I knew the name of Baldur's Gate only by reputation having previously played other types of rpgs only on consoles, but I was intrigued by the franchise reputation and the ciematics that were released for this game.

I do like the game a lot and see the potential for many hours of play, particularly when more the game world eventually gets opened up, but the turn based mechanic has been a steep learning curve for me. Plus, adjusting to ongoing early access stuff like glitches and bugs is very peculiar to wade through, however beyond that the patches seem to break about as much as the things that they purport to correct? And that is vexing in the extreme!
