Baldur's Gate 3

If we're gonna compare it to the previous titles I would say that there's not much in common with them - especially in terms of the atmosphere. But that's not really a problem with Baldur's Gate III because what it gives is superb in execution. You may call this completely different game but still as a game its top notch. What I liked: * Excellent story line * Characters * Choices really matter and they are changing further adventures (!) * Fun combat and exploration * It's not an openworld but still is large as hell * It has some oldschool vibes * Great graphics and music/sound * Great fantasy atmosphere on its own What was not so good: * First impression * Inventory managment and sometimes interface * Too much 'woke' stuff and political correctness Overall highly recommended.

So far it's not like the other 2 BG (Balders Gate) games. I like that there are a few more races you can pick from, I love that you can dream (I'd say a lover later on?) of the same/opposite sex who can be any race you can pick for the main person. I enjoy the dice rolling and that it''s not a popup all the time (have 3 checks what just showed it rolled but not the number). I'd like to (and will check later) to remap the camera controlls (become a little anoying that I hit E and a stat screen opened up). I haven't played it long but I like what I have seen so far. For people saying about the price: Yes it's one off and Yes if you don't like the cost DON'T BUY IT. The world will keep turning and life will go on. As for the bugs: It crashed once on me and I had some lag in a cutscene but it's Early Access (not the ready game. Things can be fix before release). Even though I'd never use them I am looking forward to the premade origans becoming available (I like to make my own story).

So I went with three E's because I'm pretty much ecstatic over this game. I played all the old Baldur's Gates as well as Icewindale 2 and Neverwinter Nights. I never played Divinity, but I've played games similar to it. BG3, though, is so worth picking up! I know it's only Early Access, but it still has so much to offer. The way the characters speak to one another, to how the game mechanics do rolls and checks--I just love how immersive it is. I feel actual regret when I do something bad in game, or the anticipation of maybe stepping on a trap has me on the edge of my seat. I've played about 5 hours (2 of those with friends online with Steam players (yes, you can cross play with Steam and GOG)) and it was fantastic. We had very little problems connecting and I we didn't get any lag! Maybe we were just lucky, but I found it seamless. There are totally a lot of bugs. Sometimes bodies will fly through the air and get stretched across the entire screen. Sometimes in combat your turn might get skipped if you're not careful. Sure, if you double click on your level up there's a chance you'll be saddled with the defaults instead of getting to choose because of the lag. These things I can look past because the game is of high quality in other places, specifically in story telling. All in all, I'm super impressed and was NOT planning on buying this game until it came out, but I'm so glad I got it early because it's totally worth digging into.

For those who like DAO series then BG2 is for you. Appears to me that Larian slapped a BG facelift on DOA2 and hoped to make a bundle off the BG hype. I played through BG 1/2 and NWN more than once now, and will probably now make another run through the series. I tried Dragon Age: Origins and I can't make it past the initial startup adventures before boredom sets in. DAO series is just not my type of game. Reviews here have saved me spending $60 for a game that isn't what I anticipated.

Franchement ce jeux est superbe, un tres bon jeu de role comme il devrait y en avoir plus. Par contre ... 60 euros au tarif normal ca pique, j'ai longuement hesité a le boycoté juste pour son tarif. Ce qui lui vaut 2 etoiles au lieu de 4, oui deux etoile de moins juste pour le prix (bravo au studio d'encourager le piratage, apres ils viendront se plaindre) Pour ce qui est du jeu en lui meme, la creation de perso est super, pour ceux qui ont jouer au autre jeu du studio il ne seront pas depaysé. Beaucoup de curseur et meme d icone d'objet ressembe a ceux de divinity 2. Le scenario a l'air tres bien et bien ecrit, et le systeme de jet dés sympa (a confirmer sur plus d'heure de jeu).
