Long, turned-based, traditional RPG

This is a very long game (100+ hours), almost feels like open-world. But it does have interesting things to do and see every few steps of the way. So time flies by very quickly. There are lots of quests, but this game is "old school" in that quests don't often tell you obviously where to go or what to do next -- some players like it like that. Crafting, bartering, repairing, identifying, looting, pickpocketing, lockpicking, a fairly interesting karma system (materialistic or spiritual, pragmatic or romantic, etc.) and all the usual RPG mechanics are there. This is not one of those shallow hacking action RPGs, but a fairly traditional one that has a whole spectrum of mechanics. Combat is strictly turn-based, and there seems to be no battleground limit: you can run from one end of the map to the other during combat. My criticism is with the dialog and characters: much of that seems like caricature. The game attempts to be comical, but dialog (90% voiced) is often turgid and bloated ("Oh, Septimus, don't leave me alone or I'll faint!"). Comedic touches are abound. There is a smelly undergarment that gives +1 charism, and your character can actually equip it. One genuinely funny moment early in the game shows your heroes being unable to step over a rope on the ground; you later find out it is a way to teach you teleporting.

Hardcore RPG fans might like it

To me this game seemed a very serious RPG experience. A lot of games are blamed for too much hand holding. Not in this game. Most of the time you don't know where you should be going or what you should be doing. I guess discovery is part of the fun? The quest log is a mess, doesn't really help. Inventory could use a search function. The difficulty also varies a lot. First you might be fighting some enemies without too much trouble, then you suddenly get a battle that you can't win. Optimizing character skills and equipment is a must. Completing side quests also (but you have to find them first!). If you're tired of glorified walking simulators where you just follow an arrow to eventual victory without thinking, then this game can offer some more challenge. Myself I'm a bit too casual for this game. Might complete it some day, but for now it's too time consuming, not worth it.

Good turn-based strategy RPG

Fun combat, interesting quests and characters, nice soundtrack, overall quite good RPG game. 7/10 in my book. In regards to ppl who write about DRM, there is no DRM, no need to create accounts etc. I installed game using Galaxy and I have no idea what they are writing about.

Good game if you like the genre

I'm still quite early in the game so my opinion might change, but so far it's very good. - The graphics are a bit cartoon-like but it's nice. The overall visuals are cool. The only thing I miss is the day/night cycle and weather, even older games have these. - The controls are good, easy to get used to it. - Combat is interesting and tactical, as it should be in such games. - I like the character development system. It is a classless system and you can develop whatever you like, but being a jack of all trades is not recommended. - I like the quests so far, they're interesting just like the world itself. - Music and voice acting are good. - The game has a nice humour. I recommend it for people who like CRPGs. I also recommend to watch a few tutorials on youtube if needed, there are things that are useful to know right when you start the game (which skills go well together, which talents are useful/useless etc).

Regret buying it

This is one of the few times I regret buying a game. For as much good publicity as this game gets I have never been engaged enough by it to get past the tutorial island that is act I. I decided I wouldn't buy any Larian games as a result of it. Fallowing the launch of BG3 I decided to give this game a 5th or 6th try. This game is just not for me. There are two kinds of RPG players, the story kind that gravitate to RPGs because they tend to be the games with the best stories and the mechanical kind that like TTRPG mechanics and would be content with skipping all the story. I'm a story guy. I buy RPGs because that's where the best stories can be found - at least when it comes to video games. I don't mind mechanics, but you have to give me a reason to engage with them since I'm not there for them. The story of DOS is bad, to put it mildly. And while some people can't stop gashing over the mechanics I find them tedious and SLOW. For me, this game couldn't be worse. A story not worth remembering and an incredibly tedious and slow combat system. The idea behind the system is great and was I not an owner of this game already I'd probably be extremely exited hearing it described, but yeah... NO. The fights in this CRPG are just way, way too boring for my taste. I avoid JRPGs because of the slow turn based combat. Putting them in a CRPG won't change my mind on them. I understand why some people might like the depth the combat system provides but for me it's a snore fest and a waste of time. Honestly, if you intend to buy this game or to try out a game you've owned for years but never played because of some new release, please ask yourself just this one question: do you like turn based combat or not? It doesn't matter how in depth the combat system can go, if you don't like turn based combat you will not like this game.
