I really want to like this game...

As the title says I really want to like this game, at least more than I currently do. As someone who played the original saga back around its release and many times since I was exited for this game for largely nostalgic reasons I suppose, and it has been fun to run into Elminster and Jaheira but there is something missing. The fist two games and DLC's were full of humor and whimsy. I find none of that here, just Po-faced companions who take themselves too seriously and seem desperate to bed the player character. I mean seriously, every companion makes a play for the PC at some point and goes away downcast when I reject them, are meaningful friendships not a thing in this universe? Relationships in the party in general seem poorly handled to me. There is no time given for things to build between characters and relationship dynamics just seem rushed to the point where I find myself simply not really caring about the other characters. All their secrets are too easily revealed and this happens way too fast. Anyway that's probably enough about that. Overall I find that the story fails to grip my imagination. Everything of apparent meaning in the game is undermined by an apparent lack of consequences or simply being handed to you on a plate. Romancing companions is pointless as they will all try and jump your bones no matter what you do it seems. There are way to many magical items rendering them valueless and frankly a bit annoying. I get a serious case of choice blindness every time I open my travelers chest. Generally I just find that the story is robbed of meaning by a lack of consequences, cool items and relationships are rendered valueless by being handed to you gratis and false sense of urgency is just an annoyance that breaks any sense of immersion. And do not get me started on the camera and the map. I have never played a game with a more annoying camera and map implementation. Just follow the player character, or the selected character. Oh well, out of space

Enjoyable game play. Writing less so.

While the game is far from perfect in its mechanics, camera views, etc., the gameplay is thoroughly enjoyable and a lot of bang for the buck. Far fewer bugs than many modern games (looking at you Bethesda). The writing, as far as wordsmithig goes, is competent. Unfortunately, immersion is badly compromised by a pretty superficial and juvenile worldview as well as shallow politicizing. It’s hard to remain caught up in the story when you can practially read the mind of the writers trying, and failing, to make some kind of meaningful social statement. A lot like my 7 yr old daughter expostulating on the moral complexities of Pokemon. Also, the different races in the game are shallow and uninteresting. It’s not very compelling when an orc warrior is just a human with a underbite and has the voice and mannerisms of a typical 15 yr old high school student. Still, in a gaming industry full of microtransactions that charge you for a new colour of armor, and where it’s the norm to release games with game-crashing bugs, BG 3 stands out as a product that gives gamers more of the quality they deserve. Well worth the purchase.

Baldurs Gate 3

Veteran players of the Baldurs Gate franchise are some of the least demanding people for cutting edge graphics; opting for story and gameplay in a time when 3D gaming was becoming more popular. Now onto the main issue with the game itself. It does not feel like a spiritual successor in anyway to Baldurs Gate. With only some small dialogue tweaks the game itself could take place in an alternate universe. Now normally this would not be an issue but the combat itself is not my cup of tea. Combat is very focused on "floor" effects and taking advantage of elemental pools by dipping your weapon inside. Jumping in this game is a way to avoid attacks-of-oppurtunity from leaving melee range and it looks downright silly to jump half a screen. (Also as an aside for jumping. Since jump distance is based on youre maximum movement per turn which is based on race along with a strength modifier... it is entirely possible to create a character that cannot advance in the tutorial area because of a mandatory jump) This lends itself to a very wide sprawling battlefields where your jumping and littering the battefield with a glitter fiesta of elements. Now for the UI. Its pretty bad. Details are lacking in for almost every action from a spells duration to DC for modifiers to movement. I dont understand why the actions (sneaking, jumping, dipping, etc.) share an similar size with the hotbar for a characters' actual skills. The actual dice rolls for making a difficulty check are a wink to its D&D roots but it feels hollow. And thats what the game feels like. Hollow. Guess ill stop playing.

So far so good. Keep it up Larian.

I played and loved BG1 and 2. So I went in expecting to hate this game. I read a lot of reviews that say "it doesn't feel like BG..." and so on and so forth.. I disagree. The game is great so far. The vast options you have to approach situations is stellar. It plays and feels like D&D 5e and you are headed for Baldur's Gate. The game looks gorgeous, the acting is good, the mechanics are on point, the pacing is really good. It's a great game. Compared to BG2: Druids grove in BG2 was small. It was an outside area and one cave at the back. Here in BG3 it's much more expansive with the refugees outside, the beach, the outdoor idol and ceremony spot and the caves. The towns in BG2 outside Athkatla (the big city) were all just a few buildings.. not that big. The couple towns you go two (I count the Goblin camp as a town) were big in comparison. SO when the party actually gets to Baldur's Gate city I'm expecting Larian to make it expansive compared to the big city in BG2 and BG1. I am very optimistic and excited to explore it when full release gets here. There are plenty of bugs, but hey, it's early access: I saw a Tiefling tail turn into a big stretchy bungie cord. After I rescued Halsin, he was walking out, and then the spiders that I 'persuaded' decided to attack him since he was neutral. This made Halsin hostile toward my party and I hadn't saved in a while... If I could give one bit of advice to Larian Studios it's this: You have a great product. Sure, listen to the community BUT always keep in mind that this is your game. By trying to please everyone you'll water down your vision and wind up with mediocrity. Stay true to what YOU envision for this game and know that it's YOUR game to make. Make your efforts count and stay true to yourselves, not the masses. Earth shatteringly good games come out of labors of love and vision, not focus groups. Listen to the message boards but don't listen too closely and don't let them steer the ship.

Лариан победила!

Великолепная игра! На сегодняшний день это лучшая РПГ. Лариан - это пример как НУЖНО делать РПГ. Наиграл больше 50+ часов и довольный. Хочу ещё. Шэдоухарт покорила мое сердце. Плюсы: сюжет, диалоги, вариативность боя, тонкая настройка персонажа, богатый лор D&D, романы, можно быть злым, каждое ваше действие влияет на игру, игра 18+, цензура опциональна, есть кровь и интимные сцены. Минусы: средняя оптимизация - присутствую "просадки", нет русской озвучки (в данное время), дорого но оно того стоит. Лариан, большое вам спасибо, за прекрасный шедевр.
