Feels like work

I really wanted to love this game. Playing Original Sin 1&2 in Coop were some of the most fun gaming hours I ever had. But this game is WORK. I am sorry but it just isn't fun. I had a friend who was constantly one Act ahead of me in his single player game so when we played together he knew the right order to play areas etc. so that you would not get screwed by level jumps etc. However, the moment he did not have time to play in Coop anymore I lost all enjoyment. Why do I still give 3 stars? Because I do achnowledge the sheer depth and scope of the game, it is impressive. Maybe it just caught me at the wrong time in my life. PS: The fact that all companions are super horny and hot for you was really distracting and might be the reason I did not continue playing. Gradually building releationships in games like Mass Effect or Dragon Age was a core part of the experience which is severly cheapened by this approach. Everybody can love everyone means that no one loves anyone. Limitations add meaning.

Crossplay is a 10/10

Everything I've heard and more. Playing crossplay with my friend who is using the Steam version on PC, and I have GOG version on a mac. The crossplay is flawless, 0 bugs so far and no connection issues.

Not quite Baldur's Gate, not Divinity

BG3 never quite feels like Baldur's Gate. It's tone is a little off, perhaps a bit more whimsical. Something about BG1/2 felt more grounded but maybe that's how Forgotten Realms changed in 5E compared to what it was in AD&D2.5. There are even times I almost feel like I'm playing Planescape: Torment with the sheer number of quirky and crazy things going on, along with all the extra-planar activity in this. I would have loved it if Larian had made this a Planescape game instead (though not a Torment sequel). It also feels quite a lot like Divinity: Original Sin 2. The various characters you interact with feel more like characters you would meet in that game than ones you would meet in BG1/2, but maybe that has to do with everything being voice acted and mocapped. The dialogue and the options the game provides are where it really shines though. You are constantly given options of using class specific dialogue on top of tonal dialogue (think good vs evil). Options to deceive, investigate, recall knowledge of history and religion, and so many more truly make conversations the best part of BG3. The turn-based combat is what really lends it that feel of D:OS2, however. Unfortunately, BG3's combat is just not as good as D:OS2's. Dungeons & Dragons' systems simply do not translate well into a video game. Video games have come a long way since BG1/2 and although BG3 is using 5E's more updated and streamlined systems rather than AD&D's THAC0, those systems still can't compete with ones that were specifically designed with video games in mind. Concentration, spell/skill usage limits, resting, progression curve, class balance, and so many other mechanics really drag the combat down (along with other aspects of the game). Turn based combat has really come into its own in recent years but the desire to adhere so strictly to the rules of D&D just ignores much of that. I'm still enjoying the game as I near its end, but it really has me wanting for the thing that could have been.

there are logical flaws at every corner

After about 60 hours (just entered into "act 3"), I must say that a lot of the hype about this game seems to be well orchestrated marketing. I really enjoy it where it reminds me of the old BG's and addons (e.g. the encounter with Elminster). It is challenging. I like round-based battle, that there are many dialogues, stealth options. There's a lot to be excited about, sure, just see the reviews online. Yet there is also a massive amount of severe logical flaws, bugs, annoyances. Some examples. - I'd rather have stranded from a pirate ship than a Nautiloid. Act I was nice, except for that: Goblins, Druids, a hag, the underdark, Gnolls, spiders, Grym. - Act II was linear. - There suddenly is a giant, evil, humanoid squid brain with tentacles and a Netherene crown. Wtf. Why not also a corrupted unicorn? - At just level eight, I just fought one of The Three. wtf. - Every cult has their parallel dimension: the astral plane, the weave, shadowfell, death (necromancy) ... running out of ideas? - I stealthed Kethric's room in Act II, before seeing him, found all kind of evidence for invasion and conspiracy; no consequence. - Voss just teleported to my camp. They could have come there all the time. - gore is unnecessary, e.g. Thorm doctor - romance is unnecessary, too easy, predictable - All (!) characters basically have the same "rebel against their oppressor" story. - For many many dialogues, I get multiple options, but it seems that the answer would fit either of these (no real choice). - Lae'zel keeps saying "Vlak'kith's will done" after defying the queen. Who cares? Me, it's an RPG! - Hirelings aside, my group too crucially depends on Astarion for (too many) sneaky tasks; he's the only "dexterity" character (would love a non-vampire monk or something). - Jaheira is Lvl 7 when I meet her. Minsc - will see. It is "eat or die" with the famous old companions. - I found few good "feit"s for casters, none for healer/supporters. There's more, just char limit here. Pity!

Unbalanced Mess

Game is an unbalanced mess. The beginning, as usual, will be the most ironed out section of the game. Essentially Act 1 was such a blast playing through, however, the game past that point completely nose dives. The story feels like it doesn't exist. Either you are running around exploring or you are entering into combat which, by the way, the implementation just does not work for this sort of game. I ran into so many encounters where I had to load a previous save or keep loading a save to get myself out of fighting. It just became too tiresome. Kinda lame that failing a speech check more often than not will most liklely turn into a fight with you being punished for it. Furthermore, I am unsure what the idea behind throwing 10 enemies against your 4 party members is, but it got old. It got old really fast. Initially, the camping mechanic seemed pretty cool, until you get to Act 2. Having to long rest after every fight literally throws the tadpole threat out the window. I thought we were slowly transforming to monsters and had to find a cure quickly? I also had to drop the difficulty down to the easiest setting to try to get the game to feel more immersive and even that setting isn't even balanced. Having to rest to recharge your spells and abilities is such a terrible design decision for this game. I can't get over the amount of romance that exists in this game which is a shame because Shadowheart and Wyll are well written characters, both with engaging and interesting quests. But all that is undermined by lust and sexual degeneracy. At one point, my camp just felt like an orgy-in-waitng. I can determine one party members entire fate depending if I'd like to engage a sexual relationship with them or not. Overall, I was looking forward to being immersed by the story and decisions of each character. What I bought was frustrating game design and woke nonsense. By the way, a certain character has the Star of Remphan carved into his face which I thought was hilarious.
