"Is it worth a buy...is it?", "Let's read the words of the words, of the developer?".
Mack said yes, so at 60% off I pulled the trigger.
I couldn't finish the first Pathfinder...the politics card game was just not for me and ruined the story for me. It was like being on the bridge of the Enterprise where I had to be the Captain, the tactical officer, communications, whilst simultaneously running engineering........on the back of a horse.
Now I have wished that Larian had taken the common sense approach that Solasta did...by starting with the good foundation of adding ALL the past elements of what makes a D&D immersive including a working clock, day AND night, weather and a decent interface. From there I wish they had realized that the game is already balanced...if and only if they follow the RAW. Then built all the greatness they have on top of that.
Instead the built up to the 22nd floor and realized that the foundation was wrong...OH CRAP!!!
I love BG3, and they are well on their way to arriving in London from Belgium, all the while traveling unwaveringly east.
It will never have a sense of time, day/night, weather, or a decent interface (baring a miracle...Its still not too late to outsource these obstacles), but I do appreciate what Larian has brought to the table.
I seriously doubt playing Pathfinder will change my opinion of BG3.
BG3 is a beautiful and fun game in its own right...just not faithful.
