With its turn-based battles, different art style and focus on systemic shenanigans, Baldur’s Gate III isn’t an attempt to resurrect an old series. It’s something new that pushes the systems and creative mayhem from Original Sin and combines them with the rules D&D.

GOTY 2021.
the biggest thing i want ported from Divinity: Original Sin 2, is the ability to customize your party. I want to play as a story character, but I don't want to be locked into their class/choices.
at the very least, being able to chose say, shadowheart's deity choice would be nice, or any of the specialties like that for other story characters.
though, having the ability to completely customize your party is much more appealing to me.
maybe that will be an option once we're able to select the story characters from the start, but i still want to change them in the game too.
The guy talking in this video should at least sleep a bit or eat something properly before talking into a video game review…
Love how Larian listens to feedback about their games. BG3 is great so far. Hoping they won't listen to the soon to be coming complaints about BG3's class system. "Why can't I cast lvl 10 wizard spells and be the best rogue/ranger fighter all at once? Waaaaah!"
its original sin 3, meh
I didn't realize the incorporation with D&D mechanics. Might do a lets play series on this game….. looks very interesting.
You need to listen this guy in a low volume. He makes unberable sounds…
They still keeping that censorship inspired from after ES2 Daggerfall censorship 😕
Hope Larian or modders eventually do turn based combat in real time with active pause mode before that I'm not buying the game. I understand that they're aiming as well for the console market later on and rtwp would be really cumbersome on a controller for the main release, but it messes up the pacing making it very gamey- chess like, and any sense of any immersion that original Infinity Engine games had with more naturally flowing game without fake feeling of transition from exploration to combat is completely diminished, plus it makes combat 3x slower, full of also 90% hit chance misses and that can feel so bloody tedious hence (actually some tediousness was a bit of a thing with IE games as well no doubt, but still way more dynamic/ lively even if a bit chaotic, and actually handling that chaos with an active pause was a part of a charm imo) plus obv original BG and all the rest of IE games were rtwp. Game should be good in couple of months especially on the actual release (60$ early access-wtf lol) as a Original Sin successor but so far it feels like it really struggles to capture the BG2 atmosphere that I was rly, most understandably, hoping for.
Hope they gonna dial down on some of the special effects, especially the ones around the characters heads, they really look silly and infantile, like as if I was watching a cartoon. Plus already missing the hand drawn sketches and rich lore filled descriptions of the items, god weren't they beautiful.
It doesn't support gamepad on pc so i.m out on this game and the fighting style is super weird for this game what a waste of money
Too much mumbling, bad pronouncing, hard to listen to. Should speak more clearly or refrain from narrating in the future!
Divinity Original Sin with dice ?
this is what happens when a developer who makes a game that they would love to play gets given a budget that isn't next to nothing. the beta has been quite buggy but thats expected and acceptable given its early access during covid. the base mechanics here look to be the best modern crpg ever made possibly once everything is done and polished. wish bigger companies cared about their games and had the level of talent that larian does.
This guys voice makes nails being scratched across a chalkboard sound like Pavarotti.
You sound like you struggle with the big words…. stick to less articulate script
Good God I can't watch this video with his narration.
This review is a chore to listen to. The review's script itself doesn't seem to flow very well and jumps from topic to topic at random, and the narrator definitely lacks a voice suitable for narration.
We live in a world now where companies sell demos for $60 and people are happy give them money for it, peak impatience achieved.
How do we capture the true essence of what gamers want?
Let them be able to push people of cliffs. The rest is irrelevant
I've been having an absolute blast, I keep trying different race and class combos 🙂
yuck looks like a strategy game
Divinitys turn based engine was built for bg3, but the new divinty games O/S 1&2 came about because they had to prove themselves before being allowed to make a dnd licensed game…so it's not a case of bg3 resembles dos2, it's the fact that they were a trial run before baldur's gate and all the amazing systems were built with dnd in mind.
I really want to purchase the game now, but I'll wait until it's a finished, polished game. I just can't stand early access games from big time developers.
Game sucks, huge battles are a chore, magic is underpowered and a chore, it's slow, the characters are laughably bad. It's like a worse DOS2.
such a horrible review
barely can understand anything you are saying
Sure, the voice-work could use some improvement. The review was otherwise great. It really sold the flavor of the experience rather than being exhaustive in detail. Definitely will pick this up once it releases in full and has some of the bugs worked out.
not too satisfied with how they exchanged the classic, charming dnd feel with a pirates of the carribean-esque one.
wtf why does the black guy talk like a fake gangster road man .. in a high fantasy universe seriously is this just a SJW checklist >?
I'm just going to wait. Too many good games coming out and it's early access.
So many hating on the narration. If you want a smooth voice then go listen to some pop song. Given that you guys are watching this early review you are probably just as geeky as he is and shouldn't care this much. Half of you are probably half ogre and half dwarf anyway. Get over yourselfs.
The guy talking sounds like he has no chin.
The narrator is probably on contract and PC Gamer wont pay for home office equipment. But man, you need sound dampeners and a quality microphone.
This guys voice isn't even that bad, you guys are just morons.
