Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Prepared for 100k Concurrent Players, They’ve Gotten 700K

I haven’t played any Baldurs gate before, but the hype has definitely made me look into it.

Definitely seems like a game I’d like, a fantasy RPG, I haven’t always loved turned based combat, so that’s one of my hold ups. What do y’all think of the combat system?

As someone who hasn’t played a single game remotely close to it before (Titanfall, a little call of duty, Final Fantasy 14, Halo), all I can say is PLAY IT. It’s disorienting at first but once you play it for an hour you’ll like it, and after three you won’t he able to pit it down.

If you’re unsure if it will be for you, pick up divinity original sin 2, same maker and very similar style, but (a) without the d&d license and (b) will cost much much less. Both BG3 and DOS2 are incredible games which you can easily pour a hundred hours into

  DOS2 is my favorite RPG ever. The game uses tactics and positioning far better than any other RPG I’ve tried.

I personally like it very much, it feels dynamic?, for a lack of a better word, despite it being turn based.

However most encounters can be avoided, via conversation, choices, environment kills etc. So you don’t need to fight much, if you don’t end up liking it. ^(*as of act 2/3)

The combat system is classic but with tactical Larian improvements from their other games.

I like it, but you can definitely get burned out from really long combat sessions. You can always lower the difficulty and blast your way through it, though.

  Outside the combat, how have you liked the game?

    Apart from a few glitches here and there, the game feels really complete. The story is really well made and the writing is top tier. If you come for the RPG elements of talking to every NPC and finding a lot of fun dialogue, you’ll love it.
    
    If you want something without combat, although not fantasy, Disco Elysium has become my favorite CRPG ever.
