Baldur's Gate 3

Lancement du jeu : un launcher apparaît... Après avoir cliqué, on se retrouve devant un contrat où on est obligé de dire "OK"... Voilà qui me fait grincer des dents ! Allez, on va se créer un personnage (toujours pas de générateur de nom) : un beau choix... Tiens ? On peut mettre le héros tout nu. C'est super ça mais ça aurait été quand même mieux d'avoir un VRAI SYSTEME de création pour pouvoir faire la tête qu'on veut. C'est déjà un défaut du fait qu'on passe son temps à voir notre visage dans les dialogues. Ces derniers sont plutôt bien écrits et même animés à l’exception du protagoniste qui se contente de regarder avec un sourire niai les bras ballants. L'histoire principale est pas terrible. Les flagelleurs mentaux font de piètres antagonistes, on est bien loin d'un Baldur's Gate avec son histoire personnelle et sympa à suivre. Raphaël aurait été préférable, il a bien plus de charme et sa musique est fantastique ! Il y a 3 actes : les deux premiers sont pas mal du tout (Thorm est superbement introduit) mais le troisième s'étend trop. On arrive dans la ville éponyme mais étant donné que le niveau max est 12, on y arrive vite et par ce fait, l'exploration n'est plus vraiment intéressante. Les compagnons sont dans la "norme" avec les mêmes clichés qu'on a déjà vu par exemple Lae'zel : "méchante" qui devient "gentille". On retrouve des PNJ du 2, certains sont respectés tandis que d'autres ont eu tout leur développement balayé pour devenir des "méchants" unidimensionnel. Le moteur étant celui d'Original Sin, on plus l'impression d'être dans cet univers plutôt que celui des Royaumes Oubliés. Le manque de stabilité est proprement SCANDALEUX ! On voit le décor se charger pendant plusieurs secondes (embarrassant). Les temps de chargement sont très longs (ce qui est handicapant dans ce genre de jeu où on recharge souvent). Je pourrai en dire énormément, c'est certes une bonne aventure mais la déception est grande ! 3 étoiles (pour la mise en scène).

I've played the old Icewind Dales and Temple of Elemental Evil RPGs. THEY were good. So far, this one has impossible boss fights. Everyhting is fine until then. Doesn't matter character builds or compostion, at a boss fight enemies that were no where near the area sudeenly show up. Or the boss themself is invunerable. Total BS!

Gameplay is good if you like divinity you will like this one Navigation is good as well exploration is excellent and exiting There is a freedom of choice but not by much it is ok Companions are annoying and modern doesn't feel like medieval people or fantasy people for that matter Over-sexualisaion and of course everyone is gay and bi like in the real word right ? If you like immersion this will break it. A lot of modern politics and diversity in medieval setting making the game less fun and autentic for the time period (or for the real world now as well actually) . Check RPGHQ for mods to make it less gay and black it will be at least playable

When I bought the game I was surprised by the low rating that GOG users gave the game, it seems to me that more than having an objective vision of the game they want an experience equal to BG 1 & 2. Unfortunately that is not the case, this is a modern game which only lent the name of Baldurs Gate. BG 3 is a great game with excellent mechanics, great story, endearing characters and a compelling plot, you aren't a nobody, your companions aren't nobodys and each character arc is compelling. The game is a catharsis of emotions where everything is counter-relogous and you feel that you have little time to solve the problems that are given to you. I particularly like this mode of narration since it forces me to constantly make decisions under pressure, something that I understand that many people might not like it. In general, great plot, excellent graphics, an INCREDIBLE soundtrack and sound effects, but if you are looking for an experience like Baldurs Gate 1 & 2, Solastra would be the most suitable for you.

For me, the bottom line is always: "Am I having fun?" Yes, yes I am. This game is beautiful, exciting, and deep. The opening sequence reminded me of the beginning of KOTOR, where I felt a real sense of urgency and awe while learning the ropes. I've encountered more companions than I can have in my party at one time. Each provided a different set of skills and an interesting story line. The world is rich, with many objects both useful and/or colorful (heh, portrait of Lohse). Voice acting and cutscenes are very well done. I have found that I need to use thought and tactics to succeed in battle (I've had my posterior handed to me a couple of times when I didn't). I am running this at 4K on a high end machine without having encountered any visual problems or obvious bugs; I don't know about other platforms so take that for what it is. About 7 hours in. I didn't go into this with a lot of expectations, certainly not that it should be like BG2. Someone else wrote that it feels between classic Baldur's Gate and Divinity Original Sin 2, and I agree. I loved both games, so not a bad thing. This works very well! The character creation is versatile but takes some learning and experimentation to use effectively. I at first created a male with breasts above and, um, junk below before I learned to change the body type. The game does allow quite a range of biological types but doesn't prevent your avatar from being what you want, and I'm fine with that. Recommended!
