Everyone has its own opinion and it's fine. For me, a perfect example of overrated game is Witcher 3. It was a good game, but not as good as people see it. Surely not the best RPG ever made.

I agree with you about Lone Wolf part, but loot is not random only, it contains many fixed items as the rewards that are often better than randomly generated loot. Yeah, i've fallen in love with the story, characters, quests, visuals, world and gameplay. I rated the game 9.5/10 on the polish largest gaming site (something like metacritic) and for me it's a fair score. I just had enormous amount of fun while playing it and loved every minute of the time spent in this game.

Anyway, i am sorry for offtopic, it's a thread about BG 3 so lets focus on BG 3 now smile


First time poster here. Been a lurker from afar since the initial BGIII announcement.

The Witcher 3 stands firm on my top 5 list, easily. Apart from the repetitiveness of all those fetch quests it is pure quality in many areas, and they simply nailed the atmosphere most of the time. That hut where you are looking for a witch, wow. I was tense all the way. And on your way to that courtyard when you hear someone digging a grave, getting closer and closer. Just a few examples.

ANYWAY, back to BGIII. I'm looking forward to PAX for sure. I've mostly been a traditionalist regarding which directions I think they should take but now I just hope it's good and gives me that good old BG feeling (I doubt it actually). I played D:OS when it came out, and what I liked the most was the music. The graphics were nice, but too cartoonish for my taste. They obviously need to have a more realistic depiction when dealing with BGIII. That's my humble opinion at least.
