    So much heart & soul present in this masterpiece. Absolutely miles ahead from current developers like ea, activision & bethesda.

    Well done Larian! Gunning for goty.

    Waay overrated, gameplay is bored as hell.
    I know this is my opinion
    But i thought after all the positivity ill give it a try, but why.. why praise the game when its not even special? Heck even dark alliance is better

    I've never played a hundred plus hour game and then wanted to play it all over again right away. BG3 is an amazing experience and one of the best games I have ever played. GOTY for sure.

    Too easy on Tactician mode. I’m not well-versed in BG3’s mechanics or how Larian Studios (LS) has done things with their past games regarding combat; yet, I’m destroying it on Tactician mode. Create Water + Lightning Bolt, much? Hundreds of scrolls and potions in my inventory, much? I can’t imagine how mind-numbingly dull the lower difficulties are.

    The User Interface (UI) is clunky,    Too easy on Tactician mode.

Create Water + Lightning Bolt, much? Hundreds of scrolls and potions in my inventory, much? I can’t imagine how mind-numbingly dull the lower difficulties are.

    The User Interface (UI) is clunky, sometimes unresponsive, and glitchy. You get scrolls and potions up the *ss, but there’s no autostack feature? Are you kidding? I need to take a 10-minute coffee break to sort through all the crap in my inventory. I’ll select a party member’s portrait, hear a click, but it doesn’t switch over. I'll have a character selected in the merchant menu, highlight a weapon from the merchant, and then the weapon will be compared to a weapon from a different party member. Then I’ll re-highlight the same weapon and it'll compare it to my selected party member's weapon. Are you using dice rolls for the UI?

    According to Morte from Planescape: Torment (PT), tieflings are oftentimes addled or have a mean streak through them because they're a mix between a human and a fiend. Fiends are evil creatures from the Lower Planes. All of this was reflected in PT’s world. In BG3, they're just furries. And that goes for the rest of the non-human NPCs except for creatures like goblins and ogres. Different species with different alignments and behaviors is a big deal in the Forgotten Realms, and some of these species don’t like each other. How did you mess that up? You never watched Lord of The Rings? You don’t remember how dwarves and elves didn’t like each other? Tolkien’s work and the Forgotten Realms are two different things, but I’ve made my point.

    Sexually degenerate content. In BG2 and PT there's sexual/romance content, but it was done tastefully. These games relied more on innuendo and colorful language as opposed to hitting the player over the head with, "Hey, wanna go to a secluded area and f***?", after knowing them for only a day. Also, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but most of your customers are straight men. We don’t want h*mosexual NPCs badgering us for sex. It’s weird. The people who post on your forum about romancing Astarion are in the minority, just like they’re a minority in the general population. If you want more money, then you shouldn’t alienate the majority of your customers to chase the fringe.

    Too many female fighters/barbarians and too many females in leadership positions without good reason. Human women in the Forgotten Realms are no different from women in the real world, which means they’re much smaller and weaker than men. Therefore, a regiment of female soldiers in heavy armor wielding great swords looks stupid. It looks as stupid as if there were an all-children regiment of soldiers wearing heavy armor and wielding great swords. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be any because there are always exceptions; however, when I see a group of Flaming Fists it shouldn’t be 50% male and 50% female or 25%/75%, favoring females. Under normal circumstances, no sane civilization would create a 50% male and 50% female military because there’s this thing called chivalry and another thing called biology. Men by nature want to protect women, and women by nature want to be protected by men. That’s chivalry. One woman can have around 15 children in a lifetime by one or many men; the number of children a civilization can produce will only go up if the number of females goes up. That’s biology. Consequently, it makes absolutely no sense for a civilization to send women to the battlefield. Doing so weakens the military and the future of the civilization. As for leadership, in the real world most leaders are men because men have more testosterone. Testosterone makes you bigger, stronger, and more confident, which inspires others to follow. Do you think Ketheric Thule would be as cool as he is if he were a 5’2’’ female with a high-pitched voice? When I see a 5’2’’ female NPC barking out orders to 6’2’’ chads in a voice that she’s obviously trying to deepen through inflection, because she’s aware of her physical inadequacy, I cringe. Only people who have grown up sitting in front of Netflix can take this kind of thing seriously. Stop letting your Human Resource department control your artistic vision.

