    What is mostly a really great RPG is brought down slightly by some eye rolling messaging in game and a lack of random encounters or enemies to fight outside of scripted one of events.

    A true master piece, well performed audio dialogs from every character in the world leads to the game being immersive.

    Act 1 95 One of the Best CRPG
    Act 2 93 Still good
    Act 3 84 Partially messed like old Obsidian games. e.g. KotOR2, NWN2

    Is BG3 worthy of getting good score above 95?
    Think about a little calculation.

    (My personal score is 91, but I'll give this game 7 score for opinion balance.)

    A crooked camera that spoils the feel of the battles
    Imaginary variability that gives a minimum of influence on the world

    In the game is actually fully completed only the First Act, which was a few years in early access
    The game isn't expensive, and even the first act pays for it right away, but why the hell is a game that is 1/3 complete suddenly the game of the year!
    I went through Cyberpunk in release with bugs and 20 fps, I cried over the ending, but the game was so hated it almost ruined CDPR.
    And this unfinished rubbish is being praised like it's 98 and Fallout 2 just came out.

    At this point, such inadequate reviews and adoration make Baldur Gate 3 look like a cheating manual for developers: Make the first part of the game in 20+ hours, polish it to a shine, collect a lot of money and adoration, and when people pass by the polished part, sit on a diamond throne at the foot of your personal monument and laugh out loud.    … Expand

    Another great game from Larian, it has an amazing turn based combat and a complex yet awesome world, the gameplay, romance and its incredible arsenal of choices to do and make in both character creation and the story make it a truly awesome game, goty in my opinion

Les graphismes sont à couper le souffle, avec des détails minutieux dans chaque recoin du monde du jeu, que ce soit les paysages majestueux ou les créatures fantastiques.

    L'une des caractéristiques les plus impressionnantes de Baldur's Gate 3 est la profondeur de son système de jeu. Les mécanismes de combat sont stratégiques et stimulants, demandant aux joueurs de prendre en compte chaque action et chaque décision. Les classes, les compétences et les sorts sont variés et bien équilibrés, offrant une multitude d'options pour personnaliser l'approche de jeu.

    L'histoire du jeu est captivante et riche en rebondissements. Les quêtes sont bien conçues, avec des personnages auxquels on s'attache rapidement et des choix moraux difficiles qui influencent l'histoire de manière significative. L'écriture est brillante, mêlant habilement l'humour, le drame et l'épique pour créer une aventure inoubliable.

    Un autre aspect remarquable est l'attention portée aux détails et à l'interactivité. Chaque objet, chaque dialogue et chaque interaction contribuent à l'immersion du joueur dans le monde du jeu. Les choix du joueur ont de véritables conséquences, ce qui donne l'impression que le monde réagit réellement à ses actions.

    En outre, le jeu bénéficie d'une excellente prise en charge des mises à jour et de l'ajout de contenu, montrant l'engagement continu des développeurs à améliorer et à enrichir l'expérience de jeu.

    Baldur's Gate 3 réussit à équilibrer habilement les éléments classiques des RPG avec des améliorations modernes, offrant ainsi une expérience qui ravira tant les fans de longue date que les nouveaux venus dans le monde de Donjons et Dragons. En somme, c'est un titre qui brille par sa qualité exceptionnelle et qui mérite amplement les éloges pour sa contribution au monde du jeu de rôle."    … Expand

    This is a masterpiece of the Classic RPGs. A well deserved secuel for the Baldur's Gate saga. Larian Studios has perfected the formula they were improving during the Divinity Orginal Sin saga.

    The D&D franchise is safe with Larian Studios. Enjoy this game, you will not regret buying this game at full price.

    The game is buggy just like Cyberpunk 2077. There is no customization of the appearance of the character, but there are settings for the genitals, why is this?

    Absolutely overwhelmed all my expectations.
    Imagine a game that makes you think constantly about replaying it more than once while you're still messing around in your current game.
    I can divide the quality of BG3 into 3 parts. Act 1: Fantastic 10/10. An immersive and overwhelming immersive experience. Massive, Exploration, Emotion. Act 2: Amazing 9.5/10. Darkness... and emotions. You    Absolutely overwhelmed all my expectations.

