Well, i have been waiting for this for too many years! But it's not BG3 its new BG, it has nothing to do with BG1 or BG2 or any expansions, get that straight also there will be BG 4-5-6, etc... I believe it will get better and maybe one day there will be some awesome mod that will make it into more of old-style game.
Currently missing any fellowship also just 4 party members, Illithids were second-rate enemies at best, u were whipping floors with them and all the underlings when u were lvl 7 and up, just needed to be a little sneaky at start. DnD 5 rules are like they are and overall it has no feeling and I just finished BG1&2 again so fresh feelings...
I have got a lot of crashes so far.. if you really, really want it now (like me) buy it the game looks awesome so far. If not, wait a little, they will fix lots of bugs in the coming months. i'm sure of it
If you liked Divinity Original Sin 2 this is a dream come true. In early access you get about 20 hours to see what is cooking and man it is awesome. Beware this is not the complete game and you will most not likely be able to carry your early access saves to the final game. But I can think of far worse things than having to play these first 20 hours over again. Enjoy!
A 2 star game that only gets a 3rd star due to how pretty everything looks.
The story-telling is extremely lacklustre, it doesn't accurately follow the 5e rules and it falls down with the standard RPG disease of levelling items to your character - just because you're a L1 wizard doesn't mean you can't find a L5 sword and wave it around badly like a sharp stick!
The dice roll for simple things like lock picking are an utter frustration of save/reload on failure - skilled characters shouldn't have to 'roll', it should be an automatic 'unlock'.
As is, I'll continue to play the game purely due to the mods available but there's very little chance I'll complete this before something else takes my attention.