    Why do many of the dwarves, gnomes, and elves have the facial features of races found in human beings? They're an entirely different species. This feature makes as much sense as having a cat with an African native’s facial features or a human that looks like a duergar. This only makes sense with half-elves, tieflings, and half-orcs because they're mixed with humans who may have looked African, Asian, etc. Elves, dwarves, and gnomes aren’t humans.    … Expand

    Highly recommended. Everything I could hope for from an RPG and as someone who grew up playing the BG and BG2 this game despite being different does them justice. It the best translation of modern DnD to a game by far as far as I know. Great presentation as well, acting, visuals, music, all top tier.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good and can be even better with a few patches. it is clear many reviewers did not make it until the end or they would have noticed performance problems and a lot of bugs in the last chapter. It took me around 90 hours to complete the game and I loved the voice acting, music and branching paths and stories.

    Unfortunately the last hours left a sour taste in my mouth. The run up to the boss while being bombarded by enemy artillery made me scream "Who the hell came up with this **** and a boss that has to be taken down with a timer running in the background was not fun at all. The ending cutscene took around 5 minutes leaving many questions unanswered. In Larian tradition this will be patched and an enhanced edition released. This is not okay though, if we invest almost a hundred hours into a game we deserve closure.

    I still had a good time with it but am tired of buying products that will get patched throughout the year to deliver a finished game. It is what it is though and I suggest opening the upper city for exploration and splitting the third act into two. The last act was too cramped and the city should be bigger. It is clear the upper city was cut out of the game but planned initially.    … Expand

And pen and papers are usually most fun when the players get really creative or go completely of the rails or both. Seeing how that is the most fun aspect to me I greatly enjoyed the freedom the game granted the player. On my first playthrough I played as a bard who was somewhat mischievous but ultimately good for the most part. I was surprised when I found out that I could finish some bosses of by simply doing what bards do best. Talk **** and trick people into doing your bidding. I was stunned. I finished the game and was really happy with it for the most part. Then I started a second playthrough with a mate of mine. We played as people who usually did what was best for them but who ultimately weren't evil and I was stunned how different not only the story but the world itself were. So obviously we had to also play an evil campaign. (Most fun one in my humble opinion^^).

    I like just how much freedom I had in the way I approached pretty much anything. And it didn't feel like the devs just hadn't thought of what I did but rather that they were prepared for pretty much anything.
    I don't feel like I caught the game of guard once.

    I gotta admit that even though the first and second act were phenomenal I experienced some bugs in the third act. The story also felt like it lost some steam.

    But ultimately when I ask myself what I would want from a DnD videogame, this is exactly what I would want.
    Add to that that there are no micro-transactions, no season pass and no other bull**** like that and I can confidently recommend this game to any DnD and rpg fans.
    This game is for sure game of the year if not game of the decade contender.

    tl;dr

It is an enormous RPG that is far too big, with at least half the quests and places of interest being average to below average. The game would have been far better if they trimmed 30% of the weakest quests and tightened the game significantly. There is a huge amount of filler in the form of books, quests, NPC's and unnecessary dialogue. For example, you walk into a pub and there are 15 NPC's standing or walking about. You have to talk to every single one because one or two of them will either give you a quest or will be required for a quest, but at least half the time the game will not indicate if an NPC is important or not. So you talk to each NPC in turn and 90% of them have absolutely nothing interesting, important or useful to say. But each one forces you into a cutscene-esque dialogue which wastes loads of time and completely takes you out of your immersion. Also the combat, while decent, takes absolutely forever with 50 monsters each taking 20 seconds per individual turn, making you watch monsters glitch about for at least 5 hours per turn before you get to move.

