It took me a long time to even be able to play this because every time I started I just didn't like it, it wasn't fun. I finally put it in story mode because I realized part of the problem is the combat. A big part, I hate it. It's the worst part of the game by far, so tedious. The more enemies you're facing the worse it is. Story mode allowed me to at least get through all the battles although not quickly, it made it less painful at least. This allowed me to experience the story of BG3 which in my playthough was pretty good, little was contrived, pretty well written and definintely good acting. I don't play D&D and for someone who doesn't know the system it's pretty complex when it comes to builds and skills. I don't know if I ever really took good advantage of what my characters could do. Some seemed pretty useless in combat. Towards the end I got legendary gear and items that didn't fit anyone's builds so they were useless, most of them in fact. As stated in other areas you end up with thousands of unused gold assuming you loot and sell throughout the game. There is evidence of an abandoned crafting system that might have made build/gear synergy more interesting. Ultimately it was a fun story to experience once but the complexity of the builds and rest system with the oh so painful (to me) combat system make me never want to play it again. *FWIW I think they could speed up or even skip enemy turns given that it could pause on any events where you get to have a reaction. Would have no negative effects and would speed things up.
Shows its age somewhat, running is a bit slow but it's fun and different. Plenty of viable options for playing your character the way you want.
Fun with a Goat Simuaror vibe.
Old school arcade style, hunorous dialogue. Player friendly, opposite of soulslike.
Not too long, not too short with an endgame, game+. Reminiscent of original zelda but with modern additions.
