    I never got into Divinity series due to the way the dialogue plays out.

    I got into this because it has those Mass Effect & Witcher 3 conversation cutscenes.

    I never like the gameplay in Divinity but after playing BG3 for a day and I'm now playing it everyday. Still in ACT 1, clocking in about 40 hours now.

    GOTY 2023 calling it now.

    Can't possibly recommend this game enough. I'm about 120 hours in to the full game, finished my first playthrough with about 110 hours. No, act 3 is not perfect, but the game overall is by far the best bang for your buck you could ask for in gaming. The funny part is, this game is so damn good I wish I could give Larian more money. Just a masterpiece.

    The love, passion and effort Larian put into this game is amazing. This should be the new standard to aim for with game titles, and not the micro transaction riddled battlepass-fest live-service games no one wants.

    This is one of the most incredible games in the last 10 years. Single player. Multiplayer. No micro transactions. Beautiful voice acting, rich story, meaningful decisions, I could continue to go on.

    In the mid-70s, I was a teenager, a friend introduced me to "Dungeons and Dragons". I joined the U.S. Navy when I was 18 (it was 1981) my friends and I played on the ship (while at sea) on the weekends and holidays for HOURS. Now, I'm 60, and THAT GAME is on my PC, just like I remember it. If you have ever played D@D, Get This Game.

    BG3 has been quite exceptional.

    There really isn't a complaint that I can give it. There are incredibly few bugs (freezing, CtDT) but that is likely a machine stability issue that is personal to myself rather than a genuine performance issue.

    This is a game. Love that your choices have (immediate) consequences. One time for example, I kicked a squirrel who bit my toe. Consequence: the squirrel went flying and exploded against a tree. Too much bugs and lag though.

    The graphics in Baldur's Gate stand out as one of the game's strongest features. Special mention goes to the Eldrich Blast animation – a visual treat so mesmerizing and detailed that you can spend hours watching it unleash its force upon foes. Lighting, shadows, and textures are all executed at the highest level, adding to the immersion in the game's world.

    Baldur's Gate offers something unique and daring in the gameplay arena. One example is the ability to gain a goddess's blessing through BDSM practice.

    Way better than the 2 original baldur's gate, and ANY OTHER RPG game, regarding its mechanics.
    Immersive, rewarding, with characters that make you care.
    It's like playing a DUNGEONS & DRAGONS alone, but you can play with 3 more friends too!

    Very well done game, total immersion, I'm loving the experience. The developer Larian Studios is totally committed to its games, always thinking about the final consumer, which is us, the players. Set an example for competing companies.

    For a person who has always wanted to play DND but couldn't because of various reasons, one being lack of partners to play with, it feels great to have a game that mixes a lot of the DND elements and sets it in such an immersive way.

    Compared to other cRPGs released these last few years, it does everything better.
    Good graphics, atmospheric music, a long storyline with plenty of plot twists, well-developed companions with quality voice acting(some you love, some you hate, some you love to hate haha), and a near faithful rendition of DnD 5e rules to a computer gaming environment. 10/10

    A true masterpiece, and the only real comparison is Divinity 2. The immersion, story, character building and freedom elements are slightly better than Div2, while the rest is about the same.

    Though it feels like I've waited a lifetime, it has only been 23 years. I've played Early Access for a couple of years now, and it is exactly what I wanted in a sequel to the Greatest RPG of All Time. I went Karlach first playthrough, and have not been disappointed in her dialogue options.

    Created an account just to give this game a rating. It's mind-boggling the amount of content, permutations, and attention to detail in this game. Been an RPG enjoyer all my life, from MUDs, to the original Baldur's Gate, to Diablo, to Dragonage, and the only RPG I think that comes close to the amount of content this game has is Witcher 3.

Between it's polish, graphics, character interactions, customization, turn-based battle system, writing, and sound design, everything about this game screams masterpiece. It's so refreshing seeing a game like this, full release, no mtx, no battlepass, single player (with option for co-op), doing so well in a world ran by soul sucking, micro-transaction laden corporate games. The concurrent player numbers on Steam (hitting the over 800k milestone the week of release) just goes to show that gamer's still love these experiences. So far, it is my GOTY. It offers everything I could have asked for and more. Huge thanks to Larian Studios for this amazing experience!… Expand

    I am glad I was right, and pre-ordered the collector edition. This game is phenomenal, it has a lot of more mechanics to learn compares to DOS2, but since the game is made by the same company, some design ideas are the same, so it's not hard to get started without any prior knowledge of D&D 5th edition.
    This is the game with many replayability, I would suggest anyone who want to try this game to slow down, and enjoy the world Larian created, appreciate the little details. I certainly do. I enjoy doing some silly things, and then giggle like an idiot in front of my computer.    … Expand

In last 50h of play I have encountered whole 2(!) bugs, nothing game-breaking. Larian studios have done an amazing job at interpreting the 5e system for cRpg setting. I fully recommend you try this brilliant game yourself.

    The game I have been waiting for since Dragon Age Origins and before that Neverwinter Nights 1 / 2 but on a even larger scale. This is a game you could spend thousands of hours on exploring and trying all the options / possibilities, every one one of them unique and interesting. There are no copy and paste gather quests here.

    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.
