博德之门3

Apart from the D&D setting the game has very little in common with the originals and everything in common with D:OS. Mechanics might differ slightly, setting is theoretically different, but the game as a whole plays and feels like a bad re-skin of D:OS in almost all of its aspects - and it doesn't do the game any favours, I'm afraid. The combat is boring and takes ages to resolve due to it being turn based. Items are incredibly weak (compared to BG2 especially) - they lack any thought or soul, all of them seem to be randomized and the world is filled with useless junk making looking for new items a chore rather than pleasure. The story so far lacks focus and dialoges are *nothing* alike the originals either - most of them are filled with wacky one-liners and quickly finish. I agree with almost no of the design choices made for this game and have lost any remnants of hope that I will like it. On top of all that Larian seels an unpolished, unfinished game trying to cash in on nostalgia for full price, esentially asking people to be beta testers (the game is very buggy, obviously) and pay for that "privelage". On the flip side, the music is good, although it, too, has little in common with the more epic and bombastic soundtrack of the previous installments.

Act 1 deserve the praise that the whole game receive. Act 2 aggressively mediocre. Act 3 trash.

First the positives. If you liked Divinity Original Sin 1/2, then you will definitely like this game as well. It has similar mechanics, turn-based combat, nicely written origin characters, and a good story with a bit of humor. On the tactical difficulty you can get much satisfaction from combining different skills, spells, scrolls, items and whatnot to your advantage. However, if you played Baldur's Gate most of your childhood, you are nostalgic about it, and you hoped for another good story from Forgotten Realms, the game doesn't offer that.

This is NOT Baldurs Gate, it is Divinity Original Sin 3 with a Dragon Age Skin and D&D Mechanics. Larian is a proven RPG developer and can certainly be a good choice to develop a game in the D&D universe for a broad spectrum of gamers, however its debatable whether this is a good choice for making Baldurs Gate. The Divinity games (good in their own right) and Larians style are polar opposites of Baldurs Gate in feel, characters and story writing. It does not mean they are not up to the task but it is a big ask for them to make so many changes to their usual offerings, there are other companies (Owlcat Games or Obsidian) that would be more naturally inclined to continue those elements achieved by the original developers and wanted by the fans. The problem is they are using the name of a franchise that is much more than its D&D roots. Its popularity as perhaps one of if not the best CRPG in history, has created a huge following. I understand that some changes are normal due to the large timespan since the last game but Larian have ignored what made those games unique from other D&D games. If they use the name Baldurs Gate one would assume they want to draw the attention of new players as well as the followers of the series. They have ignored and alienated the latter part of the consumer base completely which is not very intelligent. Larian show they do not care, they only want to make money with a broader younger audience with the reputation of other peoples visions and hard work just like the trash Disney made with the new Star Wars movies (thank God for Mandalorian). P.S. Even Beamdogs Siege from Dragonspear (BG 1.5) stayed truer to the source material. To this day I still maintain that Pathfinder Kingmaker, NOT Dragon Age is the spiritual successor to BG. Larian just took advantage of the name to maximise sales. If you do not care about the originals and simply want an enjoyable RPG then as a stand alone game it will appeal to those that like DOS and DA.

Its beta, but christ ol mighty the complaints. its 60 and you dont pay for it ever again. when it comes out full release you already have it. Just like most games, you pay full price for pre order just to play beta. People are dumb
