RPG of the generation, divinity 2+ is an damn good game. had mates try the game and give it an fair shake when they never played turn based games prior, ended up loving and praising it afterwards speaks volume to its reach.

Me before BG3: "I hate turnbased combat, I'll never touch it" 170hrs later: best gaming experience ever, even better than Witcher 3. My new no. 1. Also this game opened up many other turnbased games to me, a whole new universe. Also I didn't know anything about D&D and because of BG3 I'm in love with that!

You can also try Divinity: Original Sin 2. It is not D&D, but it is the spiritual predecessor of BG3. It has slightly different combat, but plays very similar to BG3.

Did anyone get the bug in the Druid grove on the "Find your belongings " quest? Mol doesn't give me the option to get my stuff back. Is there a fix or am I screwed for this questline?
@TheInnerGamer
@TheInnerGamer 8 ай бұрын
Nope! When I encountered that part and they stole my stuff I thought the only way was through the little hole that was for smaller people, so I just reloaded a save and completely skipped that person! It looks like online people are still bugged with it. It’s definitely not our favorite quest in the game!

It feels like this game came out of nowhere by a cult indy dev and just stole "game of the year" from a year already full of great games.

*It did not "come out of nowhere" at all* (This is no objection, just an addition of my opinion on this). First of all, the Larian was around plenty of years, probably decades now. It had at least two really successful titles already with similar game mechanics, but were under-appreciated at that time. BG3 itself was in Early Access for three years and the reviews of that time were very favorable. Second, where are the "great games of the year"? In the CRPG area, I do not know many. The most hyped two releases I know of this year in similar areas where mere flops IMHO which did under-deliver by a lot. That fact though does not diminish the achievement of BG3. Third, IMHO the big studios are getting more and more lazy, IMHO because they are funded by big corporations and the stock exchange. The stock exchange and financial officers of big corporations do not care about playability, replay value or fun. They care, how to get as much profit out of players with as less investment as possible.

@kowaikokoro
@kowaikokoro 8 ай бұрын
yeah tactician feels like story mode for CRPG standard but think that was larian design intent, BG3 and 5E are by far the most accesible and easy to get into CRPG. Hence why it had 800K players on steam and more complex CRPG barely have above 100K peaks

If you craft well your party yes, even in Tactician it's sorta easy. You can try better enemies and all sort of mods which rump up enemy powers and it's again challenging.

This was hard to listen to. It’s almost like none of them played the game. It’s actually quite hard to lose party members. The game does not want it to happen. This is widely considered quite an easy game. Almost everyone save scums. People should play how they want, whether they be to save scum or not.

For a game of this scale, it's pretty uncommon for any review site small or large to have a full cast of completed runs. Go watch Game Informer, Kinda Funny, MinnMax or any of the large-scale podcasters out there reviewing this game, none of them had a full table of hosts who rolled credits on the game.

They definitely do, but the resolutions with companions and all your decisions and epilogue slides were bugged massively. To be fair, this is the perspective of a Dark Urge run which is more heavily involved in the plot. I dont know why people insisted not playing them first, its just a better experience

In the beginning of the video, we mentioned one of the panel beat the game. So we did have someone roll credits. That being said, choices do matter in this game throughout. They may not matter at the end, most of us haven't gotten there yet, but throughout the game there are countless moments where choices actually do have a noticable outcome on the future state of your game.

they deffinetly do matter but having heard feadback the devs have begun reinstating the extended epilogs they cut, fearing people would think they were too long also added 3 more ways one of the party members story can end since the community was mad at how the poor girl was done dirty.

"He is darkness"......oh, what a fitting name for such an obvious edge-lord 😆. I can assure you that what you've said is a flat out lie.....and I am almost certain your claim is *not* based on actual in-game experiences, as I doubt an edgy boy like you could finish the game once.....let alone the multiple times you'd need in order to see all ending variants. Its far more likely that its entirely based on what someone has said or written on the internet.....and you've decided to signal boost the lie without bothering to check your facts, as it conforms to your own edgy desire to hate the game. Now go play some D4 with the rest of the low-IQ Bobby Kottick rent-boys.

My biggest gripe besides countless bugs is the seemingly forced sexual encounters with everybody. You say hi to. You. Can't just be friends with a male character. If you're a male, they have to want to have gay sex with you. You cannot just be friends or have a positive comment with a female friend without her. Just wanting to have sex with you. I deal over hypersexualization of every character and just how they want to use every scenario to have sex with you and just forced weird gay sex stuff all the time. It's just disgusting. If you can get past losing a safe file every now and then or a corrupt bug or just all the over hyposexualization it's a pretty good d&d game as far as building the character exploring the world, but they really got to do something with all that sex stuff. I got to really care about dick sizes and vagina sizes like that's weird

Game deve thought the only people who play D&D are people who can't get laid so they decided to make a fantasy sex fetish game. There are plenty of RPGs out there but non of them scratched that fetish itch like Baldurs Gate has...
