    I have finished act 2 with two separate characters using good and bad paths, and the amount of freedom is insane. If you play RPGs then buy this game. There is a scale to your choices, not just good or bad, great worldbuilding, great voice acting, great combat like dos2, the writing is awesome, there isn't any political message, good character development, companions aren't just pawns,I have finished act 2 with two separate characters using good and bad paths, and the amount of freedom is insane.

    A breath of fresh air in a time of half finished games and overpriced DLC just to complete the game. This has been one of the best gaming experiences I've had in years.

    It's an oustanding RPG experience with player agency and world reactivity like never before. It's just great. And in some aspects, for a cRPG, the game is innovative.
    P.S. I've read some negative comments and... plenty of people praising the game with a score of 0? Don't forget the score before you post, people.

    Well-built storyline.
    Money instead of advertising and stars here actually went to the quality of the product.

    Additionally.
    -No paid dlc on release day.
    -No microtransactions.
    -No lootboxes

    Even the recently fashionable political/ideological propaganda is not too intrusive.

    Awesome game. It draws in its non-linearity and variety of everything you can do. There is everything here, from stealthy and thoughtful passage to madness and rash decisions that will most likely complicate the game, but the game does not become less interesting. In general 10/10.

    I can't explain how much fun I'm having with this game... it's honestly my personal GOTY, and it feels really nice to play with friends too. I'll recommend this for any Tabletop RPG (D&D mostly) fan, it feels like a campaign. But I'll let you know, if you prefer action games, this might not be a good game for you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright, before I start I'm going to say that I've completed the game with a custom character on tactician. Despite my review of a 10, the game isn't perfect. I'm giving it a 10 because at the time of this review the User Score is sitting at a 9.3, and frankly I think the game is closer to a 9.5-9.7. I could sit here and go into detail on all the ways the game is amazing, but its much easier to explain all the problems. Note again: There will be direct spoilers as to certain combat encounters and story beats will be directly referenced.
    1). Optimization following act 1 can be subpar. The game can become choppy and I tried several times to fix it to no avail. The first point I noticed it was on the escort section of the path to the moonrise towers.
    2). I think there were missed opportunities in regards to companion dynamics. Some companions get far more love than others in terms of reactions and conversations. The most glaring example is Minthara. I recruited her, and she barely reacted to anything throughout act 2, until the end. She started to become more vocal around act 3, and I was excited to see more interaction only for that to ultimately stagnate to a fairly formulaic set of dialogue options that every companion suffers from in the final act. Additionally, I think that companion romances should generally be opt-in rather than opt-out. Unless it makes sense for the character to be particularly flirty due to personality *cough* Astarion *cough* it feels off when you're just trying to be nice and suddenly everyone thinks you're in a relationship *cough* Gale *cough*.
    3). There were certain departures from the way that 5e's combat system works that I think were ultimately not good decisions. The most egregious example is most likely the bonus action shove. For context during the Cazador fight, I had a cleric cast Sunlight (or w/e the name of the level three light up an opject/area spell is). Then I had a martial character run up to him from where he had run (directly to the edge of the platform which we were fighting upon) and shove him with like an 85-90% chance of success. Theoretically, a bonus action one-shot the boss 80-90% of the time probably shouldn't be in the game. During some of the later fights steps were made to counter this strategy. I'm on the fence about multiple leveled spells per turn, and sneak attack should be a toggle feature such that it can be used on reactions. Or there should be a reaction Attack of Opportunity sneak attack at the bare minimum.
    4). Larian is full of absolute bastards. They fully coded in Undead patron warlock and Conquest paladins as enemies, but didn't make them playable subclasses. I haven't played a warlock, so maybe there are patron specific interactions and adding an additional warlock patron would have required additional work, but I would have played a conquest paladin in an instant if it was in the game. */rant over*
    Now here's the thing. That's all of my problems with this game over a 72 hour playthrough. The combat might not be for everyone, but that's true of any genre. All of these problems don't change the fact that the game is incredibly good. I saw one criticism that BG3 is too dissimilar to the original BG games by virtue of the fact that BG3 is turn based. To that I will say that the original BG games were also turn based, they just disguised the turns by when actions triggered. The story beats that hit, hit hard. I haven't felt the feeling of "Anything is possible" more in probably any game ever, particularly of a narratively heavy game. They recommended uninstalling early access before installing the full game on release, and I said in my review *jokingly* "We'd better be able to **** a mindflayer or the people riot"... It was a joke Larian you sick ****s. However, I asked and they answered and as a matter of respect I obliged. The game feels like a theme park where at most of the rides they put "Here's a big red button, I'm not telling you to push it, but the option is there". DOS 2 was a widely acclaimed game when it came out, and BG3 is effectively DOS 2, but better by pretty much every metric. I think it deserves GOTY, if they decide to release a standalone sequel or DLC I'd buy it happily.
    Finally, as a commentary on the idea that "BG3 is setting a new standard on games, or it should not" all I can say is this, BG3 is extraordinary. I think that if Larian's methods were instituted on a broader scale people would be more likely to get better games. That being said, it likely will not happen and I think the criticism of developers is misattributed because corporations don't view what Larian has done as being the most optimal method of producing profit. That's a shame because it hurts consumers most in the end, and the only impact we can have on that is to support the games that do have time and care put into them.
    Big thanks to Larian for making a great product.    … Expand

