Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Make sure you leave a steam review.

OP I've read your post about leaving a Steam review. I've also read many other posts where you've made it clear that you don't really like the way this game is going. My question is what exactly are people supposed to say to make you happy when they write their review on Steam? I've played the Early Access game and I liked what I saw. Should I post a positive review or do you only want reviews that agree with your opinion of the game? It seems to me that you're trying to promote review bombing to put this game in a negative light because you aren't happy with it. That's not right. You're entitled to your opinions but that doesn't mean that you're right and everybody else is wrong. In fact if we go by ratings and review scores this game is going in the right direction. There's only a small minority such as yourself who seems to have a problem with this game.

So what if it isn't exactly 5e rules. Bioware, Obsidian and Troika didn't implement the rules exactly when they created BG1, BG2, NWN, NWN 2 and ToE. There are feats and skills in those games that you won't find in any D&D rulebook. Things get adapted and changed when converting from a tabletop rpg to a computer rpg. So what if people think Solasta follows 5e rules better than BG3 does? To me all that says is that different developers went different ways in converting 5e rules to the computer. As for BG3 seeming a lot like DOS2 that's absurd. The same game engine was most likely used to create both games. Just as Bioware did with BG1 and BG2. Obsidian used what Bioware already had and refined it to create NWN2. Nothing wrong with that.

I've played BG3 and DOS2. There are similarities as far as game functions go but the rules are definitely different between the two games. As for BG3 following 5e rules, I believe that for the most part the game does follow 5e rules. I make allowances for where it deviates because I'm not a game developer or programmer but I do know that sometimes changes need to be made to convert from tabletop to computer. People had no problem when Bioware did the same thing with NWN.

My point with all of this goes back to your OP telling people to leave a Steam review. I like the direction the game is going. If it ends up with the same kind of editing tools that DO2 has this game will have the same type of longevity that NWN has. Let me ask you again. I'm ready to post a review. What exactly do you want me to say? Are positive reviews allowed? Or are you only looking for review and opinions that you agree with?
