Baldur's Gate 3

For pros, this game looks really good. Really detailed, nice current-level graphics and lighting and all of that... ... But it's gross. The scripted characters range from utterly uncompelling to completely disgusting, such as that warlock with the succubus liking his face I see every other loading screen. It's disgusting enough that it makes me just not want to play. As an exception to the characters generally, I will say that the vampire's romance path actually borders on interesting given what it entails. The woman who replaced Sarevok's deep voice as narrator? It's not Sarevok. This game is somewhat difficult. Baldur's Gate was a fantastic entrance into D&D for someone who had only played JRPGs before, and Baldur's Gate II wasn't too much harder to start with, but this is utterly unforgiving by comparison. One of BG2's few weaknesses was that it started with a long, tedious, uncomfortable dungeon, and it's a mistake this game makes right off the bat in trying to escape the nautiloid. BG1's leaving home into some light woods and to a friendly town was a far more comfortable, gradual foray into a 100+ hour adventure. I'm not into the grit and looting, I enjoy D&D for large and expansive worlds with a variety of climates and goals. The game is over sixty gigabytes. That's a rough download, especially for something as cumbersome to patch as the offline installer is in which you must apply every patch in sequence, and it sometimes still doesn't even work. I've just started using GOG Galaxy, and specifically to see if it keeps this game updated more easily without having to re-download the whole new thing. Finally, of course, is paying full game price for something unfinished. I can't play as an Aasimar, I can't be a cleric unless I declare some pagan deity or at least typing out good old "Jesus", it's just all bleh. So far all I've learned from early access is that this isn't Baldur's Gate. Perhaps some generic new title would suit it better.

I had a bunch of issues, first it took half a day to download, then 2 hours to install, notifications of file erros that after installing gog launcher and verifying files which did nothing eventually a reddit suggested move/delete the 2 specic offending files. was forced to update vid drivers which triggered a conflict which turned out after 2 revert/update of drivers and 3 uninstall/reinstall to be the logitech peripheral software that installs itself in windows when you connnect a mouse. suffice to say it ruined the game for me and I asked for a refund, too hard to get over the bad experience

very noice

Enjoying every minute of this game. Forced my non gamer girl to try this (dumb move), now I have much less time to finish my playtrough and try another aproach on the second one :) Just buy it already, you wont regret it ;)

I would like to give this game a good review, but I can't get past the beginning part of the game. Once I try to take over the mind flare's flying nautilus the game crashes. For some reason the game will check into the GOG Galaxy App and then the game crashes. So, 1 star due to GOG. If i tell the Galaxy apps to check \ repair the game ... nothing happens it just sits there for hours, and nothing gets done. We tried downloading the offline packages, but it would take 1/2 a day to download them all due to GOG's slow connection speed. 20 minutes for two 4gb files ... I'm on a 10gb fiber connection averaging 9gb down and 7-9gb up no idea why the game has to download for 30-50mb a sec off the GOG app and much slower on the direct download. I can download Starfield from MS in 10minutes and for most Steam games 10 -15 that are around the same size. 500- 700Mb or more a sec. One other complaint, if you have the game installed through Galaxy you cannot play the game while being logged into a 2nd computer account on the same desktop. So, if your kids wants to play the game under their profile, Galaxy will not allow the game to launch, unless you sign out of the app on the other profile. Poorly designed software.
