It's disheartening to see some of the negativity in these forums. It's impossible to create a game that satisfies everyone's desires, but it would be great if more people focused on what this game does well instead of what it lacks. However, people's attitudes are difficult to change, so I'm here to inject some positivity. Yes, I'm a fanboy, and I'm aware of it.
I've invested over 750 hours in early access, which surpasses the amount of time I've spent on any full-release game by a significant margin. If early access was the only version available, this game would still provide more value and enjoyment than any other game I've ever played. To me, this game is revolutionary. It brings one of my favorite fantasy settings to life in a way that no computer game has ever done before.
Are there things I wish were different, added, or omitted? Of course. But complaining about minor details, especially when there are so many incredible things about this game, is incomprehensible.
If this game's early access was released as a finished product, I would consider it one of the best games I've ever played. But with the recent information they've released, the Panel from Hell, and things that people have noticed in videos and screenshots, I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. Some of the features that they've added, which haven't even been discussed, but were noticed by sharp-eyed observers in videos and screenshots, are fantastic.
46 subclasses? How will I ever decide? Oh, wait...I can play through multiple times, multiclass, and/or change my class mid-playthrough...that's amazing!
The level of detail in the city of Baldur's Gate...I've spent hours exploring the Druid Grove and the Goblin Stronghold, and it might take me days to see everything in this city!
The voice-acting, romances, all the cool side characters and stories...
I can't wait for the full release of this game; it's driving me insane!
Who else is excited about this game? What are you looking forward to the most? Who's boarding the Fan Train?
