Baldur's Gate 3

I bought it in 2020 . I have played hundreds of hours as all available races and classes. You must be interested in turn based gaming ( I am!) So far it has been exciting to watch the changes to the game through updates with new material. Now with a concrete aug 2023 release date I cant wait!

Played over 200 hours of EA, and not one playthrough was like the others. Can't wait for the final game

I don't know about you, but I have never played Baldur's Gate 1 or 2. I have got no investment in the franchise or nostalgia goggles on my eyes. Having said that, the game is as good as it gets when it comes to emulating D&D 5e, while still maintaing it's own identity. The graphics are good, the system is based on 5e, which is one of the easiest to get into, especially when compared to games like Pathfinder 2e. Story is well written, at least based on EA and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. Turn based gameplay may not be for everyone, but if you have never played isometric games because they looked archaic and hard to get into then it's probably one of the better games to start off with. It explains everything and if you need any help, you can look up Jocat's: CRAP GUIDE TO DND. Is it game of the decade? Hard to say for now. Is it possibly one of the best rpgs in recent times? Possibly. It's definitely not a game for casual players. "MY ACTIONS HAVE GOT CONSEQUENCES???" For those who do not fear failing speech checks and rolling with them, go ahead. If there is one annoyance I can give some validity is speech checks. Unlike Fallout New Vegas, where you succeed as long as your skill is equal or higher, here you roll for the success all the time. There are rerolls and save quick and quick load, but if you want to pass every speech checks (Why would you do that? Failing is part of the fun in the D&D and can lead to some unexpected consequences) then chances are you will do it at least a couple of times.

Really great game. so huge for the price. like 10x the content you normally get these days really sets the bar higher. totally worth buying at full price.

Thoroughly enjoying myself playing this game. I've bounced off of previous Larian games but somehow the formula mixed with D&D just plain works. Stuffed with gorgeous locals, excellent voice acting, and enough decent writing to keep me wanting more. As a busy parent I thought I had given up making time to play anything, but somehow the hours keep creeping up on BG3. Lots to enjoy here for CRPG players, D&D lovers, and Larian fans.