    And that's exactly what BG3 is a good game. Larian Studios shown that the community will appreciate effort put into a game, the effort of responding to feedback when given, that by making a good game it WILL be profitable.

    That being said, the game is a CRPG fan dream. The adaptations from D&D5e done by Larian are pretty damn good I keep getting surprised when I see something that would actually happen in a D&D table top session being possible in this game. I had around 90 hours in the EA phase and atm I'm still in the first part of the full game and I see around 35 hours of gameplay has passed(and that's only in 1 character so far!). I have full intent to pursue different paths with other characters so I believe this is going to be the most played game in my library.

    If you crave for a D&D adventure and don't have the possibility of playing the tabletop RPG, this is a very good place to satiate your needs.
    Congratulations Larian Studios for what I believe to be a game to be placed among the halls of classics to be remembered for years on end.

Yes you can mod this as easy as Skyrim does, now I am a D&D player and I have been a GM for at least 10 years experience and I rated this in the prospective of a D&D casuals

    the new players that doesn't understand D&D may face confusion such as "why my attacks are all missing, even XCom are not this bad" or "why everything is a dice roll even each attacks or defend", that is a given and will happen but as everything goes in this life, keep on learning and playing you'll soon learn a whole new world in the D&D perspective and you'll thank me later    … Expand

    No I'm 40 hours in, in 3 days.. Its a lifewrecker and you have a hard time letting go because of the constant cliffhangers. The choices and consequences, possibilities to develop your charachter, the voice acting and the massive amount of voice acting is very good! It looks VERY good for using older engines like DX11 and Vulcan. I whish there was more multiplayer options though, that would be the KILLER of mmorpg. Sending a certain company MS just tries to buy directly to Hell without passing start.. (monopoly reference) I am truly amazed, the second and third games in a series usually makes them crapier and crapier. But this is like a new start, a good start, a finnished and featureperfect game that just works with no bugs at all for me. The story is long large and entertaining, and you make it the way you decide to. I am tempted to say this might be the best game ever made to date, I think even hardcore fps gamer are able to like this. But for the beautiful art it is fully fledged, you do need a good GPU. I play on a RTX 3080 And that is enough to run it on high or ultra. I cant really put that as a minus, because that is our own choice what hardware we use, they just makes it possible to play with lesser, and OFC if they are going to make it very nice no matter which game it is, you need fast hardware. If they made all games to look alike and the weakest hardware as reference there would be no development and nicer graphics. And all the gpus would go to the miners rather than displaying how good games can look and feel. I just get mad when people whine about that they are not able to play graphic heavy games on their laptops with all the whistles and bells that a premium graphics card gives the game developers to build into the game. STOP IT, you need to understand that gamedevelopers want their products to be smooth and nice like high framerate uhd video and have a lot of graphic features making it real and smooth, and for that they need power. In 10 years you probably can buy a new laptop which gives todays games run like a new premium GPU today.    … Expand

    Visuals and art style and animations are all top notch, barring a few minor hiccups and glitches with the camera, but the soundtrack and music more than makes up for that with some of the most iconic and epic music I've ever heard in gaming. Borislav's genius really shone through with this game.

    The level of ambition in this game with the attention to detail and the amount of pathways to navigate the storylines and plots for each Origin and each Act are mind-blowing. And with all of the visual fidelity and cinematic animations on par with many AAA studios. The level of care put into ensuring nearly every pathway for the various class and race combinations are explored in a satisfying manner is truly jaw-dropping.

