1&2 graphic and started to love that new graphic design. , However that game is DEFENITELY BALDURS GATE. I will point out why in bullet points: - action of that game will be in F*CK*NG Baldurs Gate city. - there will be Minsc&Boo and Drizzt (already hinted in EA) - story will resolve around Bhaal, Myrkul and Bane - we got already everything what has been in BG saga (Underdark, Ilithids, Observers, Githyanki, dragons, strange undead as an ally, non-linear history and decisions which are impactful on game world, great written companions, romances, good narrative) Complaining about graphic design and lack of active pause is nonsens. I understand that because I've had the same skeptical point of view. In the end I've spent 270h+ in early access and I love it. I even played S:OD and BG1&2 recently to compare these titles with BG3 and I can honestly say that the new Baldur is not another D:OS. Only truly a worthy successor to the Baldur's Gate saga. The 3D graphics, no active pause, and starting the game on the beach may actually resemble D:OS, but those are the only similarities.
