    I would’ve loved to see an expansion or two for the game to tie up some storylines

      Didn’t they start working on one but cncelled because they were just not feeling it?

      I think the pacing is just off once you get close to the end.

      Once you get to Baldur’s Gate, the game is a slog. If I didn’t want to get the golden dice just so I could say that I got them, I probably wouldn’t’ve finished the game.

        100 hours is too much for a game. Let’s say I can play it 1-2 hours a day 5 days a week (I usually have stuff to do on the weekend), it’d take me over two months to finish it! There are other games I want to play!
        I did finish it, but only because I had to spend over a month at home using up PTO before leaving my previous job for my current one.

          Counterpoint: 100 hours is not too much, but it could be too much for you. That’s fine, it’s very obvious from the type of game it is that it’s probably going to be 50+ hours long, and if you’re not playing right at release, you can check Howlongtobeat. I don’t think playing a game for two months is a mark against it, as long as I like the game.

          Not every game needs to be a short experience you can complete with a couple hours or needs to be finished within a few days/weeks. If I finished BG3 within a few days I would have thought it was a waste of money.

          Me: looks nervously at Stardew Valley, multiple Monster Hunter games, Anno 1800, Dark Souls, Elden Ring all with 100+ hours
