When I arrived to BG3, I was still extremely new to CRPGs with my only former experience being Divinity Original Sin 2 - which I had finished just a week or so before joining you guys here on the forums because my lack of DnD experience made me struggle ingame - and the community almost instantly replied with many helpful tips and advises (many of which I still heed :D). I spent (and still do) a lot of time observing the different debates here, sometimes offering my completely newbie point of view, and taking all of different opinions to heart in order to understand the many aspects of DnD and CRPGs.
During the winter, I had some recommendations from the community (special shout-out to Abits and Firesnakearies, thank you both for your recommendations!) and I have been exploring the games in-between my observations here on the forums.
By now I have finished PoE 1 and 2 (which I loved so dearly that my heart broke in half when I finished the second game - and I would probably put PoE1 as my favorite game of all times), managed to finish the entire part of BG3 that is available, had my second play-through in D:OS2 and I am almost done with Pathfinder Kingmaker as I write this - and as soon as I am done with Pathfinder Kingmaker, I'll wrap up Dragon Age: Origins (which I got stuck on almost immediately due to being bad, but I now feel confident enough to try it again!) and after DAO, I'll move on to Tyranny (with a healthy dose of BG3 every now and then
).
... And well, that's it I suppose. It is nowhere near as complex and compelling as many of the impressive open letters I've read from the community - but I tried.
All in all, I adore BG3. And I adore each and every single one of the CRPGs that I've played thus far - this entire genre of gaming has been eye-opening to me and I don't see myself ever stepping away from these types of games. I've learned so much from this community and am eternally grateful for the support you guys have offered and I'll do my best to repay my debt to the community as best I can.
You guys are awesome - and all of us (or at least the vast majority of us) want Larian to succeed with BG3 - so let's do our best to help them do just that.
Each of us in our own way, of course.
