Anyone else playing this? It’s still early, but I’m already pretty sure this will not only be my game of the year but also one of my favorite games of all time. Larian impressed me a lot with Divinity: Original Sin, but this is just a masterpiece so far. Also, it has cross save, so you can play on PC and then move up to five saves over to PS5 via the cloud when that version comes out (although you have to buy both versions to do that).
Bought this for one of my nieces the other night. Haven't really seen her since. She's just been in her room playing every second she can. Her parents are pissed at me. She has never played an RPG before. I think this is a pretty good first one to play.
Gdamnit, I've been slowly working on my backlog and forgot about wanting to get back to BG3 ... gah, need to dive in! 8 hours played and still not out of the opening area after multiple rebuilds and analysis paralysis.
@Archer gdamnit that video was awesome ... also have to get back to Sunny! Restarted it with my wife, she's never seen, I think we're on S4.
There is still a lot in Act 3 I haven't seen. But I had to call it quits for now. I'll come back later. So what did I end up playing instead. DoS2. This is my fourth playthrough of it. I'm also hoping the thing Larian "teased" earlier in the week about finishing a story outline for a first act in an upcoming project turns out to be DoS3.
Whats really cool replaying DoS2. Is even though this is like my fifth playthrough of DoS2, and this game came out first. I keep coming across random NPCs and saying, hey that is Shadowheart (Jennifer English), or that is Minthara (Emma Gregory). Its crazy how many random NPCs those two alone voiced in DoS2. And the narrator (Amelia Tyler) is Malady (important NPC). Lae'Zel (Devora Wilde) has a few as well. And Mizora (Tamaryn Payne) is Lohse (origin companion). Hell, even Jaheira (Tracey Wiles) has a few random NPCs. So far the only male voice actor that I've recognized is Raphael (Andrew Wincott). He does random NPCs as well.
The only ones that I recognized immediately when playing BG3 for the first time was Amelia Tyler. Her voice is unique. Hard to mistake her for anyone else. As soon as she spoke I was like, nice Malady is our DM for this game.
I am on my sixth playthrough and I can't stop. Still finding new crap. New dialogue has been added and new spells. I don't know how I'll ever play anything else.
> @sinnie how many hours do you have in the game now?
According to Steam, 510. Which surprises me because it sits idle a lot of the time. I have to get up and run after children/run my business so like yesterday my party was just chilling in camp for like 4 hours straight. So I find it hard to believe it's only that and wonder if it knows I'm idle or not.
I do know my first playthrough was around 80 hours so maybe it does have a way of knowing. My other playthroughs aren't complete like my first. I have 3-4 durge campaigns (redemption and not) and I'm curious about all the endings but haven't quite finished except for the good guy (selfish) one. IYKYK
