Baldur's Gate 3

I've read the reviews. All of them. People make no sense most of the time. When you scan through tons of reviews you find that what people complain about really isn't part of the game they are leaving a review on. It's mostly about their taste in game mechanics, or gameplay in general. From what I've gathered this game, once completed, will be pretty close to playing table top D&D. Random! Dice rolling is RANDOM! That's why you spend points for bonuses. This game is as good as bought. Whine as much as you like. No one can stop you.

Step 1: Open the game Step 2: Change ''Point n Click voice frequency'' setting from ''Always'' to ''Occasional'' Enjoy!

If the goal was to get as close to the feel of tabletop gaming as possible, then this is the pinnacle of success to date! The story is both intriguing and engaging. The interface provides tools that are very familiar to any TTRPG player; and, for anyone familiar with the D&D 5e ruleset, then the gameplay is exactly as expected and comfortable to play in. I am astonished that the game is still in developement and is already this excellent. I can't wait to see how good the final relase is. It is already a truly gorgeous game! Definately a critical hit! Keep up the excellent work Larian Studios.

Played 80 h in Early Access. That's a huge jump from DOS2 to a new higher level: * The origin characters are all amazing, * the story itself is thrilling, * the combat is super versatile and intertaining. * The cinematics are mindblowing * and that's just the EA? Latest Panel From Hell showcase has shaked the whole industry, other devs are scared of the level that Larian managed to achieve. Thank you, Larian, you set the standard that all players wanted.

Bloody excellent “tabletop” RPG feeling, but the story hooks leave something to be desired. I love that the faction reputation system accounts for how you interact with individuals, but also whether you get caught doing bad things (or whether word has gotten around about good things). The ability to sneak around and assassinate targets without ruining your reputation is far beyond anything BG2 offered in that sense. I’m excited about what the city of Baldur’s Gate in the full release will hold with respect to the freedom to act and the way the world responds to your actions! Unfortunately, about 2/3 of the way through the EA I got bored because there just didn’t feel like there was a good hook for my character to continue learning and exploring once the druid grove questline was done. The initial “ticking time bomb” urgency had passed, and nothing had replaced it. Hopefully the full release will have more to draw you on!
