The more annoying aspects of modern gaming are completely absent in Baldur’s Gate 3.

      Yeah I didn’t even play the first two, too technical for me at the time, grabbed this one on hype alone and loving it!

      I don’t exactly love these kinds of top down, turn based, save scum games, but the D&D 5e mechanics pulled me in. I will say the game is quite fun even as someone who gets burned out quickly on this style. I’ve played about 20 hours so far and there have been plenty of bugs and crashes, but I can definitely say I’m enjoying it

      Yeah it’s great. I encounter bugs here and there but non are game breaking. Worth the buy, if your unsure pirate it first. By far the best DND game I’ve tried.

      Haven’t finished Tears of the Kingdom and moving into a new house so I will get it during a sale.

      If you’re into RPGs, or DnD, or general fantasy stuff, I would highly recommend it. I haven’t finished it yet, but the first 20 or so hours have been incredibly fun. It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a game this much, the reviews aren’t wrong with this one.

        I’m not into DnD nor fantasy generally, but I am absolutely loving it. 40 hours in so far and I can’t get enough. I have the itch where I’m just thinking about spells all day when I’m not playing

          If you feel this way, you should definitely look in to getting into D&D. This game is the closest you’re going to get to playing a D&D campaign in a video game as far as translation to the medium goes.

          If you like this game, you will absolutely love D&D.

            I will say it definitely has brought up my interest again. My ex used to play and I’ve watched some people play before, but I just feel like I’d have a hard time. I think it’s just my insecurity of needing to be good at things and I feel like I’d be bad at playing. Feels like the pressure would get to me to think of good ideas and such.

      If you want a good single player RPG with bullshit, collectables, or microtransactions that you can play offline if you want, it’s great. If you want a modern game with all that stuff, it would suck. I don’t know why you’d want that stuff, but some business people think we do.
