Baldur's Gate 3

Not sure what it is about Act but I just don't enjoy it like I enjoyed acts 1 & 2. Maybe because you suddenly can't just slaughter your way through Baldur's Gate even though the game kind of makes it seem like you'll end up doing that just trying to get into the city... It feels like a lot of plot elements fall apart in the city too or you have to do things that seem like they should have consequences but for some reason they don't where as in the rest of the game killing a random rat might even have consequences... Overall I thought Acts 1&2 were a blast though. And it felt really well thought out and designed... well except for an aspect about the map... I felt like the progression in 1&2 was well done and handled but various things fell apart in act3. As for the map, I really hate cramped convoluted but super over detailed maps. .Basically the overall size of each map is pretty small but they have "walls" all over the place to make it seem like place A and place B are really far apart even though on the map/as the crow flies A&B are next to each other. There's nothing wrong with a larger map that had some dead space in it IMO and I find it preferrable to what we have here. Also another complaint kind of. Don't bother with trying an evil play through. The game just isn't really designed to allow that in a really fun manner. It's great though as a goody-2-shoes, or even as a pragamatist, but evil.. not so much at least not if you want to also enjoy the companions

At the moment I'm having 300 hours of playtime in this game, one run as Singleplayer, one with a party of three other people and I'm planing on making at least two more runs. So much time and still I'm finding new things and new way's to approach certain problems and quest. This shows how much free will you can put into this game. From a narrative point of view it's just wonderful, the characters and voice actors are amazing. I had only one real bug where the game crashed during multiplayer but reastarting the game and all was fine. There a still patches and mods coming (July 2024), so you could wait a little longer before playing this game, if you like. But it's already one of my all time favourite game. A shame that Larian is not going to make a DLC or Addon.

The game has a very good sandbox despite the apparent lack of elemental reaction that their predecessor (Divinity Original Sins 2) had. I played it with my friends and the campaign lasted almost a year. Whereas when I played by myself, my campaign lasted 2-3 weeks. There are several creative ways to solve problems and a good variety of spells, weapons, armor and side quests. I give it a 9/10. The lack of a cape, the lack of weapons in certain weapon branches and the technical problems I had disappointed me but did not prevent me from enjoying my experience with BG3. I'm waiting for mod support, to be release in september 2024.

I have tried playing this game so many times, trying to have fun with it but I can't. I have tried playing different races, playing with party members, playing solo and all that happens is me hating this game. I finally made it to act 3 and the game literally game me a panic attack walking into the first town. I hate everything about this game, the fight mechanics, the story, the dialog, the characters, I don't even care about the scenary or the graphics. I hate how the game pushes you to have sex with every character you meet, I hate how slow the combat is and how limited your actions are, I hate having to roll for so many basic actions. I have installed and uninstalled this game three times and this is the last. If I never hear or see another thing about baldurs gate again I will be overjoyed.

With Larian Studios restricted to the worldbuilding and art style of Dungeons and Dragons they have built upon DOS2 without the overbearing sense of humour. It's fun for what is in early access.
