    I have played Baldur's Gate 3 for 170 hour and this game is literally fascinating and I think it is one of the closest things to perfection and I don't agree with Swen because this is the new standart and golden age of RPG. Everything the game has to offer and the amount of time and effort that goes into it is really crazy. Every major game studio should take a lesson from Larian.

    I can not believe all the options and freedom you have with this game.

    Story, characters, soundtrack, artwork, gameplay all is top, and a well built world.

    The best adaptation of D&D in a videogame.

    This is a seminal CRPG experience. It brings forward the classic D&D CRPGs of the original Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment and adds in the Divinity Original Sin 2 DNA. The quality of the voice acting, story, environments and systems come together to present a fantastic experience. If you enjoy sinking into a game world in its entirety, this is the one to get.

    Larian have created a masterpiece that we will be playing for years. And no microtransaction, no post launch patches, nerfing XP gain, to sell us XP boosters, no broken release.

    And BECAUSE they delivered on their promises. Because they have given us a PURE gaming experience, devoid of insidious, underhanded microtransactions, I just bought the Collectors edition to further support this company, in addition to owning the game for 2 years in early access.

    Its an experience, lovingly crafted by those who genuinely care about the product and the player experience. NOT SHARE HOLDERS.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BG3 is a game like there aren't a lot done in modern times.

    - Incredible scope
    - No locked behind payewall content
    - Insane number of choices you can take in your playthrough, with real gameplay consequences
    - Number of possible outcomes provided on quests, or dialogues is insane. There is no real way if failing a quest, I ou to provide a different outcome
    - fully voiced dialogues
    - you can speak with whichever animal, or even corpses, and get dedicated fully voiced dialogues
    - 150h+ of cinematic content
    - 17000 potential iterations and choices you can take that provide with differing endgame
    - the companions all have interesting backstories, and you are fully immersed in fulfilling their companion quests.

    It's just... Insane

    Also, the 5e adaption is on point.. While not fully in line with 5e, they added homebrew rules that provide tons of fun. Despite being turn based, the fights are quick (quicker than DoS2).

    It's just insane.

    Meanwhile, BG3 is fun, full of content to explore and enjoy. The combat is a big improvement over Dviniy OS 2, and the 5th edition D&D rules fit right in and enhance everything you are doing. Coop is a delight as it always is in a Larian game, you can accidently clown over your friends (or purposely..) and they can do the same to hilarious effect. The game is complete, and though not without bugs, you can tell the plan was to release the best product they could.

    There's a reason why many studios announced ahead of the BG3 release that you shouldn't expect the game to be a new standard, and that their games are simple incapable of being as good as this. They are terrified of consumers expecting them to release finished and working products for a single price without pressuring you to spend hundreds of dollars to get the full experience.

    You should thogh. Buy more BG3s and Elden Rings. Buy less Diablo 4s. Do that, and we can expect more quality games like this.    … Expand

    You can have several skills and different elixirs, potions, crafting etc. Like Witcher 3

    Different monsters/races/characters

    Very good cut scenes

    All characters have a story to tell or interact with in the story.

    Not like that soulless diablo game where you have 75x Blacksmiths just slapped along with copy + paste.

    You can go in different directions in the game and have different decisions, therefore different endings of the story.

    You can see when developers make an effort what a divine game the result is.

    I could say more positive things about Baldur's Gate 3, but that's enough for now. I recommend Baldurs Gate3 to everyone who also likes turn-based games (DnD)

    But for now, the game gets a 10/10.

    I was waiting forever for a good RPG with modern graphics and gameplay. BG3 really goes above and Beyond.

    But that said, the story, the freedom of choice and variety of consequences, cure to detail in every single little bit of the game is astonishing. This is a masterpiece, the devs have all my respect, especially to reject the current micro-transaction model of most mainstream games.

    Also, this game has so much replayability that I'm sure ppl will keep playing it for decades.

    It could feel pretty complicated for whom is not familiar with D&D, like myself, but there is plenty of guides in YouTube that explains everything is great detail.

    According to steam I have 123 hours in BG3 so far, (around 70 or so are from early access) and I haven't even finished act 1. So far it is one the best games I've ever played, and I don't think that's going to change. Thank you Larian for the excellent game.

    The vast array of skills, builds, classes and char customisation is second to none.
    The story is strong, but is enhanced by having a fantastic array of side quests to compliment it and allow you some time away from chugging right through the story.

    Very refreshing that the goal the developers had in mind was making the game fun, and not exploiting you for money. A well made quality game with creativity in mind and not corporate greed is a rare find lately.

    The story is interesting and creatively inspired, and the combat is extremely diverse and never dull or samey. If you like DnD or strategy games I fully recommend Bauldur's Gate 3.

    No DLC, NO micro transactions. Every npc, object, item has 3d models and animations.
    Characters are so well written, voice actors did a tremendous job making me care for these characters.

    There are very few game development studios who are focused on delivering a truly great game compared to their competitors, Larian Studios is clearly filling the gap that Blizzard, EA and Ubisoft are leaving in the gaming market, they clearly value passion, enjoyment and creativity over money and it shows in BG3.

    Great game that surprises more and more with each passing hour. The presentation of the story, the characters, the visuals, the dialogue and, most importantly, the role-playing component - everything here is done on some almost unattainable level.

    Baldurs Gate 3 is nothing short of incredible.

    It's evocative story, nuanced characters; and the beautiful presentation of the forgotten realms puts this RPG in a class of its own. The voice acting and script are superb, and every character's personality, preferences, and mannerisms brings them to life in a way that makes you feel attachment to the heroes and hatred for its villains.

    Under the hood, the game has perfectly adapted the dice-rolling tabletop rules for D&D without alienating those new to 5ed rules by making them have to learn the ponderous tome that makes up the rulebook. If you want to learn the ins and outs, or you regularly play 5ed rules at a tabletop you will feel right at home.

    If you don't, then you simply don't need to. All the dicerolling is done in the background and hit chances in the turn based combat shows percentages of your success in killing your enemies.

    I had already racked up 99 hours in early access over the past 2 years, and seeing the development unfold in a way which has included its community at the centre of every decision has been a privilege.

    I look forward to seeing more of BG3, whether that's in DLC or full-blown expansions which raise the level cap to the godlike levels of 20 and beyond.    … Expand

    With a vast world to explore with varied stories and secrets to discover, Baldur's Gate 3 definitely shines. The cast is largely appealing and voice acting is top notch all-around, even if the storytelling and line delivery is varied in its pace. Character progression is somewhat weak in the opening levels but has a strong foundation for a great buildcraft experience, even if it lacks some on the fly experimentation seen in Larian's past efforts. Despite some performance woes in the later parts of the game and controller hangups, this is a journey worth taking for fans of Dungeons & Dragons or those new to the role playing field.

    Larian Studios, the creators of the latest installment, have gone to great lengths to make sure they didn't disgrace any of the franchise's building blocks. The love and care is evident in Baldur's Gate 3, though needless to pretend, there aren't a few bricks crumbling here and there in this monument. It's far from a perfect title, but on the whole Baldur's Gate 3 is a brilliant computer RPG that is undoubtedly not to be overlooked. [Issue#329]

    Baldur’s Gate III is a title that many would not have thought possible just a few years ago. The game serves to further Larian Studios’s already strong reputation, and the studio deserves massive credit for refusing to panic, taking its time to get things right, and continuing to offer improvements even after launch at an impressive rate. Hopefully, it is able to reap the richly deserved rewards for doing so.
