    Melhor RPG de turnos já feito!
    A personalização de personagens é impressionante, permitindo que os jogadores desenvolvam seus heróis de acordo com diferentes estilos de jogo. As escolhas que você faz realmente importam, influenciando o desenrolar da narrativa e as relações com os NPCs.

    Baldur's Gate 3 stands as a shining example of how a game can capture the hearts of players by staying true to its roots while pushing the boundaries of the genre. A big shoutout to Larian for reminding us all why we fell in love with gaming in the first place.    … Expand

    This game for me is a solid 9 or 10 because it's fun, consumer friendly with no micro and a lot of paths you can choose at your own pace, and MODS! 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

    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.

    The game has no business being as good as it is. I haven't even skipped a single line of dialogue. It's the adult fantasy sandbox I've been craving for years now. Gorgeous visuals and audio. Compelling characters - even the random NPCs feel like they have life.

Do you really have to add beastiality to a video game? Isn't it enough that you can join the idiot woke crusade in the D&D world (why it has any place there is beyond me). Everyone made such a big deal about 'spending hours in character creation' - then I got the game and just wondered to myself what the hell everyone is smoking - must be that fluoride in the water; you pick on of five or six faces, add hair, add facial hair, makeup, scar (all pre-made options), and then... Get ready... You pick your genitals... If you want a penis you have three choices, vagina is two. How anyone sat in the character creation for an hour, or two or three, is insanity. Maybe people got excited because you can have a female, sorry, non-binary with a full beard. Or perhaps it was the amazing addition of vitiligo. People then rave about the visuals; it looks like the same old engine used back in 2017... Oh wait, it is that engine with a few tweaks. It gets the job done, but seriously, it's not setting any bars in that department. Voice acting is on par with DOS2. And the gameplay is on par with DOS2. Then you have the people freaking out that BG3 is now, get this, the highest rated game of 2023. I guess I was in another dimension because it's been pretty bleak in regards to interesting games being released. Good for Larian but be realistic. If Hollywood puts out nothing but the same trivial crap like Marvel and another Liam Neeson clone of Taken, and someone releases something that was highly anticipated and it scores high on release, it's kind of a win by default out the gate. I get that I am in the minority, and massively so, but I just don't have Larian's bit dripping out of my mouth that I failed to swallow and I don't drink the Kool-Aid.… Expand

    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

    Honestly the game is mediocre. For a turned base strategy game with an actual story the old school final fantasies are where it’s at. Sure if you’re a DND fan, and want some raunchy sexual gameplay you’ll love it. Doesn’t work for me.

    Pros:
    Strong cast of characters, with good humor serious emotional moments and compelling stories.

    Diverse combat with multiple ways to go about tackling opponents.

    Tons or replay ability. There are whole story lines companions and quests locked behind different paths.

    DnD elements actually mesh well with the CRPG gameplay.

    The game looks spectacular.

    Cons:

    Performance is sketchy, even after the Driver update today. Memory leak is a real problem for some people and i was sadly one of them.

    Minor bugs and soft locks, save often!

    The penultimate fight is a slog. I hate the way its layered and no way to rest for 1-2 hours meaning you run out of spell slots REAL quick. It's just a boring fight all and all.

    Mechanic in start of Act 2 forces you to be in turn based mode for 30+ minutes unless you have a torch, which probably you won't because why would you?

    The cons apart from memory leak are very minor which is why it gets a 9/10 for me!    … Expand

Baldurs gate 3 sets a high bar of standards when it comes to how far this industry has fallen, and how it should be.

    i am not one that is usually interested in table top games, but baldurs gate 3 mixes AAA cinematic experiences, with the strategic gameplay of a table top, and blends it masterfully to further immerse you into its rich and diverse world full of unique and interesting characters that stand out individually. its truly phenomenal work, and deserves all the love and praise it gets.

    the story is well written, with masses of side content that often distracts you from the main story line, without much notice being taken from said distraction, with how great a quality all the quests actually are all round.. the side quests often quality wise feel like their own main quests, short stories that has ever lasting effects and consequences to the world and story line going forward. its amazing. i actively encourage exploring!

    this game is amazing, and deserves this full score of 10. i do hope that they intend to explore expansions and dlcs that add more races, mixing races (GIMME THE CHANGELING!!!) and more stories, companions, exisiting companion scenes, story and more. id love an expansion that continues the story beyond the endings, and allows you to face a new threat, or just explore the world again.. new game plus even.. as it sucks to say good bye to my character after the story ends.

    buy this game, worth every penny. and even then, by them actually priortitising a good product and fan service over greed, you feel more obliged to buying the additional content (deluxe edition upgrade).. please release more in this in form of expansions :p.. love the game, amazing story, amazing character, great writing, great voice acting all round.. truly earns the Masterful seal of approval. which no game has earned in my eyes a ten in this decade. red dead 2 story came close with a 9.    … Expand

    Not a good game, slowpaste and a rip off dnd. If you like dnd then enjoy this game but overall the game is average and nowadays people overhype wrong games.

    The first act stands out as its strongest aspect. During this phase, characters are introduced more effectively, the story setup is well-executed, and the overall experience is highly immersive.

    However, the quality of the writing noticeably declines in the second and third acts. This decline, coupled with the technical performance issues, makes it challenging to maintain the player's interest and motivation to continue playing.

    In summary, the game is still a commendable effort, but it would have greatly benefited from additional time for refinement and more attention to enhancing the writing in the subsequent acts.    … Expand

    I am nearing 100 hours single player and 5 hrs multiplayer and I want to say this thing is a masterpiece. From the story to the characters and player agency in game, it scratches every RPG itch there is.

Anyone who is afraid of jumping in worried about not playing the previous games, don't bother, it's not needed here. If you're still on the fence about it, I recommend checking any streamer or content on twitch/youtube. Game of the generation this is. Go support it you need.… Expand

    Every time I login into Baldur's Gate 3 and play a session, I can't believe how good this game is. The NPC character's that take the journey with you are as well fleshed out as any Hollywood film actor's role. The voice acting is best I've heard ever in a game. The amount of ways a player can go about a situation is unparalleled in the genre.

The amount of ways a player can go about a situation is unparalleled in the genre. There is so much content it's easy to get overwhelmed, however the game gives the player tools to manage this well. Jaw droppingly beautiful, high res cinematic moments are only a bonus. Larian has just taken the crown to lead the CRPG genre with their efforts. Great drama and humor and excellent narrative make this the best CRPG I've played in decades.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is game of the year. I'm calling it now.    … 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.
