The game is definitely worth the time and the asking price. It is: + Visually stunning, yet performant! + Great character design; everything one wishes for. + Filled content to the brim; a lot of voiced dialogs. + Provides narrative feedback on the play progression. + The combat, even for fighter, includes many ways to play out an engagement; it doesn't feel grindy. + Most of the characters are not flat absolutes and morally gray instead - far more convincing. + Well-balanced difficulty level up until the last fight that's easier than optional ones. + Refreshing multi-level environment design makes the terrain traversal more of decision making than a choir. Yet, there are a few letdowns: - 4 person party - works with 5e, yet feels majorly limiting in comparison with the actual BG game or the modern Pathfinder WOTR. Not great for what a cRPGs came to be built around. - 5e's dumbed down/casual (yet balanced) feats don't allow for fun builds. Ah, 3.5e... - 12 level cap - feels very-very limiting, yet appropriate for the storyline. - Bugs. Hell a lot of bugs. - Inventory management is tedious. - The writing picks up in the 2nd act on, yet still goes no where near wow side (IMHO, not Larian's forte). - No option for real-time combat. Waiting out turns can get real tedious, I'd jsut kill of the small stuff to make the turns end faster. - Cleric class spell list is boring. All in all, it's definitely worth the time and is enjoyable. Yet, if you want a BG3 experience instead of the casual one of DOS, go with Pathfinder WOTR instead.
The game is the nice kind fast pace and tactics, is very replayable. Yet, while single player is fun, mutliplayer crashes every second game as of recently
