DOS 3 with DA Skin & D&D rules NOT BG!

This is NOT Baldurs Gate, it is Divinity Original Sin 3 with a Dragon Age Skin and D&D Mechanics. Larian is a proven RPG developer and can certainly be a good choice to develop a game in the D&D universe for a broad spectrum of gamers, however its debatable whether this is a good choice for making Baldurs Gate. The Divinity games (good in their own right) and Larians style are polar opposites of Baldurs Gate in feel, characters and story writing. It does not mean they are not up to the task but it is a big ask for them to make so many changes to their usual offerings, there are other companies (Owlcat Games or Obsidian) that would be more naturally inclined to continue those elements achieved by the original developers and wanted by the fans. The problem is they are using the name of a franchise that is much more than its D&D roots. Its popularity as perhaps one of if not the best CRPG in history, has created a huge following. I understand that some changes are normal due to the large timespan since the last game but Larian have ignored what made those games unique from other D&D games. If they use the name Baldurs Gate one would assume they want to draw the attention of new players as well as the followers of the series. They have ignored and alienated the latter part of the consumer base completely which is not very intelligent. Larian show they do not care, they only want to make money with a broader younger audience with the reputation of other peoples visions and hard work just like the trash Disney made with the new Star Wars movies (thank God for Mandalorian). P.S. Even Beamdogs Siege from Dragonspear (BG 1.5) stayed truer to the source material. To this day I still maintain that Pathfinder Kingmaker, NOT Dragon Age is the spiritual successor to BG. Larian just took advantage of the name to maximise sales. If you do not care about the originals and simply want an enjoyable RPG then as a stand alone game it will appeal to those that like DOS and DA.

The Best CRPG of the Decade

I'm an old school gamer, with 20+ years of gaming experience. RPGs are my favorite type of game. I can say with complete certainty, even leaving the hype behind, that this game sets the bar absurdly high. I was one of the people who didn't like the fact that the game didn't looked AT ALL like a BG, but like a DOS 3, but they shut me up with the release. The game still doesn't look or plays like a BG game, but it's definitely not the DOS feel. It's something in between and it's enough to not be considered a bad thing. The lore is there, the story is there, the stakes are there. Leaving the title behind, there's nothing to complain. Take DOS 2 and expand everything tenfold, with the rules of D&D. There are amazing characters, the world is amazing, they understand the lore and the ruleset, and they know what makes a game fun. If I started saying everything I would never end, so take my word for it when I say, this game will be remembered for decades. If you like CRPGs, this is for you and skipping it would be a travesty towards your own self. tl;dr: Not exactly a BG game, but that doesn't really matter because the game is a 10/10. ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE.

Baldur's Gate III: Post-Release Review

During the early stage of EA cycle I posted a two-star review here. Then the game got progressively better during the later stages of the cycle. The finished product is a fine game. Surely not the classic to end all classics, as one might imply from the over-hyped reviews, though. Let's be honest: a new BG2 it isn't. When the dust settles, I think that much will be seen clearly. I believe a more fitting description would be a new Dragon Age: Origins of sorts, different universe notwithstanding. The general atmosphere (minus the universe), the presentation, the better parts of the game script strongly remind me of DAO, which by itself is quite a complimentary remark. The mechanics, the combat (though it's a wee bit too easy even on Tactical for an oldschooler like me: for one, I think beating Commander Zhalk in the prologue should not be so trivial), the music, and the visuals/the VO are the main selling points for me. Companions are well-designed, but evil alignment is (again!) underrepresented: two origin NPCs and one Act 2 companion as opposed to a horde of do-gooders. This disbalance is somewhat redeemed by an introduction of The Dark Urge origin, which is indeed very interesting. The plot is passable, decent at times, as long as one is fine with the writing being not exactly Bioware-tier. Mind you, it's surely not horrible, and quite immersive. Just a bit generic and, well, mostly devoid of literary merit. Even so, I suggest focusing on the stronger aspects of this games, of which there is a lot. The bugs: have no fear, in this respect it's a worthy successor of both BG2 and DAO! :) Invisible NPCs and faulty event triggers FTW. This was anticipated, though - hell, I would have felt cheated if it wasn't buggy at times! - and nothing was game-breaking. Larian are quick to patch the bugs, too. Overall, it's a good RPG totally worth experiencing. There is a lot to enjoy in BG3, just don't expect some kind of timeless classic, and you are going to love it.

Fun game, but DOS3, Not BG3 EDIT 9/18/25

I waited until the game was out a while and patched up before giving a review. I bought it day one of early access. The people saying it is a DOS2 sequel and not BG3 are correct, clear down to the reused mechanics, assets and even some of the mapping layouts. The lore breaking is rampant throughout. There are just too many examples to list. From the perspective of someone who has been playing D&D since before the AD&D books were published, yeah, the lore in the game may as well be from Rainbow Six. That's how far removed it is from the source lore. Some of the mechanics are painfully broken. Fail a dialogue attempt with an NPC and it attacks you is grounds for making a paladin fall. Jump is wonky at best and some of the characters must be hard coded to perpetually miss, like Shadowheart. Got to the point I would just end her turn without bothering to use her since she never hit in any of the 38 playthroughs with her in the party. The game had to be patched to fix the perpetually bad dice rolls. I've worked on die rolling tools. I've tested many other ad nauseum, and while BG3's dice mechanics falls into the same patterns all other algorithm based rollers do, it will do so at numbers 30% below what needs to be rolled for success. COMBAT ZOOM. Complaints about this terrible game mechanic go back to 2015 with DOS2 and absolute silence from Larian regarding any remedies. It's still the same today. Why does the camera zoom clear off into another realm at every attack? Reload Simulator 2023 would be a good title for how wonky the mechanics get. Have to pop a smoke bomb? Make sure it's on the left side of those rocks or you will be attacked by the very people you are saving. Worst AI Ever is another title. I thought it impossible for an engine to have an AI worse than BioWare's Aurora engine. NWN vets know what I'm talking about. But Larian achieved it. Your characters will exclaim, "Lookout! A trap!", then run ahead right into it. *Facedesk* Fun? Yes. D&D? No. EDIT: Patch 7 completely destroyed this game. First, none of my saves or mods work due to that completely borked mod manager Larian added. Second, I uninstalled via Revo Uninstaller so I could completely clean my registry, reinstalled and now the standard play UI is overlaid on the vanilla new chargen screen. I am presented a naked black male human and four bald black male heads on the left where the character classes are, so they cannot be accessed. I can't create a character at all. I want a rollback option to patch 6, or my damned money back. Larian, you destroyed this game and lost a customer forever with your antics. Years of modifying the game and character development wiped out. You should work for Microsoft.
