I returned the pre-release, but purchased the finished BG 3 after my trusted Youtube reviewers gave it the thumbs up and yeah even with the bits wokery it's game of the year by a landslide.
I am delighted to be proved wrong.
the atmosphere would be great, but movement is slow, combat is annoying. i would like to play for the story, and set the difficulty accordingly but still - some damn spiders kill me on the first map. and the dice, that frakkin dice, i would blast it to hell!! should be a switch to turn it off.
this game is like a boring desk job that pays well.
No surprise that this game won the GOTY, it really shows how every detail, every corner is polished to perfection, not to mention it deviates from the usual money sinkhole and anti-consumer tactics other studios apply to their games. Legend of a team and game, 10/10 Voice acting, plot, and all.
I just hope it adds Ray tracing, Ray reconstruction, Frame generation, and even XeSS :0 That'll be cool
