I would give it 2.5 stars if I could. If it weren't for the bugs, I might give this game 5 stars. It is very well voice acted and all the characters feel meaningful and believable. The story is there until act 3 when they decide to introduce questionable characters and show weird cutscenes that are inconsistent with the rest of the game, such as villains talking in a room you are not in, very un-immersive and cliche IMO. I know BG3 has been in developments for a couple years now in early access, and recently had a "full release" but frankly it is unfinished (noticeable once you get to act 3) and communication from the developers has fallen off a cliff. They have been releasing random "hotfixes" which don't address most of the main issues and there is no communication as to whether they plan on fixing major issues or not. Some very random questionable decisions that no one asked for like Astarion's airbrushed abs for god sakes. At it's core, they made some questionable decisions with the development of the game like implementing DirectX 11 and not 12, lack of Nvidia frame generation, adding AMD FSR but only version 2.1 and not 3.0 etc. making us 4000 RTX owners look like we wasted our money on our cards when we get 40 FPS in the city! Once you get to act 3 there are game-breaking bugs as others have pointed out. SPOILER: I had a bug where I could not talk to Wyll's father because I destroyed the steel watch before confronting Gortash (because the draw-bridge was up) and when I did there was no cutscene and I felt like there should have at least been one. Tried everything from knocking him out to using necromancy with no luck in getting him on my side. Had to go back 8 hours just to fix it! The order I was supposed to do things was super unclear. I cannot believe this game has not gone on sale, even 20% off is something new buyers deserve. Overall avoid for a while until they release the actual final game.
