I'm a huge fan of D&D, BG1 and BG2, as well as Larian's Divinity series. I was very excited to play BG3, and I tried hard to love this game, but at the end of the day, I found myself slogging away and just not having fun... The combat is just ok - the new Action / Bonus Action system is far less flexible that Original Sin's Action Point system. Becomes quite frustrating as you have all these spells and actions you just can't use. The gear is lame. Everything has pretty much the same stats. Very little true variation. The differences in classes don't mean much. Very little real differentiation - I can pick locks and defuse traps with my mage. Who needs a Rogue? I returned it for a refund.
Incredible game. My only complaint is I'm pretty sure playing it a lot can affect your mental health... it's that dark.
Fantastic game! In particular, the Campaign is excellent, with great voice acting and storyline. The strategy parts of the game are not unlike others (Starcraft, etc.), but that's not a bad thing. My game does crash, annoyingly, which has caused me to spend time on fixes. So that sucks. But I'm still playing!
This game was a chore. Decent DND systems (character, inventory), but no storyline and absolutely no fun or challenge. Every move is mapped out to the point where you don't have to engage your brain.
I put 20 hours into this then fell into the "infinite savegame loading screen" bug. All I could do is restart my whole system. Only way around is to make a new game and load from there - aside from being a PITA, it started happening again loading from within a game. So I gave up and came here to tell you to save your $.
Played it all the way through. Really well done.
God I loved these games as a kid. I replayed them so many times, including QFG1 (my secret favourite, despite the graphics!). Wonderful entertainment, great RPG value (you can port your characters from game to game!), and phenomenal writing.
