Baldurs gate 3 review4/12/2023 ![]() Well, what about the good then?īaldur’s Gate looks beautiful. Larian has been very active about this with the community and just by reading the updates on the Steam game page, you can see how committed they are to bring this much-loved classic to the modern age and do it complete justice.Īt this current point in time early access is expected for another year and you won’t be able to import your save file, so expect big changes to come. You may not mind that but as we were playing as a party, these moments for me felt like an option to build our story with the virtual DM being the cutscenes and choices we had outside of battle. You can have a party member start a very important cut scene and if you aren’t with them and right click “listen” you will miss it and the chance to vote on dialog options. I have even come across a scene where it straight up says “cut scene not ready” which really did take me out, as I was trying to romance another member of my party! Multiplayer also has some issues that need to be rectified. These are known issues no doubt, and sometimes I think it’s best to go in expecting some of the bugs/glitches you would from an early access game of this size. This can result in some hilarious facial animation hiccups and bendy necks. The sheer volume of cutscenes and lines pose a mammoth task in any RPG but the volume of lore and alternate conversation paths is impressive. This can occasionally be rectified by pressing O for a tactical top-down view though work is needed. I often had it glitch somewhat in big battles. The camera view is sometimes shockingly poor.

I’ve played multiplayer with Stef and two other friends for a full party and single-player as well to a total of 30 hours to feel comfortable writing this. It’s not cheap and it’s also in early access and subject to changes. Let’s get some disclaimers out of the way here. ![]() And if the user ratings and Steam reviews are anything to go by, then Larian Studios, creator of Divinity: Original Sin II have worked their magic again. Since the cinematic trailer dropping showing the mind flayers this has been something RPG fans and myself included have been eagerly awaiting. To say this game has been on the hype train would be an understatement. We all know how fantastic Baldur’s Gate 2 was and if you don’t, maybe you should have a little read up. I just can’t seem to catch a break recently! It’s a chance to escape the chaos of an uncontrollable world and get stuck into an RPG, where I can choose my own destiny, free from being off sick with Covid. This week though I am reviewing the much-anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3. I think if people spent less time worrying about politics and more time gaming, we would be happier. What do you think of my opening for my new RPG? I’m thinking of calling it “Escape ‘Murcia”. ![]() For some reason there are fires everywhere in trash cans, Snake Pliskin emerges from a nearby storm drain, with the only copy of Cyberpunk 2077 in existence, and a secret mission to deliver it to EA, our corporate overloads, to monetise it.
