Baldur's Gate 3

Pros: Great graphics and visuals Great music and sounds Story bits are well written and acted out Character creation is pretty solid, lots of options Cons: Mechanics are 5.1 ish, its more like a homebrew than a true DnD so there is a learning curve even if you are familiar with the srd. Dice rolls are artificially lowered, you will get a lot of nat 1s when rolling attacks and damage, making combat sometimes needlessly hard if down right impossible. Meaning in most cases you have to use some pre-determined strategy in order to win fights. Level cap at 4 is reached about halfway through the current content. So for half the game you're staring at a full xp bar while encounters keep getting more and more advanced.

Finally a RPG where you can role play! Finally a developer not scared that 3% of players will miss some% of content! Plenty of options in combat, and outside of it, if the final release match the quality of this early access BG3 will be the best RPG ever created. Dear Larian, what about a collaboration with CDPR on a proper turn based Cyberpunk? PLEASE? PLEASE?! PLEASE!! do it.

I've never delved deep into RPGs before, but Baldur's Gate 3 has me captivated! Many discuss its intricate and complex systems, yet even as a newcomer to the genre, I'm thoroughly enjoying every moment. Each dice roll fills me with anticipation, leading to either a quiet cheer or a groan based on the result. I couldn't recommend the game enough.

I don't have a top of the line rig, but it is a good one. 0 bugs/issues, immersion to the point of never skipping dialogue and talking to literally every npc so far. Combat (on tacticain) makes you think and plan from the moment you leave the opening tutorial. Every decision feels good, even bad ones. Already planning my second playthrough.

in 30 years of gaming I haven't played anything this good as far as I remember. Maybe BG 1 and 2 back then came close. I almost want to try every class and can't see me stopping to play this game anytime soon. Beautiful graphics, excellent music, great acting, multiple ways of solving quests. Just wow!
