[quote=Umsche] I have never seen more criticism than here. And this is a criticism of the level "this game is not like BG2". Outside of this forum, I only see very good reviews. Especially from players who did not play old BG and did not play DnD.
Really? I am not some 20ies year player. I did play BG1 and BG2 a long time ago indeed. That said many that did play BG1 and BG2 were not adults when they played example 12-15 (I keep my age secret) years old I did play with my brother in LAN at my parents home and that you usually do when you are not adult.
You can check my taste in music in thread
"BG1 & BG2 worth it while waiting ?"
and I would say most people would say it not ancient music that I like for sure. Oh and in martial arts people still respect me I am fit.
I am D&D and BG gamer... and there are lots really lots of people who have tried D&D paper at least some version at some point in their lives.
Here is my True verdict of BG3:
+ Story is good.
+ Graphics are good.
+ Combat is fairly good.
+ Music and sound effects are good.
+ System requirements fairly ok. I mean at least lots less then example Cyperpunk 2077.
+ Support turn based combat.
+ Have a bit D&D feeling.
+ Support solo play and up to maximum 4 players cooperative play.
+ Ok companions.
Neutral: To early to judge it is ALPHA and only part of Act 1 and not all classes or Cleric domains that exist in players handbook are not released at least yet.
Neutral: Perhaps some bugs exist, but nothing game breaking for me right now.
Neutral: Early Access is only in Normal difficulty setting. It would be interesting to test other difficulty settings.
Neutral: I do hope we can get more good alignment companions in Act 2 for a change.
- Camera control is average at best. Seriously? WOW MMO camera control: 5/5 stars, Nevewinter MMO camera control 4/5 stars... Baldurs Gate 3 camera control 3/5 stars and yes I know you can in Combat press O and get tactical overview, but even that feels slightly clumsy.
- Well I do understand that some D&D players would it like to more according to D&D rules. Doctor give me some medicine please? Doctor: Naah I have played BG3. Here eat this apple if you still are sick then eat some more food!
- While I do like turnbased combat why not give option to voluntary unpause combat?
My score: 8.5/10.
