After 15 hours with Baldur's Gate 3, I can safely say this game is trending in the proper direction. It isn't just Divinity Original Sin 2 with another coat of paint, but rather a highly reactive and choice driven adventure with Larian's best presentation yet that will kick your butt all over the place. At this rate and if it can hold up, it's an easy GOTY contender for RPG fans.

As someone who never played a Baldur's Gate or Divinity Original Sin game, I am eager to understand the game and DnD rules, the difficulty will make it more rewarding. The replayability factor seems INSANE, when you imagine all the options you could take, whether you will succeed with an option or not, whether you will be pulled into combat! Finally some good efing food.

As someone not familiar with D&D I had to check some guides on youtube to understand the basics - the tutorial in BG3 doesn't explain basic things like actions, bonus actions etc at all. After a couple of hours I had a battle against 4 enemies and it took me.. around 30 reloads before I finally managed to beat them. They hit superhard, I hardly did any damage to them.. not sure if I wasn't supposed to do that battle yet, battles after this one were much easier but yeah.. I'm on team 'This is hard' :)

Something that may help with the framerate issues, I was having lots of issues when I was playing, even at the lowest settings I was having super low framerates and graphical concerns, until I turned off the "borderless window" and changed it to "full-screen". That pretty much fixed it right up for me. I was running ultra settings at around 60fps in most areas after I made that change. I don't know for others, but the borderless window was the default setting, so I did have to manually change it in the settings of the game. If you are experiencing graphics issues, I highly recommend trying out fullscreen over the window options if you haven't yet.

I agree it's great to see complete games like this , or Elden Ring that don't rely on Microtransactions! But Baldur's Gate or long games like Persona 5, Dragon Quest XI, etc. it's not always for everyone. I love those game but have difficulty finishing them, as they are TOO long! For some reason, with Dark Souls, Elden Rings, etc. that are long games , I did not have this dragging experience. I also love "in an out" games like Diablo IV, Path of Exile, Rogue-Like/Lite games like Dead Cells that don't ask this level of commitment :) I will probably play it at one point, but finishing it? not sure haha!

Go ahead and fanboy! I've played about 15 hours of the early access and one thing I constantly found myself doing is looking at the armor of character in cutscenes instead of their faces. It was blown away with the detail on the armor and clothes. It looked layered and not painted on like you see in most games. It's okay to geek out at the little stuff like facial features because they got all the little details right and it's impressive to see that much attention to the small things that makes the overall experience extremely enjoyable and immersive.

Doing this make fix those framerate issues you and/or others are having. But yes so far this is game of the year for me! Maybe game of the century. I have been waiting for a game exactly like this since forever. I hope it inspires other RPGs to incorporate the same amount of player agency that this game offers. It does also have a number of bugs but that is expected in a game of this scope.

I've been a skeptic about BG3. I did not enjoy Divinity Original Sin 1 or 2, but everythng (and I mean everything) you mentioned in this review was music to my ears. "Hard" Gameplay? Check Deep, intriguing, "BioWare-like" NPCs? Check Deep, "complicated" mechanics? Check Dice rolls for success instead of how good you are with the controller clicks? Check Good voice acting with emotive video? Check Even frame rate drops in busy areas, showing that priority went somewhere else than graphics felt like a bit of a plus. I was going to skip this game, despite being a HUGE BG1 and BG2 fan from way back, but after your review, I am officially hyped about this game. Thank you for that!

A super simple fix for the inventory is just have tabs with each type. I know you can put everything into backpacks and pouches, but tabs would be so much easier. Weapons, armor, keys, potions, materials, and alchemy. But an inventory issue in no way makes this game anything less than a 10/10. Such an amazimg game.

Sunk 120 hours into early access. (About 2 months ago so most patches were in effect) and I knew the gaming community was sleeping on a true wonder. Gonna download when I get home but I'm guessing you missed the secret in the abandoned chapel (may want to go back there) 😉

Great overview, man. Given your love for old Bioware, and particularly Dragon Age: Origins, how reminiscent of that game was this one? DA:O is my favorite game of all time, and I'm trying to figure out how much of its DNA is in BG3.

Having put about 50 lockdown hours into BG1 which was real time with pausing, turn based is way better suited to this kind of game where tactics and resource management (spell slots, potions, etc.) are in the forefront. I've thoroughly enjoyed what I've played of DA:O and inquisition, but having time to plan your tactics and combo up moves really helps this kind of game shine.

I played old-school D&D (BECMI) and my tastes (for tabletop) run to revival games like OSE, so I have no experience with or interest in tabletop 5E. Without any such experience, how accessible is the game?
@triscult
@triscult Жыл бұрын
It's certainly more accessible than reading through the core rulebooks for the tabletop version! Pretty much everything you do in this game revolves around your pool of resources (Main Action, Bonus Action, and Movement, with others potentially based on your choice of class.) Those are made apparent above your hotbar. But as far as stats, it's still pretty convoluted by nature, so you'll probably need to dive into that stuff if you want a better understanding of what's going on. Lots of micromanaging and different screens with boatloads of numbers, so if that's not your thing it might be a turn-off. As far as I've seen, the tutorials explain the basics, but leave a good amount for people to figure out on their own.
