I have not played this game yet, however, I am sure it will be great just like other Larian Studios games. All of the idiots giving this game a 1 star because it is $60 and in early access need to understand that if you buy it now then you get to play the beta of it and you get the game once it is fully released. No game should get hurt because of the idiocy of others and because of said issue, I am definitely going to be buying the game now instead of later to support them.
I'm just joining the action of balancing. I haven't played it. I'm sure I will. I suppose I'd rate it 5 stars anyway. I surely disagree with rating the game just for the price of it... and it's not even expensive for a game nowadays.
On release all the language they were using made it seem like the opening area on day one paid access unlock, was a tutorial zone to get you introduced to the world and systems. Which it does. However that's it. Which is to say there is no this is one of many areas that you will be able to travel to on the world map. The druid goblin area you start in is the game. No baldurs gate. They just half a year ago announced their intention to sell us the other areas as expansions, and that baldurs gate will not be in this release of baldurs gate after non stop talk that they used as a selling point of what the city was going to be. Simply it is not going to be.
The greater problem surprisingly is the childish writing. as an example (minor spoiler alert though i speak as hazily as possible) They have the big bad goblin menace qued up as some big deal and i shit you not they end up liner pipe lining you through a friendly goblin festival.... AFTER YOU KILL YOUR WAY THERE. Nothing flows, nothing makes sense, there is no flesh to the plot. just a plot that rams through everything in a straight line ignoring reason and the world around it.
