博德之门3

Good game but the story is kind of meh and everyone is special.

No matter how hard I try to like this game (fan of BG1 & BG2), the in game mechanics conceptually are good, however poorly executate to be a fun game. Turn based mode, great concept, but unplayable, you can't group some of your party members, whihc makes it sooo tedious to play. Non turn based, mode, you cant tell a party member to 'not move' , for this you have to enter turn based mode. Battles, the amount of quicksaving to quick loading to win a fight is unbelievble, were a a fight should may be take 10 minutes of game play, this can take 10 hours after dying so many times (aka Nere) as the gameplay ios terribly unbalanced. It is not enjoyable. As much as I try, I cannot find it in me to like this game.

Too many mechanics in this game sour the overall experience. Sure, there may be a good story and some interesting characters (not nearly as interesting as people lead you to believe) but there are features of the game that are downright dumb. For instance, as you look for traps, you often have to be VERY close to get the perception check and even if you do find them, your dumb ass followers will keep walking towards and trip them,

Its a very simplified way of playing dnd, and I appreciate this, besides you can finally enjoy a dnd campaign without scheduling conflicts.

Though it still has lots of annoying problems, this game is clearly suffused with love from the development team and thus results in one of the best RPGs of all time. The scope is giant, the branching storylines must be tremendous. The story telling is second-to-none. The pacing of the game and the critical reveals of new information is masterful. Combat is a lot of fun, but sadly is missing the "ready weapon" mechanic (Solasta does this brilliantly). Encounters are varied and always interesting. The long endgame sequence is probably the best I've ever played. Music is good, but there are better soundtracks in my opinion. The soundtrack's success probably just rode the game's coattails. The game was buggier than expected. I played 100% multiplayer and it seems like every time a patch came out, something significant with multiplayer broke. I had to jump on Discord multiple times to solve problems. But, at least there was always someone from Larian there to help.
