    Las personas que valoran con un 0 este juego deben tener problemas graves...

    Simplemente por sus gráficos, su sonido, su guión, ambientación, sistema de builds... en fin

    El juego es brillante, completamente mágico, lo cierto es que no hay uno igual... Cuánto más avanzas mejor se vuelve, es impresionante

    Combat takes 10 hours per fight just to enjoy 2 min of walking around before the next 10hour fight starts.

    This game is 100% not for me wish they didn't make it turn based who the hell wants to take 10 hours per fight to progress nowhere.

    A legendary "hall of famer" sequel to a legendary game. If only action RPG appeals you just head your way, otherwise it's best turn based RPG of the decade by far (sorry Pillar of Eternity or Divinity) . For you who don't know, BG 1 and 2 are considered as the best heroic fantasy turn by turn RPG made by Bioware at tha time.
    Fallout I and II was the best in Post-Apocalyptic settings for    A legendary "hall of famer" sequel to a legendary game.

For you who don't know, BG 1 and 2 are considered as the best heroic fantasy turn by turn RPG made by Bioware at tha time.
    Fallout I and II was the best in Post-Apocalyptic settings for the same category.
    Been playing in early access for while, and now the final game has shipped.
    in a nutshell

    Pros
    - Turn based tactical RPG with all the best features of that genre,
    - environnement interaction is top notch (fights are much more vertical that can be expected),
    - they stayed true to the Table top RPG AD&D and lore
    - Graphical AD&D eye candy and artstyle.
    - Lots and I say lots of RPG dialogue with choices, implications and consequences.
    - All your NPC can die and has more or less an impact on the story.
    - I felt like the whole "Beast and fiends" creatures were in the game.
    - Rolling the dice is so satisfying, If the game could use connected dices I would buy them.
    - Group management is very good (inventory, roster management...)
    - Multiplayer like in your good old table top game.
    - Music are epic and in the best of the genres.
    - Campaign length is really nice and not over-stuffed by filler fetch quests that sucks
    - Super replayability (I have restarted during the early access, and the prologue was rather different, based on NPC that died or not..)

    Cons
    - Cameras management could be better.
    - a little bit laggish on my intel i12 12900k + RTX4090 (but not frame rate issue) just a overall feel.
    - Still some very minor graphical glitches
    - IA is kinda meh...
    - Abandon hope of social interactions IRL once your sucked into for about 100 hours
    - Kinda tough where you're low level and if you have lost experience playing with level 1 characters for a while on AD&D.
    - UX is not fully intuitive at first but once you get the hang of it, that's pretty fluid

    This game is a monster in all categories and is currently my game of the year.
    It definitely has that "generation-defining" feel.    … Expand

That's my opinion on such games though and if you love other entries in the BG/DnD series, Dragon Age, Pillars of Eternity,, Divinity OS2, etc, you will love this game.

    Combat is as fluid as a turn-based DnD game could be, encounters are well balanced and entertaining with lots of opportunities for an alternative approach. A lot of small improvements have been made so turns don't take as long as in older similar games. The selection of classes is also superb with modding support so you can add or change anything you want. That's a rare thing those days.

    Now I do have some small gripes with the game, like ever horny party members similar to recent Bioware games. The camera could use some preset buttons and I can't care less about the version of the game. But these are all small superficial things, I mention them out of habit, it's rare for me to leave such a positive review.

    If you like a good story, tactical combat or both this game is worth your money. Just buy it.    … Expand

    Finally knocked off The Witcher 3, The Last of Us 1 and 2, Spiderman, and bodies Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Two of the greatest games ever made are RPGs, march the beat of their own drummer, and represent everything good about gaming with maximum quality and no microtransactions!

    Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 defined my teenage gamer years. I'm so very glad the series has found a worthy developer to carry on the legacy of those older games -- and really, to exceed them in many ways. As far as I'm concerned this is as close to a perfect CRPG as we're ever likely to see. I hope this provides a foundation for a renaissance of digital Forgotten Realms content.

    I won't post spoilers, so I'll keep this at a very high level. This is the best turn based RPG I have ever played.

    Its not ALL roses, there are several bugs, some slow downs, but nothing super significant, all of which will be patched in time. This is pretty much expected in a game like this. If small bugs bother you, then just wait a couple of months before starting (but I don't think thats necessary.

    You don't need a knowledge of the previous games to play and if you were a D&D fan when you are young (or now), you'll be in RPG heaven.    … Expand

    Developers just like they did with Elden Ring are jealous of the success of this massive incredible game.
    They say its an anomaly and not a new standard.

    Here is why BG3 sadly is a bad game:

    - Worst camera handling ever in a 3D RPG! Tedious, imprecise, time consuming navigation on PC; can't speak for controller/Steam Deck.

    - Worst camera handling ever in a 3D RPG! Tedious, imprecise, time consuming navigation on PC; can't speak for controller/Steam Deck. Larian either has no Game Systems Designer or a really bad one.
    - A UI that is miles behind the UIs of e.g. Solasta or Dragon Age Origins. Icons and text are way too small. Tooltips on abilities and spells lack important information. A spellbook that is an embarassment. The item sort function only works in one inventory menu, not in others, and there are no item filters. The list continues... When you think Bethesda does bad UIs, try BG3. Abysmal, haha!
    - Bad performance on my relatively fast laptop (GF 3070, 32 GB, Intel 13700). The music stutters and there seem to be some serious issues with the memory-/heap-management code which result in stuttering when assets are loading/swapping.
    - Unfaithfull implementation of 5e rules.
    - 99% of chest/barrel/dead body loot is irrelevant.
    - Landscape and dungeon graphics are oversaturated and except for some characters of really bad quality. Having heard the iconic soundtracks of BG1 and 2, BG3 features one of the most unmemorable sountracks of all RPGs I have ever played, and these go back to Ultima 4.
    - The Gameplay is tedious and mostly boring, the load times >1 min on a 2TB 970 Evo SSD.
    - Turn based combat is a bad choice for BG3. Anybody try to design a battle like the Watcher's Keep last sigil or the Twisted Rune one in turn based mode? Happy failing! :-)
    - Crashes. I had 2 in the first 20 minutes in the character creation.

    BG3 is neither a spiritual successor of BG2 nor a good RPG. It features typical Larian **** gameplay with irrelevant and flat characters, zero tension and the absence of any atmosphere. Typical Larian style color grading makes for a Walt Disney compatible world full of woke boringness. Sadly Swen Vinke and his team didn't have the slightest idea what made BG1 and BG2 great games. They just don't get the grasp of the concept of Baldur's Gate.

    What a disappointment!    … Expand

    One of the best games I've ever played in my life. I thought Larian could not do better than in DoS II, but they surely did. It's not just like playing BGIII, but living it, as so great is the immersion and game reaction to your choices/play style.

    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.
