After reading a lot of good things about BG3, I had to try it for myself. This game could be a good game after they fix some bugs and change some weird not very usable features like dragging a portrait of a character away from the others if you want to move him/her alone. But this game doesn't feel like good old Baldurs Gate. Of course aren't new things automatically bad and obviously a lot of people like it. But how much did they like Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, if they now say everything what Larian Studios changed is better now? I liked BG1&2 for the real time system with pause function, it's atmosphere, the good handling of the UI and of course the story (which may be good in BG3). Now I have a game with exaggerated colours, cumbersome control and slow turn based battles. When I played BG1&2 I loved it. Playing BG3 is annoying. There are people out there who like that game. But please, why did you not just made your own brand?

I like the game and most of its concepts. But what costs 2 stars in the end was, that the AI cheats. The AI gets more units. This destroys the point of playing the campaign on both sides to see if you could do better on the opposing side. But all the time you have to face superior numbers.. that costs 2 stars for me.
