Baldur's Gate 3

Good game but had to stop myself...

I own the Steam version of this game. I'm running an RX 5600XT, i5 9600K, 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM. This game graphically is awesome in my opinion. I find myself spinning the maps and zooming in and out just to check out the detail...and the detail does not disappoint. The character creation is overwhelmingly deep. I have 7 builds and sometimes feel totally satisfied blowing an hour or two just building characters to potentially play with. It plays pretty much just like Larian's masterpiece Divine Divinity II with the addition of cutscenes and this is not a bad thing at all! So those are the good things. On to the not so good. I bought this one over a year ago and still, it's pre-release. There are some bugs to be fixed, but it is way better than what it had been from the beginning. In my 81 hours I never had a bug CTD but there were definitely some reloads necessary. Nothing that would make me quit playing, but know that it'll likely happen. It is huge. Have about 150GB for free space ready to occupy if you buy. If you run lean on space like I do then you should consider this. Those are the two minor detractants. The main detractant for me, and the reason I stopped playing until I hear of a final release, is that I hit the level cap about midway through Act I. Caps out at level 4. Still, it was a deal breaker for me, for now anyway and I wish I had known prior to purchase. It is uninstalled. I'm losing faith/hope/confidence that things are going to change anytime soon. Larian announced back in March of 2020 that the level cap was expected to be 10 for final release. Going on two years now....where's our leveling? Kind of a core component to D&D don't you think? Even if it wasn't a D&D game, it's a core component for any self-respecting RPG. Good half game they're selling at premium though. It gets a solid 3 from me and likely higher once it is a final release.
