I'm hyped as hell! I've got over 900 hours in EA so far, although some of that was forgetting to switch the pc off at night.
No game is perfect and Larian have a definite style, which I really like but some here obviously don't. Everything I've seen recently has me so excited to finally play the full version.
I loved what I saw of Karlach, a real breath of fresh air. I thought in the scenes they showed us, she came across as a real flesh and blood person. I really want to play a tiefling and romance her and I love the new mechanical changes which mean I can play a dex based class and fit her, Gale and maybe Shadowheart/Halsin/Jaheira into a balanced party.
I never play as evil because tbh I end up asking myself why would I do this for most evil options. However I'm really tempted by the Dark Urge origin because it looks like there will be a real strong narrative reason to lean in to this and not just do it for the sake of it. I still wouldn't go full murder hobo though, more manipulative, holding myself in check when it suits me and succumbing when the situation is right. I'm really interested to see if this is possible.
