I'm just here to thank Larian for this game. As a DnD lover, I've waited for a long time to play a quality game based on DnD rules that doesn't smother you with tons of text, but fully engages you in the game world. I played Original Sin 1,2 and the combat component didn't surprise me much - Larian has always made it good, and here they also adapted the rules and features of DnD perfectly. If you're not a fan of fighting, you can just lower the difficulty, don’t spend a lot of time on it and just enjoy the story. If you are, the game surely will provide you with a challenge. But the most important thing is how the story is presented. Many turn-based RPGs are very difficult to play for a long time. There may be a good plot, characters, mechanics, but they don't immerse you. Here every dialog is voiced, scenes are staged at the level of movies. In some scenes you involuntarily say to yourself: wow, how good it is! It's also really nice that you can play characters with a lot of completely different personalities: you can act as a member of a certain class, you can be a jester or a villain - whatever you want. Anyway, if it so happens that you still haven't played it, you should buy it immediately!
I have JUST finished my first play though after making multiple characters and figuring out what I liked best. This game is amazing. I love bonding with my companions, making difficult decisions, and finding out so much lore and backstory for all of the wonderful characters created for this game. I think the combat style is awesome, and usually feels very smooth and after a few battles it get's easier to match the flow of a battle. There is still so much more content left for me. There is still so much left to do after 223 hours of game play. It will truly take you forever to find everything, and I love that! I can't wait to sink another 200 plus hours into this game. I love it!
I will leave the cat here, so that everybody who passes by can pet it and give it a thumbs up and awards ／＞ フ | _ _ l ／` ミ＿xノ / | / ヽ ﾉ │ | | | ／￣| | | | | (￣ヽ＿_ヽ_)__) ＼二つ
Verdict: Baldur's Gate 3 is probably the best RPG ever published. + Steam achievements (53, require 2 playthroughs) The game is incredible I mean really incredible Amazing story A lot of interesting characters You can play as an original character or one of the premade with established lore If you want to see and do everything, you will have to play the game several times Voice acting is top-notch One of the best soundtracks there is, especially the vocal songs (Final Act, Down By The River...) The graphics are just astonishing No paywall, no DLCs, no game pass Ability to reroll your character completely mid-game Sooo much customisation of your playstyle that you will never do and see everything - No steam trading cards Act 2 and Act 3 bug some quests if you do things out of order which is a huge issue in non-linear game An accidental right click automatically skips cinematics which sucks If you are a hoarder it is impossible to organize your items in camp properly Your party rarely reacts to anything in the last act +/- The game pushes you to save scum if you want all the lore (history, insight and other dialogue checks) It would be nice to have an option to skip checks on some difficulty just for lore purposes Edit: I have just finished the game for the third time (original character, Dark Urge and then Astarion) and I have to say that I still utterly love everything about this game. There are so many different outcomes that I was left with my mouth opened even now
No doubt is a wonderful game, but the bugs and glitches have become so often that in honor mode the game is unplayable and practically impossible to finish. With my party one honor game was lost because at a laggish day in a turn based mode part of escaping the monastery, it was showing different remaining turns on different members of the party, and the second honor mode is eternally locked in a conversation with Mol that keeps repeating "You did this to yourself". All in all, a good game has to have also a decent support.
Let me be clear, They made an amazing game. Ive had more crashes throughout act 3 in the past week than I did through the entirety of early access up to post release patch 5. The stability of this game has gotten ridiculously bad. To the point that I cant even load saves anymore, not for lack of trying to fix it. Every step on their website. Ever step from bug report correspondence. Every fix I could effect from other users that had similar issues. Nothing works. Im getting sick and tired of having it break right at the end of the game and make it impossible to finish a playthrough. With seemingly no recourse or means of fixing it. When that changes. This review will change too. But until then I cant in good faith reccomend people get this right now.
This review is specifically targeted to players looking for a deeply satisfying, D&D tactical turn-based combat experience. If you are anything like me and that's what draws you to put hundreds of hours into games, I seriously don't think you will find it here. Just as a primer, here are some tactical combat-focused games that I have put nearly 1k hours into each: XCOM and XCOM Long War, Battle Brothers, Final Fantasy Tactics. I have also thoroughly enjoyed many a CRPG in my time: NWN 2, DA:O, Shadowrun Dragonfall (and Hong Kong to a lesser extent), and PoE 1 (less so 2). I am the type of player that will gladly sacrifice some story and polish for a deep and tactical combat system. BG3 is neither of those. I can't speak much for the story because I keep getting hung up on how poorly designed the combat system is. Instead of letting the D&D combat system shine on its own, Larian felt the need to put their stink all over it. You have all these abilities and spells, and yet nearly every encounter I experienced devolved into gimmicks and environmental effects. I'm not even going to touch on the broken stealth system (google it). Poor combat design seems to be a theme in Larian games, and the truth is I am more disappointed in myself for giving them a second chance after loathing the combat system in DOS2. (fool me twice, shame on me) Yes the graphics, voice acting, and polish are absolutely incredible. Also, and this seems important to some players, you can let your companion's twig and berries hang free in camp. Hurray I guess? TL;DR If you are looking for a rich and rewarding, tactical turn-based combat system, don't waste your money here. Instead, go purchase Solasta: Crown of the Magistar, and like me, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
hey gamers, gearbox software CEO randy pitchford here. i just finished the game "boulders gate 3" here on my office computer. this latest game by larrys studio is simply too good! my favourite thing about the game has to be the positive portrayal of little people (midgets). i am still very sorry for casting little people as funny enemies in my video game. i also like the character shadowheart. i had her walking around the whole time in bare feet, getting all the debris and mud right between her little toes, just as a joke though gamers! i wouldnt even mind kissing her bare feet. to be honest, im in the toilet crying right now because nothing i can make is as good as this. the game also features no wheelchair bound heroes who i think deserve a leading role, such as in my own game tales from the borderlands 2. for my next game, randy's game 4 starring claptrap (we replaced his voice actor again), i am going to embezzle even more money from sega so i can make an even better game than balders gate 3. i am a magician in real life so this game was actually less exciting than my real day-to-day, casting fire balls at all of the cam girl models i see in the street. goodbye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHOnD-UHuuY
The most impressive looking sex simulator on Steam. You cant get through a single dialogue without at least one person (or creature, or object) trying to sex you. And likewise, your dialogue options are usually mostly ways to sex them. This is not what Baldur's Gate was about. I love the Divinity series and have always respected Larian Studios, but they really did the Baldurs Gate name dirty with this one.