And god damn it shows how much they care about this product and the legacy that the "Baldur's Gate" name carries on with Larian studios and Baldur's Gate III, forever endeared in my heart.

    I thought I've reached an age where I stopped enjoying video games, but this game made me realise that I live in the time where most video game companies are just copy-paste cashgrabs and eventually everyone in the community forgot what it feels like to enjoy an actual game.

    It makes me feel like a kid, wanting to do just one more quest before switching off, only to realise it's 4am, I have a job and no longer a kid that have ample free time. It's like coming out of a toxic relationship thinking "damn maybe the problem lies with me" only to be welcomed by Baldur's Gate III that actually understands you, makes it really easy to talk to and make an effort back to them instead of feeling like doing a chore when doing anything with them for hours on end and you never want it to end.

To be honest, a couple of times I puzzled over it all so much that I had to peep into the guides.
    + Bright, memorable companions. Each of them stole my heart, and even Laezel, with whom we have a difference of opinion. My applause goes to the voice actors and everyone involved in creating the characters in this game. And the personal quests of Karlakh and especially Astarion made me cry.
    + A combat system heavily reworked from the DnD 5e system that rewards the creativity and little tricks of the player. I'm not a big fan of turn-based combat, but the local one pulled me in with my head. Holy Kitties, what a thrill I experienced every time I managed to outwit the enemy, find some interesting tactical solution, and so on. Not only did the battles from time to time not become duller, so the game periodically also threw up interesting conditions for success.
    + Opportunities for roleplaing. The game is attentive to the race and class of the player, which is just fine. For example, playing as a drow, I walked back and forth through the goblin camp as if at home, and no one even objected to me either at the entrance or anywhere else. And being also a bard, I very often managed to agree with the characters about what I needed without bloodshed. And this is just my personal example, and there are many such variations in the game.
    + The beauty of the surrounding world. It is detailed, rich, destructible, interactive. It wants to be explored and used during battles. The lighting here is especially beautiful, sometimes I lingered in locations just to admire them.
    + Faces of characters. For me, this is a separate highlight and from now on my personal little fetish, which I will look for in future games from other studios. The way the characters act in the cutscenes, gesticulate actively, use facial expressions and every wrinkle and muscle on the face is involved in this... Just wow. Sometimes I caught myself involuntarily holding my breath from acting out other characters and copying the facial expressions of my own drow.
    + Delightful musical accompaniment. The soundtrack of the game is already downloaded on my Spotify and listened to several times. Infrequently, the music inside the game has such a strong effect on me: where it evokes sadness and sentimentality, somewhere else it adds fighting spirit and courage. That moment in Raphael's mansion was unexpected and chicly appropriate. The song Take Control and the moment with it from the Control game immediately came to my mind. And when the end credits rolled and their title song played, I simply burst into tears from all the emotions accumulated over a long adventure. I think it's worth it.

    Throughout the entire game, with the exception of a few major battles, my laptop ran the game's ultra-settings at 50 fps at QHD resolution.
    Even upon arrival in the city, I did not experience significant problems, and I have only a couple of small "buts" in relation to this game:
    - The apparently unfinished final part of the game, which begins after the gates to the Upper City. But I think this is a temporary problem, which will be fixed in subsequent patches and hotfixes, which Larian do not skimp on.
    - From what I've heard, a lot of content was cut that was potentially interesting and expanding on the story of the game. I hope it will be added later or its tails sticking out in the game will be polished a little. But its absence does not affect the complexity and pleasure of the game, in my opinion.
    - Cluttered epilogue. It seems that everything was enough for me, and I had a final dialogue with the favorite, but I wanted something like "a year later" for the satellites with whom I managed to become related in more than a hundred simulated hours, as well as small epilogues for those characters and for world, which somehow influenced my actions. We can only hope that the developers will listen to us and add this to the game.

    My review turned out to be unexpectedly large, although initially I did not even know how to express my emotions and impressions of Baldur's Gate III. In my eyes, it's amazing. I have been waiting for it for several years and I will go through it more than once alone and with friends.
    And separately I want to say immense thanks to Larian Studios, which, most likely, will not see this, but still. Despite all the difficulties for decades, they did not turn off the intended path, but gained experience and released games better and better, putting a piece of their soul into them. Baldur's Gate III is their crowning achievement right now, but I'm sure these developers will be able to surprise us in the future. Thanks to them for their intelligence, creativity, perseverance and respect for their audience. Strength to them and inspiration for future games!    … 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.
