Just like Baldur's Gate was for 2nd edition and Neverwinter Nights was for 3rd edition, this will be the definitive depiction of the 5th edition rules in video game format. BG3 does a great job telling a quinessential Forgotten Realms story that anyone playing 5e modules will feel at home with. That being said, it is a great place for newcomers to jump in and learn or for people that don't have the time/ability to play tabletop games to fall in love with the system and world(s). I've plunked over 100 hours into this game and we're still not even out of the beta. I am basing this review on what i've played and on the assumption that we will get more of the same as updates continue.
