So this is basically the D&D game of everyones dreams and it has been a rampant success since coming out of Early Access and it potentially a GOTY contender in one of gaming's strongest years. Total players on Steam have only just dropped short of Hogwarts Legacy's peak by a couple of thousand. It also lets you get very silly with modern solutions to fantasy problems. twitter.com/MckKirk/status/1689651992317358080

This game is just amazing and I'm already planning on my alt runs, not even including Origin characters.

This is one of the horniest games I've ever seen. And that includes Final Fantasy VII Remake. It's quite frankly impressive.

Why is Minsc romanceable, Larian? Possibly brain damaged, talks to a hamster Minsc? The one NPC nobody even attempted to write a romance mod for in prior BGs outside of a joke option for one of the Romantic Encounters mods?
Seriously, that is still throwing me for a loop.

It's rare that something hits and everything I hear about it is positive. My computer is on the low end of what is needed to run it but I should be able to run the game. I'm thinking of picking it up sooner than later despite my incredible backlog.

It is gonna be on my buy list. I enjoy games this style, I recently finished Pathfinder Wrath of the Rigtheous though, and don't really have it in me to settle down to a similar style, no-doubt lengthy game just yet.

Easy contender for game of the year. Definitely the one with the most immediate effort even if it is mind numbingly difficult on normal.

I never played Baldur's Gate 1 or 2, but spent a ludicrous amount of time playing KOTOR and Dragon Age so I'm hyped to give this a try.
I'll probably get this on PS5.
Ugh, Starfield coming out too. I'll put that one on the back burner I think. Since its Bethesda I might as well let the community fix Bethesday's glitches first.
I'll also need to decide if I want to either hook my PC up in my bedroom or buy an X-Box.

I'll also need to decide if I want to either hook my PC up in my bedroom or buy an X-Box. Fortunately, this isn't a direct sequel to BG2 in the same sense that BG2 was to BG1, so it's a lot easier for people new to the series to jump right into BG3 and not feel like they're missing a whole lot. I guess some familiarity with Faerun and the rest of the Forgotten Realms setting would help, but I wouldn't call it mandatory either.
The first two BG games also really show their age now. The interfaces are pretty clunky and not intuitive compared to more modern games. AD&D 2E's ruleset is also a lot more uh, arcane than the 5E ruleset BG3 uses as its system backbone.

Yeah, I never played BG or BG2, was more of a Neverwinter Nights kind of guy, and it's very standalone. AMazing game on all aspects. Don't know what I'm going to do when Starfield hits in September.

With Bethesda games, it's usually a good idea to hold off a few months so they can fix the worst of the bugs.

It's very good, and I find Bards are awesome fun to play.

Do you think there will be an DLC content like say....new Races? I think all 12 main classes are accounted for, save for the Eberron-focused Artificer.

One of the downsides of having such an in-depth game, with so many permutations of cause and effect is it takes A LOT of time to put into it. Hence why it was in Early Access for so long. The devs made a statement mostly turning down any notion of 13-20 content or most types of DLC. Another reason is they were very much focused on putting out a complete game without needing any add-ons.

Have psionics been worked into 5e yet? (I haven't really been able to play in the last couple of months). I used to enjoy playing half-giants back in the 3.5 days.
