I played BG and BG2 back when they were new (I still have the four disc Baldur's Gate set in the tri-fold cardboard/plastic on a shelf by my desk). Somehow they made this game feel like a mashup of the old Baldur's Gate and Dragon's Age Origin. Other than the lack of voice acting for the PC, I have absolutely no complaints about anything so far (admittedly I'm only ~15 hours in). This game has sucked me in. And for anyone worried about the 'launcher', there's nothing stopping you from going into the bin folder and clicking the bg3.exe or bg3_dx11.exe files to bypass the launcher and start the game directly. Right click, create shortcut on desktop, no launcher required.
