博德之门3

Any compelling gameplay is drowned out by very poor writing. The characters are cookie cutter, bland, and empty. Zero character building. It’s more of a platform for the developers to talk about how they feel and believe than to write a fantasy story. Wouldn’t recommend. There are a few mods that help this situation, but just avoid.

-game lol i wish they had just taken another year to finalize everything rather than making me uninstall and reinstall over and over to download new updates every few months

The game's in a pre-alpha state at the moment, a lot of things are missing and very few of them are working correctly. In my opinion it's way too unstable, buggy and unfinished even for an early access release. Unless you're a mega fan, or you want to pay full price to be a Larian QA tester basically, i can't recommend this game to you right now. I had several ctd, framerate drops, stuttering issues and many gamebreaking bugs, overall not a good experience. We were supposed to give our feedback but with so many technical issues and missing content, right now even that makes no sense. I'm a huge fan of the series and i trust Larian, i'm positive this will be a good game in the future but it was released too early. So wait for now, save your money you're not missing out on anything. I'll update this in the future.

I am coming from the Divinity titles which I LOVED - without a background in BG and no knowledge about it. I know the game is in early access but this is not the reason I am giving it a 1 star. This randomization/dice rolling is taking the fun out of the game and it adds a huge element of randomness which makes you feel like you are not in control of anything. The spells and character upgrade paths are so overly complicated I have finished playing for over 6 hours and I have no idea what is going on and what I am doing. If this is not enough they have added so many different action profiles (such as bonus action, etc) and many combinations of each and what is worse to replenish most of them you have to go to camp each time!

Great presentation, story, voice acting, and exploration. Decent graphics and music. The gameplay and combat unfortunately become far too tedious over time (by end of Act II I was absolutely sick of it). I think this is because of 5e. Combat was the highlight of DOS2, so it's not like Larian doesn't know how to make fun and strategic combat. But the battles in BG3 are repetitive, drawn out, and horribly balanced. They mostly feel far too easy, but then the few battles that are hard feel frustrating instead of challenging. Too much dependence on RNG. The puzzles, traps, and excess of useless and boring items become a chore after a while. It doesn't feel that exciting to get new gear because it doesn't help much, is pretty rare, and is surrounded by garbage loot that makes looting a chore. 5e is also just way too simple and limiting, not to mention a level cap of 12. NWN2's 3.5e character building options were far better. If you care more about story and dialogue you will likely love this game. But if you're like me and engaging gameplay is the absolute most important thing, it might not keep your attention through the end. I quit in Act 3.
