Baldur’s Gate 3 early access season is upon us. While this is very much in the early stages, what we’ve put our hands on shows that Larian Studio has moved things forward in the correct areas while maintaining what made Divinity Original Sin 2 such a phenomenal RPG. With that in mind, it’s precisely why I am no longer playing the game and waiting for the final version to release.

You know it's D&D when the failure has a better outcome than the success.
Give me a break. Baldur's Gate is just a marketing ploy. This is not Baldur's Gate anymore than the crap BD put out. Game looks like shit and a waste of time to play. Also, get a clue: character: Tiefling Warlock sworn to serve the devil … no paladin. Hum, ^^ paid pundit. D&D is not always satanic, but it often is today.
This game is legit. I love it and I tend to hate on everything. Furthermore it is not Drow like cow it is Drow like row.
Baldur's gate is trash compared to elder scrolls
Looks terrible, and nothing to do with actual baldur
Turn based games are not true rpg for me
It’s still funny to me that there’s plenty of people who don’t know what EA: early acsess is or what it involves, even if it’s a a year of waiting I feel tempted to get into EA just to practice or stare at char creation..
I played the 20 hours to level cap. They did an excellent job adapting 5e rules – the food as bonus action. And you don't have to cook the food! And no crafting required. All the good stuff without the spam! If they finish completing this, it will be better than DoS2.
I walked into this thinking there is no way I can play my tabletop half-drow warlock in early access. I'm extremely pleased with it so far.
The title is so true. I think if they do it right this game will cast a huge shadow over everyone who will even attempt to make a CRPG in the future.
I really enjoyed Divinity 1 and while I agree Divinity 2 was the best RPG of the last several years., it wasnt great. Its ground AOE almost ruined the game entirely for me. The entire battlefield being covered in fire from the first move on, was just soooo bad.
It would be better with a non turn based combat system.
Is this really what D&D feels like? If so… I want to try it. I just bought the game cause it looked cool, the rolling of dice to create choices is awesome. I also like to play that demon race… looks cool.
What type of Pc would this game be best for?
This doesn't look like a game for everybody though, I personally can't stand this kind of combat system. It's slow and boring
Really wish it was releasing for consoles… :/
I'll take the Witcher 3 over any other RPG that came out this generation
My dislike is solely to tell you to go play early acess, even In Ea the game is better and has lesser bugs than any game done by Bethesda…
Sounds like something you would want to release on multiple platforms.
You're approach is spot on. I really enjoyed the game initially, bugs aside, but once I knew more and started again I became acutely aware of the quest breaking bugs when I was playing outside of the guided path. It has massively affected my enjoyment leading to me also stepping back from EA. For anyone buying the game, just go where the game tells you to go in the order it tells you. The game will feel a lot smoother this way and NPCs won't just go missing etc.
Can't help but feel something………something wrong…….Played an EA game with all the bugs and errors you expect for 3 hours and you can't wait to tell people to buy it.
Graphics: Nothing special and all the animation glitches etc ofc are going to be because IT'S EA.
Sound: Nothing special you could almost just say listen to their other games and you wouldn't notice anything different and voice acting is a mess but IT'S EA.
Story: Actually good .
Dialogue: Your actions right now don't mean anything you can pick any option and they do not remember what you just said but IT'S EA.
Repeatability: People have argued that even though this Act 1 is 20+ hours you can play it again but that not actually true…..You could never do combat solo so you need people with you, those companions limit what role you can play since there is no point playing as:
A wizard – cleric – fighter – rogue because your companions will be those so you will have already played as them.
Full price for 1/3 of a game = Fuck Right Off
Started playing this last night. Didn't stop till the sun came up. Reminds me of Dragon Age Origins. Real Gem.
It's funny because divinity original sin 2 finally gave me what I was waiting for since BG3. I didn't need BG3 anymore, yet here we are and damn I can't wait.
how is, "I haven't really played the game and not gunna anytime soon" an 11 minute video?
Baldur's gate 1 and 2 makes this game feel like a tetris with a shiny graphics. Just play the old games, this has nothing to do with them. Developer use the title to get more money
played long enough to see tatorial. THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER! pffft.
matty: "wait to spend your money"
me: "I've already spent 31 hours in the game! What is life!?!"
I wonder what the Dragon Age Developers are thinking seeing this game.
Evil path needs work
Hey Matty! New fan who found his way to you via Sacred symbols (CLS Patron). You from Edmonton area? Couldn't help but notice the Oilers hoodie as I'm from Edmonton myself. Cheers!
shill
The old school BioWare comment is exactly how I felt after spending some time in the game. Even in Early Access this thing is special. So, so excited to see it grow.
I'm in early access and loving this. It is very much a Dragon Age Origins/BGII successor with old school fully realized faithful D&D implemented. Everything I wanted. This is it, dream come true material.
I didn't like the Divinity games. I like more linear storylines. "Open" games feel pointless and not thought out enough for me. I want everything to matter, and i like stortyelling. I frear this is just another Divinity game, and reviewers should talk about if that is the case.
I've have so few crashes, barely any bugs. It's more polished than most complete titles already.
This is not a baldersgate game ! This is dos3
Dragon Age: Origins made you care about the characters i don't core about Baldur's Gate 3 characters.
"There's like a ridiculous BioWare feeling" No
At the cost of sounding like a lazy moron, I despise too much text in games. I appreciate lore and context in conversation but I’m not gonna read it. Have a narrator or npc voice act it for me AS I PLAY without making me wait for you to finish as I stand there. Strange rant
Hey another Dark Alliance fan! I loved replaying that game for the loot over and over again too
Dark alliance. Fuck yes
Oh no, not my type of RPG. Pass.
Puts other RPGs to shame?
Subjective opinion. In it's current state, I'd say it's miles away from being as great as Pathfinder: Kingmaker or the first two Baldur's Gates. That is MY opinion, of course. My biggest gripe with it is, that it's just too much Divinity: OS in there. I wish it was more true to the originals, but instead we get goofy dialogue, goofy graphics, goofy spell animations and the worst offender for me: Ground effects. One thing I really hated about Divinity games is that during combat, half of the time I am not using my character to do stuff, but am instead using the terrain or inventory items to beat my enemies. Oil barrels placed at convenient locations everywhere, patches of toxic slime, grenades, scrolls and special arrows for every occasion. What's the point of developing my characters when more than 70% of a fight is decided by the usage of consumeables and terrain features? And I can already see BG3 going a similar path.
Sorry Matty I think ur wrong…..I have over 130 hours already an have prolly still missed a few dark corners
