Masterpiece with many tolerable flaws
Baldur's Gate 3 is a great game. I've put in excess of 80 hours into it for my first playthrough, and I will pick it up again to be sure. The battles are great, and the world is beautifully crafted. I wholeheartedly recommend the game to every RPG and strategy gamer. Nevertheless, as a fan of the predecessors by name as well as tabletop D&D 5th edition, I have a number of gripes with it: - Unicorns everywhere. Every single companion has to have a ridiculous over-the-top background story, which makes them appear less than normal, relateable people and more like superhero caricatures. - Weak Story. The overall story of BG3 is a generic 'Evil wants to take over the world' story, with a number of ridiculous twists and excessive use of larger-than-life events and antagonists. The story also engages in gravedigging with regards to events and characters of the predecessors, but disregards some major conclusions from the old games in order to utilize them as 'Remember this' events. - Cut spells. BG3 has cut quite a few spells from 5th Edition, and many others are not handled according to tabletop rules, often making them worse or uninteresting to use (looking at you, Fly). This also hurts class balance, as for example the Warlock's already small spell selection is reduced even further. - Larian engine. BG3 is basically Divinity with a D&D license, and it shows. The game showers you with special arrows, fantasy handgrenades and other unbalanced nonsense which doesn't fit into the 5e rules. - Martial superiority. The excessively powerful weapons and armor tend to favor non-caster-classes; this is made even worse by the aforementioned special arrows & stuff, and the fact that all classes can use spell scrolls (!). Time and time again I have asked myself why I bother using spellcasters, when a barbarian or fighter can just use a scroll of fireball in crucial situations when enemies are clumped together, and dish out ridiculous damage against single targets in all others.