    Act 1: Fantastic 10/10. An immersive and overwhelming immersive experience. Massive, Exploration, Emotion.
    Act 2: Amazing 9.5/10. Darkness... and emotions. You will have a mixed experience with a bit of Drama and Horror here. Exploration is great but you will feel it to lower back a bit.
    Act 3: Excited -> Overwhelmed -> Curious and lively. Those are the first things that come to you when you step into Act 3 10/10... Then an exciting urban adventure. But the small quest lines started to shorten, it made me a little disappointed. I can say that it is an incomplete delicious taste. you will see what you build from Act 1-2 starting to wobble a bit. 9/10... to the end, it can be said that the part that made me feel a bit disappointed the first time I played. Because bugs start to appear more dense films in the late game. The storylines also begin to end (There's a sketchy feel to the atmosphere). But anyway, the epic and the convergence point at the ending will make your mind excited and satisfied. 7.5-8/10

    But I know that Larian Studios will address these in their big patches quickly. Future expansion, DLC, and mod content for BG3 can be said to be extremely promising.    … Expand

    Not a turn based RPG fan but this game is the new standard for gaming in general. I enjoyed early access, and the full game is better than I expected.

    Un videojuego que ha logrado atraer a nuevos jugadores a un género que se considera de culto, tiene un gran merito. Pero esto va de la mano con una historia llena de varios caminos, una exploración muy satisfactoria, y un sistema de juego en el que prácticamente puedes hacer todo lo que se te ocurra.

    If the cut content form act 3 wasn't so noticeable, I would have gave this game a 10. But the End and some of act 3 feels unfinished or the cut contend / Quests are very noticeable, so its a 9. But even with those cons, its a masterpiece.

    I'm halfway in the Act II and can say that this game is great so far in all the aspects. Didn't enjoyed any game like this since Elden Ring. Bless you, Larian.

    While I don't agree with a lot of the negative reviews as they just seem unfounded, I also don't agree that BG3 is advancing gaming to the degree that the masses claim. Personally, I see the game as 'good'.

    Pros

    - Graphics are great. I think anyone who argues otherwise is not being honest.

    - The combat and animations are fine.

    - The story is interesting.

    - You have a wide range of role playing options, you can do more than you can in other games.

    - It really showed us which Developers would rather bicker about a good game rather than create one themselves.

    - No microtransactions is only a good thing.

    - No fps or crash issues.

    Cons

    - Some of the characters' dialogue comes across as more fan fiction than realistic.

    - Larian Studios copy pasted Divinity Original Sin 2 far too much, from the ruins, to the interactions, to the loot, to the text.

    - Like Divinity, the loot doesn't feel rewarding. A rare glove that provides 0 armour and an effect that I may use 10% of the time is not something I look forward to receiving. The basic gear even has fixed stats so every piece of gear I pick up has the exact same stats.

    - I feel like the difficulty options are cosmetic when quicksave / load exist as it removes any challenge.

    - There is no customising of the eye shape, height, weight, nose, lips, ears or body tattoos, removing armour makes neck tattoos look unpolished with seeming.

    - Bugged a few times. Sometimes my character, or characters I need to interact with, will not be interactable. Oftentimes just needs to be reloaded but this lowers immersion.

    - While you'd expect the climax of the game to be the best, I feel like Act III is the most disappointing and it seems clear that the team put the most effort into Act I and it slowly begins to show.

    - As much as I like role-reversal, the lack of strength orientated men as followers or even NPC's is quite disappointing. It's true we have Halsin, but he feels too kind hearted to be a ruffian strongman follower.    … Expand

    As a player, I rarely watch streamers or others on BG3 because I don't want to be subject to any choice, I never reload my games (except to open a chest), it's the dice and the fruit of chance that guides my adventure, yes my adventure with a capital A.

    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.