    The game has countless problems like this and they only serve to waste your time. Wait at least 2 years until mods and updates have fixed all the issues, then play this game, for a much better experience. However, understand that even with all the problems fixed it will only be an 8 at best because of all the filler and average/weak quests.    … Expand

Anyway, if You missing a feel when playing RPG with good story, great quests, interesting world, amazing characters, then this is a "must have" game for You.

It’s not garbage. It’s a pretty good adaptation of DnD with the strong limitations of being a Videogame. Just play DnD you’ll have a better experience and you’ll bond with your friends doing it.

    There is no base building, 0/10.

    Unfortunately, I've seen comments in a similar fashion. Unlike some people, I enjoyed the level cap in a CRPG. In the DoS series, I enjoy min/maxing. Since the maximum level is uncapped, I felt pressured to kill some characters that I wouldn't otherwise. Here, I felt more freedom.

    Compared to the DoS series, the combat feels less bombastic; however, it's not necessarily a bad thing. There's much less crowd control, which means fights resemble actual battles rather than one party stun-locking the other throughout the entire fight.

    The story is marvelous in my opinion. I don't like games where my character wakes up one morning, and for an hour, the game tries to tell the backstory. The game starts with action and ends with action.

    One issue is that, until Act 3, the story flows intensely along a narrower path. In Act 3, the game takes you to a very large city where you need to slow down and adapt to new stories, unless you want to skip all the content and rush through the main story. I felt a bit conflicted about it because I didn't want to miss out on side content, but I really wanted to follow the main story. However, I can't give it a low score because there's so much content in the game, lol.

    Also, I must mention that the romance aspect is terrible. I completely ignored it throughout the whole game because the dialogues are too amateurish. I wish they hadn't included it at all if they didn't have the time to align it with the overall quality.    … Expand

    I absolutely love DOS2 but BG3 managed to improve on many aspects. I'll be playing this game for hundreds of hours.

    Probably the biggest achievement is that they managed to make a CRPG quite approachable for people who never touched the genre. As a result, more people will be looking into other CRPGs, which is a win for this relatively niche genre.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is pretty close to an authentic table-top role-playing game.
    You are basically free to do whatever you want. It's both frightening and refreshing.
    It's beautiful and the musics are very nice.

    I'll try to describe how I've lived the game. I've spent 110 hours to finish the game the first time.
    The story was epic. I've experienced a love story with a woman companion that I thought was interesting. I was pretty satisfied with the conclusion.
    Immediately after I've started another game with a completely different character and romanced another woman. The romance story unraveled very differently so it was new again. The story was still epic even if I approached the various events differently (and it worked).

    By far the best game I have played in the past 10 years. It gives me great hope for the future as I had much given up on the game industry with all of it's micro-transactions and unplayable games on release. Instead Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete game with HUNDREDS of hours of content.

It gives me great hope for the future as I had much given up on the game industry with all of it's micro-transactions and unplayable games on release. Instead Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete game with HUNDREDS of hours of content.

    Your choices matter. Sure there are some required interactions to still tell the intended story, but this does not mean the interactions don't play out vastly differently. Failure does not mean you miss out on content and instead can give you an entirely different set of content. It is the same for only succeeding. Among your choices is your character creation. I chose a Drow and I never expected so many interactions changing because of this. There is a Goblin camp you go through in act 1 and my experience there was widely different purely because of my race. I was immediately treated with respect and authority without having to do anything where as my friends playing other races had to prove themselves. The game really takes into account the world as a whole that they made the game live inside. All of this breeds so much opportunity for multiple playthroughs.

    I've played through the game solo and with a friend and each time we were both learning new things, interactions, and getting new dialogue. It often felt like I was playing a whole new story, though of course with the same larger story beats. It was very refreshing.

    At this point I have played over 80 hours of the game and I look forward to putting even more into it. Larion studios is actively making updates and adding new cut-scenes and interactions. I can only imagine how the game will have only further improved and evolved in a years time. All that to say even now if Larion did not do any other updates or fixes, it is already a masterpiece. It doesn't NEED any fixes or additional content, but all the updates and added content is most welcome. It feels like it needs to be mentioned that this new content is all free. This is not DLC content. There are no micro-transactions.

