Honest Game Trailers | Baldur's Gate 3

[@JeremyLambright]

"The main characters are a bunch of horny losers who can't seem to do anything right." Pretty much the best description of a D&D adventuring party ever.

[@zoefarr2600]

So much so that we ended up calling one of our troupes "The Bouncing F@#!wits of Doom"

[@ganshrio7336]

Very true!

[@ACAB.forcutie]

One of the reasons this is so close to real D&D

[@highdefinition450]

that's literally the joke he makes lmao what

[@riffgroove]

I played in a large D&D group quite a few years ago. About a dozen of us got together every Sunday from noon until about 10pm. 5 members of the group were girls. DMing a regular party is hard enough. Girls bring an entirely new kind of chaos to your gaming session. As frustrating as they were at the time, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

[@coreylemon]

One of my friends has made a staunch effort to avoid all romance paths in the game. He told us that Withers will apparently openly mock your character for being apparently fated to not find love lol

[@randomdude4983]

Funfact: He will also mock your companions if they dont find love. So if you for example tell Karlach you only want to be friends and you later talk to Withers with her, he will mock her.

Yah... this game made me feel bad as an AroAce...

[@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human]

​​@@Ace_MausWeirdly, I'm AroAce IRL, but I enjoy watching other people find romantic love. In media, I'm always "MAKE THEM SMOOCH!", I knocked boots with every possible option in my playthrough before settling down to a monogamous relationship with Karlach. It would have been nice though if the game wasn't so anti AroAce it openly mocks you if you don't bump uglies with a party member on the regular.

[@Soloee_]

I'm also doing a no romance playthrough. Usually if I get really invested in romance I will almost stop caring about anything else, so to fully focus on the story I decided to avoid it completly for now. Though now I almost can't wait to be done with the game so I can have a bit of romance lmao. I've played for 100 hours and I'm still not at the end. I want to kiss Shadowheart, but I can'ttttt

At a good table, yes, it’s pretty accurate. And as long as you all agree on the tone/style of the game, it will last longer. If you’ve got that one guy who wants it to be an episode of Rick and Morty, while another wants deep and meaningful role play, someone it going to get pissed off.

[@Jonathan1002887]

Just like the others have said, it's the group, but a good portion falls on the DM. Your group could've had session after session and then gets a DM change thst ruins it. I've been part of 4 groups that have had the many flavors of dnd dismissal. DM sucked, the many *many* flavors of "that guy", and the all too unfortunate life changing monkey wrench... "That guy" isn't limited to: bringing a romantic intrest into tonight's campaign, playing the bard with the intent to bed all npcs, the "why aren't you larping?", *the spellcasters looking up their spells not in a convenient place* , and my personal favorite... that guy who can't keep fiction from reality nor seperate the session(s) from your day to day.

[@PaperScarecrow]

If you get a good group and a great DM it's incredible. Roll20 and tabletop simulator with D&D mods make remote play a pretty engaging experience when combined with discord and such as well. I run my groups over a few beers on the weekends with almost exclusively homebrew content, because I know my players are going to go off the rails and force me to warp the plan to fit their insanity. As others mentioned you absolutely must make sure that your party agrees on a setting, otherwise people can get salty and quit.

I've found that physical dice hate me more than the game. I'm known to turn dice "cold" just by rolling them once. I've had GMs have me roll stat arrays three times because of how bad I was rolling, just to have them roll me one themself so that we're not sitting around until we've run out of time. I've even stopped making "cool" or "fun" characters because they're all fated to be completely incompetent due to the fact that I've somehow angered the dice gods. And the one to three nat 20s of the session are almost always going to be something like initiative.

Bugs are technical issues that just happen, and can be fixed.

THAT is something truly missing in most games these days and THATs why BG3 and some other games stand out so much from the crowd. BG3 was made with passion while AAA Gaming usually is made to simply make as much money as they possibly can first and everything else is secondary.

Plus cutting words will force a miss (making it like a shield spell that recharges on short rest,) or forces an enemy to fail key savings throws. Plus offheals, and great utility casting.

My power supply just couldn't take it on day one with max graphics (which the game auto loads with because my graphics card is better than my power supply). So, the first day, I got maybe 15 minutes in with me saving like a paranoid lunatic. It's not bootlicking for everyone. A lot of people didn't get to play until a lot of the bugs were patched, and that was on day 2 after release. OP also didn't say it was bug-free, just that they hadn't experienced a bug, yet. Since the first day and the constant system crashes, it's been fairly smooth sailing, as soon as I figured that it was my power supply that was the problem. Haven't noticed any really glaring bugs at all. Just some crashes when my system doesn't like the graphics setting combined with the particle effects, and has a seizure. For a 5-year old system that was made with mostly spare parts, I'll take it.

[@halycon404]

Really kinda depends what you're doing. Paladins and Monks are kinda buggy. They weren't part of early access so didn't get play tested by thousands of people. Some of the quests from early in game can be a bit off for the same reason. Some of the items got nerfed from EA and don't work correctly afterwards, so a build around them doesn't work as stated if going for that. It really does just depend. Most players probably can make it through Act 2 without noticing. All totaled, there's probably another full year to two years of development that if history repeats itself Larian will put into BG3 before they release the Definitive Edition which fixes it all. Upside if Larian keeps to past business decisions the DE is free to players who already bought the game.

If you didn't encounter bugs you were lucky as all hell or skipped 90% of the content (in act 3, act 1 and 2 only had slight bugs like gaining 1 point of charisma every time I loaded a save or being permanently encumbered or items disappearing. Although my main issues with the game aren't the bugs, those I expect in any big RPG, but rather the extremely weird design choices with skill checks, party interface, camp system, UI, QOL and plot.
