just started and I'm having a great time with the game. Love that I can respec and there's a mod community as well. Think I'm going to sink hundreds of hours in this game.
It's a wonderful game and well reviewed elsewhere. I only gave it 4-out-of-5 because it still has jank, urgent quests seem patient, quests with no deadline seem urgent, the camera often sucks, the world is full of empty containers, and there are forced "gray area" choices even where obvious kinder (or more cruel) choices should exist. So, sadly, it is not perfect. Still, it's the closest thing to perfect I've seen since KOTOR, and the sound and graphics are sumptuously modern and gorgeous.
You can tackle problems a ton of different ways, sometimes you can even get away with it, but overall it is a pretty fun game with tons of replay value, not only on the way you can build your character, but also in the way you can mix and match your companions
I played the original 2 + expansion packs many years ago and loved them. Haven't gamed in a long time, but thought I'd try BG3 just for fun. I was hooked in 5 minutes. Now, 300 (game) hours later and it's still a blast!
