Baldur's Gate 3

Keine deutsche Sprachausgebe? Wer den Deutschen Markt nicht schätzt der soll darauf sitzen bleiben.

This review was written from the perspective of hating tabletop games but loving Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. I know there are many people like me, but our taste is overlooked. Pathfinder and Solasta were tedious and unplayable garbage to me. BG and NW were great because they were firstly designed as PC games, and secondly designed as D&D . I will only list the negatives because you probably know positives. - Tedious tabletop-like mechanics: D&D nerds push devs to add irritating and tedious features to games like this. BG 3 is not as bad as Pathfinder and Solasta, but still is an offender. Approximately 25% of the game involves tedious resting, sorting inventory, overcoming rest limitations, buffing the party, etc. Apparently, DND enjoy this. Fortunately, there are mods and convenience cheats to address this. - The RPG elements feel generic and unexciting. This is both because of modern fans obsession with balance and because 5th ed is just a boring ruleset to transfer to a PC game. I think devs did a good job but you just can only do so much. Character build choices have minimal impact. Any class is equally powerful and equally useless. You won't experience the joy of developing a powerful solo mage capable of deconstructing matter. Modding community is very active so maybe they will come up with something but in general the play is very generic. - Combat in this game is very different from BG. Most encounters are pretty much a chess match. This can be irritating because having to overstrategize every goblin encounter is not a sign of good gameplay - The camera can be frustrating, and you may wonder how a huge project could still not polish the camera. Summary: Fortunately, even though this game is designed for D&D nerds, the developers understood the need to appeal to a broader audience like myself. I recommend playing this but there are some minor flaws. Just dont expect a Baldurs gate or Neverwinter game but understand you play a whole new one

The romances and companions in this game are just ridiculous. Everyone is BI and you spend time being hit on by all the men even if playing a male character. If you say no, they keep trying, it is so in your face its immersion breaking big time. Oh, and did I mention that the strong masculine characters are all female? All the effeminate characters are male. I also don't like games with so many cut scenes, just let me play the game and not watch cutscenes! This thing is so overrated already, it's unbelievable.

There still are a few bugs, like the camera sometimes dosnt follow the characters. And sometimes it crashes. But that doesnt really matter. What the developers need to do now is hurry up and bring us new content. I only can play the same part over and over like so much before it gets boring. I havent reached the point of boredom jet, but still, i need more!

Just Amazing
