I would make a review thread but it seems like reviewers just started playing, so there aren’t many yet.

If you never played the original Baldurs Gate games or the devs original Divinity Original Sin games then you are in for an absolute treat.

This game is basically Dungeons and Dragons with so many ways to play and have fun.

Imagine if you will a half demon and a Dragonborn walk into a bar. The Dragonborn is a bard and the half demon is what is called a Tiefling. The two are best friends ready to take on the world. They meet a dark elf who is a powerful druid that can turn into a spider and a dwarf who is also warlock. The four of them find themselves surrounded by bandits but fret not the Dragonborn sings his tunes to make the Tiefling stronger. The drwarf helps freeze them in place and the druid spins her spindly legs to eat the bandits.

Together they will save the world. Well if your brain imagines all that in your own way then welcome to Baldurs Gate 3.

I’ve decided to wait for the PS5 version, but will definitely get it then. Thankfully, I still have FF to finish.

For the first time in years I lost track of time while playing a game. It was 6:15 in the morning when I thought about actually getting some sleep. Kids woke up shortly after that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The friend group tried to play D&D over discord and it was like pulling teeth to get everyone online at the same time. I typically like having multiple players in games like this because it makes it more fun to actually play AS the character because we all have different motives/mindsets.

I’m doing a solo campaign first while I’m impatient, then I’ll do a group campaign when everyone can actually get together.

Damn. That puts me off it rather than wanting to buy it. The kids and Mrs would have no mercy if I get that engrossed.

I really want to play with my kid, she loves DnD, but I was exploring one place and I opened a barn door to be greeted by an orc rawdogging an ogre. Can’t have that stuff popping up with my kid playing.

Look, the only thing I can say is that I have no regrets :). What I plan on doing is just waking up an hour or so earlier and having some game time in the morning.

Does the game have good controller support? Steam Deck is the only way to get gaming done with the kids around.

I tried playing it on PC today, but it ran really poorly even on low, so I refunded it and will be waiting for the Xbox version as well.

Indeed. They even refunded my Ubisoft+ sub costs which surprised the hell out of me. I got two controllers free from various deals as well, they are decent Bluetooth controllers now. I think I paid for a handful of months of pro that I didn’t get back, but everything else was refunded.
