    Awesome game and I love how much freedom we, as players, get.
    8/10
    Minus 2 points because: - Quite a few bugs - Sleeping with a character will trigger a romance story, if you don't sleep with that character, you won't get the option. Considering that this has to happen in act 1, where the characters barely know eachother... feels really weird and I wish it wouldn't be required for a    Awesome game and I love how much freedom we, as players, get.

    - combat can be really, really slow sometimes
    - unfinished stories in act 3. The final act feels rather rushed, to be honest.    … Expand

    If you liked DoS2 and AD&D rules, you can only like this BG3. Larian goes so far in terms of RPG mecanics, stories, progression system and multiple choices.
    Everything will have an impact, meaning you can spend 250 hours playing as a "good", finish it and replay another class, doing another choices as a "bad" and you will have a totally new experience.

    As much as I enjoy Pathfinder and similar games, Baldur's Gate 3 is absolutely the best introductory experience to DND concepts. The game really shines in cinematics, character customization, spell variety, and the seemingly endless amount of choices the player can make. I've put over 200 hours into the game and there are still whole zones, major characters, etc. that I haven't seen yet.As much as I enjoy Pathfinder and similar games, Baldur's Gate 3 is absolutely the best introductory experience to DND concepts. The game really shines in cinematics, character customization, spell variety, and the seemingly endless amount of choices the player can make. I've put over 200 hours into the game and there are still whole zones, major characters, etc. that I haven't seen yet. Your character's race, religion (if applicable), and behaviors all affect the way that the world responds to you. The soundtrack is beautiful and the characters and world design are both fantastic. If you enjoy the sometimes bizarre and unexpected moments in games from developers like MachineGames, you'll find similar moments in Baldur's Gate 3. The companions are all well-developed and a fandom has developed around each of them.

    My main criticisms of the game are minimal. The player's face animations during dialogue are truly bizarre, it became a meme pretty quickly but it really is distracting at times. These moments are incredibly rare, but there are moments where certain parts of the game break. For instance, there's a part of the game where a character wants to raid a village and tells you to meet them there. If you already killed everyone at the village though, that character never shows up and disappears for good, meaning that you lose out on a potential companion. Not game-breaking, but still annoying. Also, with one of the characters, I was right at the start of the romantic route with them and they said they are strictly non-monogamous, which isn't for me personally. So I backed out and said we should be friends. The next day, this character was calling me "lover." I also find sorting items in the bag to become overwhelming late game. But truly, considering how massive the game is, there are few issues.

    Ultimately I think BG3 definitely deserves GOTY and may be the best game of the decade. I enjoy seeing people experience DND mechanics for the first time and finding out that they're much better at it than they thought they would be. BG3 opens up the world of TTRPGs to new people and gives them lasting memories. With Dark Urge, three difficulties, and a variety of mutually exclusive paths in game, there's also high replay value. I eagerly await to see what Larian does next.    … Expand

    I was waiting years for this game, and most of it was truly amazing, but act 3 as a whole is in a bad state, and the ending is very lackluster.

    Edit: Larian deserves a 10 for the speed with they are patching the game and adding things that the players are asking for.

    "Generation's Game" was my gateway into the Baldur's saga, and what an entrance it was. The depth it adds and the experience it brings to the D&D tabletop is spectacular. It's a shame about the level 12 cap and perhaps some lack of optimization in ACT3, but that would be nitpicking at this point.

    I can't give this game a 10 because of some basic oversights by Larian. e.g. no "gruff voice" option in character creation spoiling the roleplaying of any dwarf or half-orc for me. Would be a good DLC to add.

    A new age of CRPG starts with one that stands above all its predecessors in terms of overall quality. While some might argue that Planescape keeps the crown for plot, there are few games, or media projects in general, that can meet the heights of cinematic immersion, character development and accessible yet enjoyable gameplay which are demonstrated by BG3.

    - Temps de chargement EXTREMEMENT long même avec un bon PC.
    - Un tutoriel très mal foutu, quasi absent, j'ai appris l'usage de la touche "Alt" uniquement grâce à des vidéos après 50h de jeu, par exemple !
    - Les romances claquées au sol, on peut passer tout notre temps avec tel ou tel compagnon, avec une affinité excellente mais il ne se passera rien avec, et pourtant des personnages avec qui on aura quasiment eu aucune interaction vont nous forcer à coucher avec... car oui, soit on a une proposition pour les recaler très violemment, soit toutes les autres seraient même lorsque cela n'est pas dit explicitement des invitations à baiser.
    - On remarque que le second degré et l'ironie est totalement absent du jeu, càd qu'il faut prendre au pied et à la lettre tout ce qui est dit, ça tue l'immersion dans un RPG !
    - La gestion des items est catastrophique, les items mettent parfois du temps à apparaître, le tri automatique est malfoutu, et on ne comprend pas pourquoi ils ne sont pas automatiquement rangés dans les sacs de notre inventaire, on ne sait pas quels items ont de l'importance ou s'ils servent juste à la revente.
    - La gestion de la caméra est au moins aussi catastrophique, notamment lorsque les combats se font sur plusieurs étages...
    - Quant au scénario et lore, il est bon et organique, mais loin d'être extraordinaire pour ne pas dire convenu. En fait c'est du niveau d'une prod netflix, ça se suit.
    - Pas de VF, Zelda TOTK et Starfield en ont, qualité qu'avait un jeu tel que TW3 aussi...
    - C'est un reskin de DOS2 avec un gameplay simplifié + jet de dé (qui selon moi n'est pas toujours pertinent).
    - Ll'exploration est très mal récompensée, surtout quand il s'agit de looter 150 pièces d'or et un vieux parchemin... une manière artificielle d'allonger la durée de vie du jeu en mettant plein de vases/caisses que l'on va vérifier dans l'espoir de trouver un objet un minimum précieux.    … Expand

    Very few other games have somehow simulated a table top gaming experience quite like Baldur's Gate 3 has. The attention to detail is so overwhelming that a player can spend almost a hundred hours just in the first act reading, inspecting, talking to animals, and hordes of other content hidden just behind the mind's eye. In most games, this element of detail is completely lost especially in recent times. This game recaptures the magic of some of the oldest games I've played that were far ahead of their time.

