Baldur's Gate III

A technical stable game that is far beyond a videogame. Literally everything is pure art. The story is not one story instead the player has hundreds of different outcomes. Aside that, the storyline itself and dialogues are worth multiple oscars. Same goes for the voice acting, music graphics, physics, love to details and choreography, which no game ever had before at this quality level.

On average you can expect 80-120 hours of gameplay, where an incredibly bounding to your teammates happens.

In over 30 years of playing games, I never had sich an immersive experience like in this masterpiece.

For me i wasn't even hyped for this game, i knew it was in early access for years but i wasn't a fan of d&d or crpg's in general so it didn't grab my attention up until they showed the bear scene lol and i saw how cinematic the game looks it reminded me a lot of bioware and dragon age origins which i adore then i remembered that game was the spiritual successor to baldur's gate so i was like what the hell let's see if it's as good, fast-forward to today and my god this game is incredible, it has consumed my life for 55 hours (character creator itself took me 3h) and i've only scratched the surface, it's baby numbers because the game is huge and very detailed, npc's are so well written with each having their own personality and thoughts, a lot of decisions that can have so much impact without you even realizing and on top of all your companions, some of the most layered and interesting that i've seen (a crime that you can only choose 3 out of camp) that makes the game such an immersive and addicting experience that somehow became my game for the year and i didn't think anything could top RE4R and TOTK for me but this game and larian studios deserve all the praise that they can get.

10/10 masterful, enchanting and peak rpg experience.

BG1 and BG2 are some of my favourite games. I wasn't entirely sure if BG3 would live up to the series but having just finished the game I can say that the game definitely delivered. The bar has definitely been raised and people will compare future RPG games (and games in general) to BG3 for years to come.

The game has plenty of content and it will take an average player hundreds of hours to comb through all of the content. Player choice is robust and seem to have meaningful impact to the overall storyline. Combat is robust, dialogue options are fleshed out and the overall world-building was faithful enough to the source material.

I've completed the game going the heroic route. Did every side quest. I adore this game. Honestly, my favorite game of all time, not lying. Negative reviews on here are by trolls that's have low attention spans. If you want fantastic writing, characters arcs performed by amazing voice talent, and enjoy turned based strategy and role playing you will love this game. It's essentially just Dungeons and Dragons. Same rules. However, imagine playing D&D with the best dungeon master ever and beautiful computer graphics illustrating your story. It's also not afraid to get totally absurd, goofy, or just plain freaky deeky if that's your style. It's up to you. You can have sex with a bear. It's pretty rad. Lol. Honestly though, it will probably hit you on an emotional level the more seriously you take it. Finishing the game for me was an extremely emotional experience for me after 250 hours. The denouement was fantastic. I really needed that, and it was great that they put it in there. It's really sad to end the game because you really become friends in a way with your companions. You actually really care about them. Such great writing. Minor bugs are forgivable on the technical side, after all it is a video game. It's also an extremely complex game with so many variables. This is a game for grown ups, not inpatient button smashers. If you're mature and love D&D, it doesn't get any better than this.

I can't get enough. I'm playing on PC, an old Haswell i7, but plenty of ram and a 1080ti GPU, so far running very well. No crashes, no major glitches (an odd one with speech options just giving me "continue" which then result as if something significant was said but that's only happened twice so I'm unsure what's what there).

The characters are well written, the plot is gripping and the world is interesting to explore. I have always been a huge BioWare fangirl, but honestly, Larian have completely blown away my previous faves; they really are the studio for epic CRPGs now. The voice acting is also 10/10.

It's a very well crafted game all around and knowing how Larian were with DOS:II it'll hopefully receive ongoing support and tweaks to make things better.
