I am normally a budget gamer, but Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 were a huge part of my childhood, and after seeing how good the game was, I caved. And I’m glad I did! I am 8 hours into the storyline and I still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. The quality is fantastic. AC6 might break me too, but I think I can be patient on that one.
My love for the first two games is sortof why I’m avoiding it. I mean, I even didn’t like the concept of the proposed Black Hound game being called Baldur’s Gate 3. So I’m going to come in with opinions and just ruin it for myself even if its as good as some say, and that’s assuming WoTC having decades to ruin every scrap of coherency in the setting’s lore hasn’t impacted things negatively.
(One thing I really appreciate about Larian’s handling of BG3 is that they gave me enough info to come to that conclusion first.)