    I've never been a fan of turn based games, but that did not stop me from enjoying the game one bit. The story was so gripping I often found myself reading the books to get a better and looking up wiki articles to understand who these mysterious factions were. The world feels alive and I want to know more about it. This all coming from a person who played FF14, which most of my friends rave about the story being the selling point, I instead skipped all cut scenes because I couldn't immerse myself.

    Baldur's Gate 3 has had a huge impact on my ability to sit down and just learn about the world. I tend to prefer 'high octane' gameplay. Fast paced and no time for my brain to feel idle. I had no troubles slowing down and just exploring. I found myself instead wanting to really savor all the interactions. See what all my choices would do. Reloading just for the extra little bit of knowledge dialogue. I felt upset failing history rolls because the little tid-bits of knowledge was truly interesting.

    I am now hooked on the universe and will definitely be looking into The Forgotten Realms horde of novels. Baldur's Gate 3 really knocked this one out of the park. The gameplay is fantastic. The world is so well built. The characters feel alive.

    The main critique I could give about the romance options/origin characters is that they all have some huge insane backstory that makes them all 'interesting' and 'mysterious.' It can feel a bit over the top, but when I think about DnD they all perfectly recreate what a DnD character background would be. Each player would want their character to have an interesting back story and some motivation in the world. They're not all just there to accomplish what the story wants/needs and has their own interests outside of the main story quest.

    Obviously I love this game. It has brought back a feeling from gaming that I thought was long dead. I can only hope Larion Studios continues game development. I will definitely be playing Divinity Original Sin 1/2 after I finish my adventure through Baldur's Gate 3.

    I cannot recommend this game more. I believe it has something for everyone. It is truly a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Pretty much everything Baldur's Gate and Dungeons fans Dragons fans have been hoping for years. Maybe a little heavy on the romance, buy you can always toggle off what you don't want. Looking forward to a DLC or whatever Larian has in store next.

Companions are perfectly characterized with a background, feelings, reactions to you and react to how you treat them (in one run shadowheart came to my camp to kill me!!!) simply wonderful. Very nice graphics and animations the close-ups in the face in your companions really convey the feelings they have NEVER seen anything better in a video game. Flaws: I hate the inventory menu and find its options a bit cumbersome but nothing that bad. SOUND: The music is perfect in all situations. Ladies and gentlemen this is not the game of the year but the GAME OF THE DECADE!!! Immense, deep, strategic a game where FINALLY you don't have to hit random keys but reason about the dialogues, in the fights and a boundless lore it feels like you are really in the forgotten realms. THANK YOU LARIAN STUDIOS FOR THIS WONDERFUL GAME and I hope and pray that all software houses learn from the best!… Expand

    This game is unreal. I didn’t know if it would be my cup of tea but my god it’s just mind blowing how engrossing it is. The amount of options available to you is amazing. Think you could play through it 10 times and not find everything. Time just melts away when you are playing it.

Think you could play through it 10 times and not find everything. Time just melts away when you are playing it. The writing and voice acting is perfect I don’t think I’ve recognised a single voice twice. You will be disgusting, angry, elated, cray with laughter, vomit. Everything!

    The game so far has run with no issues except one bit of screen tear when we literally caused the biggest explosion ever. The combat is challenging and one missed place person or rubbish decision can literally lose you a battle. The world is beautifully crafted with so many things you can easily miss or will need a different class to access. It’s mind blowing. For me the best feature is the online co-op, I love playing through a narrative with my mates. They laughs and arguments are unbelievable. It causes conversations you thought you’d never have and find out personality traits you never knew you mates have. It is absolute gaming perfection. I am in no way and rpg fan. I love racing, football, platforming kind of guy but this has changed my look on rpgs. The fact I get to enjoy it with mates just secures it as the best game I have ever played in my life. Keep up the good work Larian. Fantastic    … 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.
