Mixed feelings

I've played this for almost 40 hours now and I've found myself vacillating between confusion, frustration, boredom, and moments of excitement and amazement. I don't find the story and characters particularly compelling. While choices do affect the story in consequential ways that are pretty cool to see--I restarted the game multiple times to see how well this worked--it can also be very confusing if you don't have certain characters in your party at the right time, as important scripted sequences simply fail to occur. The story is also quite overwhelming at first. Within the first 10 minutes of the game, you encounter aliens, dragons, demons, inter-dimensional portals, elves, castles... it feels like Lord of the Rings crashed into Guardians of the Galaxy. And unlike games like Dragon Age and Pillars of Eternity, which take all kinds of pains to carefully introduce you to their world, here I feel like I was dropped into the 15th movie of a cinematic franchise with no clue about what was happening, or why I was supposed to care. The way this game approaches romance is also strangely transactional; it feels like virtual sex is just another reward for progressing the story, which is terribly uninteresting. Mechanically, the game is overwhelming and confusing for newcomers to D&D like me, and the tutorials don't help much. Luck also plays *far* too big a role in this game. Requiring players to constantly save-scum in order to enjoy the game is simply bad design. I also frequently found myself trying to do things that simply didn't work out, and felt like I was playing a game of "what did the designers want me to do here" instead of inventing my own solutions based on a consistent, predictable set of mechanics.

If you're sitting on the fence....

.....keep sitting. This is both my first review here on GoG and the first game I've had refunded. It's not got anything to do with the price (only that now I'll use it for something else) but everything to do with the *feel* of this. Yes it's early access, yes I didn't play it very much but regardless of both this isn't for me, someone who played the originals when they first came out. It could be the AD&D ruleset (which is very dumbed down from what I'm used to), it could be the rather curiously chosen overbright graphics style, it could be exceedingly off putting expostion voice over that happens in cut scenes that describes what you character is thinking/feeling (instead of leaving it up to the player to imagine, like a good RPG), it could be the lazy writing in the first few minutes of Act I whereby all the party members have exactly the same motivation (that of the player themselves) to "venture forth". It could be those things, but nothing, but nothing about it felt "right" about it, and yes, they are big shoes to fill and well, perhaps when the dust settles this will turn out to be one franchise that should not have been prodded back to life, time will tell.

Спиратил. Плюнул на баги и купил

Это было мое первое знакомство с Larian Studios и они делают просто шикарную игру с тонной контента, я не знаю как можно не заплатить за нее. Пусть каждая вложенная копейка в этот шедевр на время раннего доступа выльется в улучшение будущего контента. Как будет возможность куплю все их игры и сестре или брату тоже их куплю!! P.S: Конечно у меня нет ни сестры, ни брата, но если появятся то точно куплю!

DOS3 /w DnD rules + Forgotten Raelms mod

- No alaigment system. - Combat is TB instead of RTwP. - Combat is dead slow. - Balancing is a mess, e.g. overuse of ground effects. - Party limit is 4 instead of 6, like in a f***ing SNES game. - There are far less companions than in any BioWare RPG... - ... and most of them are generic & stereotypical. - You will lose all but four companions after act 1. (Same s**t as in DOS1+2.) - Facial expressions are worse than in early versions of MEA. - The past tense narration breaks immersion. - Absurd gameplay mechanics are breaking immersion as well: Jumping around like the Hulk, kicking huge bears back 5m with a wizard that has 9 strength, etc. - Other immersion breakers like teleporting to a fixed camp on rest instead of resting right there in the dungeon. (If you can teleport, why bother walking through dungeons after all?) - Even more immersion breakers like poorly implemented fog of war enabling you to see what is going on behind a closed door. - No day/night circle. This breaks immersion, too. - Story and plot progression are linear. Dungeons are linear. Everything is linear, forced and plastic. - Bastardized DnD lore: They made the goblins intelligent! And half of them are clerics or wizards! - You roll for everything: Persuasion checks, finding traps, disarming traps, lock picking, etc. This leads to save/load orgies. - Load times are outrageous! - Limited options during character creation: Only use prebuild faces and you can't set height, weight, muscularity, breast size, etc. - There are too many containers in the game, often containing no or crappy items. This wastes the time of completionists. - In general the game is not communicating well with the player. Will I die when jumping so deep? How much damage will I take from walking through this acid puddle? - The game is not BG3, but DOS3 with DnD rules and a (bad) Forgotten Realms skin mod slapped onto it. - The art style, visuals, interface, main menu and character design all scream DOS3 instead of BG3.

Too old for this

This is a game that warrants a multiple page essay to review it, but the long and short is that an RPG lives and dies on how interesting its world is, and BG3 doesn't really take itself seriously enough to create a consistent world with politics and ideoligies, nor does it interweave its characters in such a way that their motivations become drivers for the plot or the interactions. So you're really left with a game that's a vessel for giving you dnd 5e combat and it's kinda buggy but mostly works, so it's "fine". Whether you like this game can be determined largely on whether you think that shenanigans you can cause in combat, and the weird creatures you'll meet; will carry your engagement through 80 hours of game. I played with 2 other players and we all agreed that it lacked narrative substance, though were at times impressed with what was on display in terms of mechanical depth. With a lot of very good RPGs behind me, this one did not live up to the comparison. Though I am sure it is a defining game for many younger players, and rightfully so. But to me this is just Divinity Original Sin 2: 2.
