Baldur's Gate 3 Review | MMORPG.com
Baldur's Gate 3 is, without burying the lede, a modern masterpiece. After more than 130 hours, Bradford is ready to render his final verdict.

If a save system can show players many outcomes and/or tailor the story to their liking, who cares?
Good review. I look forward to getting back to the game. I’m finding act 1 a bit lackluster. Probably because I’m trying to get to a quest point and keep running into dead ends so lots of back tracking.

I was leery at first when I heard Larian was doing BG3 because I really didn't want a DOS:2.5 but they went so far beyond that and really set a new standard for party-based CRPG gaming.
Anyone who misses it is really missing something special.
Frontrunner for GOTY, IMO.

Personally, I still think Solasta is the best example of this type of game we have seen in many many years. I love that game.
New Arc Line is another like this coming out next year that I think has massive potential and I am super excited about.
I played it through in a day.
Doubtful.
Nah I really did man.
Remember the year when that super duper divisive sony game won pretty much all of the awards and the amazing game that actually deserved it barely got anything?
You know it's going to be a repeat of that? right? This is why we need to 100% get rid of the rating system and awards ceremonies.

The sad truth is we don't get that many games (not just RPG's) made with this depth these days, Larian have pulled it out of the bag again. I wonder how long before they get bought up and put onto making a shooter?
Actualy, the dark urge is a "random" character. the only preset story line you can play that you cant encounter as a companion. during creation you will see you can change its race, class. so it can be a drown thief. or a human warlock.. male or female. whatever you wish it to be.
Its only kept as a choose rather then the default setting to play as "random" due to its dark background and some things you just cant avoid. but as any character, you can choose to be evil or good.
I highly recommencement playing as a dark urge as its the character most connected to the previous baldurs gate games.
While it's a good game, it isn't a 10/10 game. I would give it a solid 8-8.5.
Overrated, but such is the norm for this game.
Since the fastest play through was 3 days, I'll call you a straight out liar. I have no idea why anyone would even do it that fast since you would have to skip every cutscene in order to do it and probably have to use mods to give you the ability to race through the battles.
Bro probably hasn't even left the Nautiloid. RIP
Game does look beautiful. Does deserve high standard stamp.
Not my type of game. I'm not story driven. Pretty characters and neat world. But silly comparing it to massive mulitplayers. Like comparing a dishwasher to a hydraulic lift. Cause they're both tools, ya see? Not. Even. Close.
There is no way unless you unless you had a "death ending"
Yea I don't do cutscenes they break immersion for me (turns it like into a joke or something.) And it was my day off started 8 am and got through before I went to bed.