    There is so much customization, story pathing, and more that I could see a player being overwhelmed after being trained on recent games regurgitated by scam artists pretending to be developers. This game has no DLC, no microtransactions, no in game store, and was made by a team that actually cared about their game enough that it reminds me of old Blizzard; It reminds me of a time when Blizzard were still just lovable gamers making a great game.

    There are some minor bugs, and flaws, but every great game has those and they are minimal enough that they do not hinder gameplay at all. Most bugs are solved by a simple reloading of a save, a UI trick to reset the moment, or any number of simple solutions.

    I haven't even finished this game yet, and it's already in my top five games played of all time.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is definitely an achievement for Larian that will likely catapult them to new heights, but for as much as the game tries to tie itself to the legacy of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II, it doesn't have the spirit of those games.

It's its own thing, closer, by all accounts, to Larian's well-regarded Divinity series than to the titans that have spawned numerous spiritual successors over the last 10 years or so in particular

    In another world, where those two games weren't foundational to the gamer I am today, I might be able to look at this game with the fresh eyes I know so many others are seeing it with, but that's not the world I'm in. If you're looking specifically for a Baldur's Gate 3 because you loved the tone, writing, and gameplay of the originals, you probably won't find any of those here

    If Larian truly meant to make a worthy successor to Baldur's Gate I and II, they would have done well to properly study what made those games, as well as their many spiritual successors, so great—instead, we have a game that has the surface trappings of Baldur's Gate, but none of its soul

    If you don't have the history that I do with the original games, or you're a fan of Larian's other isometric offerings, you might find plenty to love here, and if so, I'd recommend checking out the many other positive reviews, because I do think there's a lot to celebrate here.

    É o melhor RPG de turno que já joguei.

    Zerei pela primeira vez jogando sem assistir nenhum vídeo tutorial, sem entender bulhufas de D&D (joguei apenas Vampiro a máscara de RPG de mesa) e tentei fazer tudo o que podia. Foi uma experiência muito boa.

    Agora estou nível 9 na segunda campanha e a experiência está ainda melhor.

    Teve game over em razão de contar vantagem com a rainha githyanki. Descobri um monte de locais secretos, usei companions diferentes.

    Resumindo estou gostando mais da segunda campanha.

    Em termos de liberdade de escolha nunca joguei nada parecido.

    The story is generally good and will guarantee many hundreds of hours of gameplay for some, as the world evolves with the player's decisions, offering a new experience with each playthrough.

    A major downside, however, is the apparent requirement to sleep with a character in the first act if you want to pursue a love story. It makes little sense to do something like this so early on when the characters barely know each other, and it's simply not nice to set such a thing as a prerequisite for love, at least in my opinion.

    The third act, on the other hand, feels somewhat unfinished and rushed and some quests seem to fizzle out into nothing, like with Karlach, who apparently doesn't have a single satisfying ending.

    Otherwise, a top game from which all other RPGs can learn a lot.    … Expand

Turn based games do not require high level attention as action based games, so you generally can enjoy these game for a much longer time.

    I think this is as close as you can get to playing a D&D game as a video game. The sense of freedom in your choices is, quite simply, unmatched. The game has plenty of problems due to the reliance on the D&D ruleset mind you. But I don't think it could be done any better than this. The problems aren't due to the implementation. It's due to the rules themselves often being very black andI think this is as close as you can get to playing a D&D game as a video game. The sense of freedom in your choices is, quite simply, unmatched. The game has plenty of problems due to the reliance on the D&D ruleset mind you. But I don't think it could be done any better than this. The problems aren't due to the implementation. It's due to the rules themselves often being very black and white. Either hit or miss the target. Even when it makes no sense to miss when looking at it visually.

    When you play a D&D game you have a human DM. That DM is interested in making a fun game for the participants. That also means sometimes bending the rules a bit. And Baldur's Gate 3 basically implements this by letting you quick-save and quick-load as much as you want. I'd go as far as calling this a necessity. You will run into some bad luck streaks. Be it in battles or with dialog choices. And quite frankly this can be extremely frustrating when it happens. Especially since much of the D&D rules are hidden behind the veil of stunning graphics and audio. Sometimes it feels like the game is deliberately taunting you.

    As much as I want to, I don't have the patience for a second play-through right away. So I want this play-through to count where it matters to me. And that means spamming that quick-load button to make sure I exhaust those dialog options and ultimately pick the one that suits me. You never know what awaits you at the other end of a dialog choice. Sometimes you thought a choice meant one thing, but then come to realize the tone was completely different to what you thought. It's text, it's not always obvious. And that can ruin some situations when the game tries to squeeze you back into the dialog tree wherever it fits. That sometimes requires a reload. The special class-related choices are also very hard to decipher. The base die throw required for each are not shown until you've chosen the option. That could use a redesign for better transparency (and to save us some quick-loads).

    With all of that said, the game is near perfect when it comes to the entire experience as a whole. There is SO MUCH to experience in this game it baffles me it is even possible. There are some weird bugs here and there. I can imagine that being inevitable as the game tries to deal with all of the outcomes of so insanly many interwoven quests and stories. It has to deal with all of it. And it succeeds in ways no other RPG game has done before it.

    Is it perfect? Of course not. But it is damn close.    … 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.
