Amazing Game

I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3. This game was in an early release state for years. I was interested in it, but I waited until the full release became available. This is just an amazingly deep game.

You can play it multiple times, making different choices and finding new parts of the story that you never imagined might exist. The choices you make with your character, and the companions you choose for your party, will make huge differences to your play through.

My first run was as a Human Sorcerer, I tried to play as a "Good Guy", but I did not manage to save everyone. There were some mistakes along the way. It was a complete blast. I started a second run with a Warlock and it's already been a much different game, easier, and a little darker. I find it hard to make "Bad Guy" choices.

I'll probably play it again, and try to be more evil. I want to experience as much of this game as I can.

Pros

  • Amazing writing
  • The best voice acting I have ever seen in a game. Sure sometimes one or two will be good, but every character is perfect here.
  • So many ways to get through a situation. You don't have to look for the one way to beat a boss. There are many ways, you may not even have to fight to win.
  • You can play it again and again and have new experiences. There are multiple endings.
  • It took a while, but the Mac release is great. I started playing on the PC, but switched to the Mac when it became available.

Cons

  • I used to hate turn based games. This is the first time I have really enjoyed it. But, there are still some times where it feels like an oponent is just standing there doing nothing.
  • Inventory management could be way better.
  • There are still some bugs. The first act of the game is mostly perfect. It was in beta release for years. There are some bugs with the later part of the game. I'm sure they will fix them. You can work around most of them.
