I am very, very excited! I've been playing over 900 hours in early access already (I've also spent a lot of time in character creation), and it still never gets boring.

From what I've experienced in early access, and from what I've seen in the panel, Baldur's Gate 3 will very likely become my most favourite game.

I don't think that everything is perfect, either, but for me, the things I like clearly outweigh the things I might have done differently.

I especially like the character writing. I think all of our companions are very well written, complex and nuanced characters, and I want to know more about them. They really have grown dear to me in early access. And I love Karlach already 😄

I always assumed that, since they are these complex characters, our companions could take different paths, depending on our interactions with them, and our actions in the world. I was very happy when the associate lead writer confirmed this, that our companions do "have the potential to grow and develop in interesting ways", and that it is our player character "who is influencing how they develop and who they become."

There would be so many possible different outcomes - not only for the overall story arc, or our own character, but also for each companion - the replayability would be incredible.

I love the cinematic dialogues - and the voice acting is just perfect.

And even with only a few lines of dialogue, the NPCs I've met in early access all have their own personalities. I think I'll spend hours just talking to each and everyone in Baldur's Gate - and then use a spell or take a potion to talk to every animal 😂

I wish people would talk a bit more about the other romance scenes we've seen in the panel, like the incredibly cute dinner date scene with Karlach.
Or the little glimpses we got from other scenes, like the rowing boat scene with Gale, dancing with Wyll, or Astarion accepting to be hugged and hugging back (which was quite touching, I think), for example.

I think the idea of the Dark Urge is very interesting - we can have a background story like the other origin characters, while still being able to create our own character, and choose our own path. I like that we can choose to resist the dark urges, or give in.

I can't wait to explore Baldur's Gate, from what I've seen, it looks beautiful, with much attention to detail.

And I want to know what's really going on - who is the Absolute, and will we ever get rid of this creepy tadpole?

There's much more I could write (and maybe I will later), but I think it should be clear that I like this game, very much.

So one ticket for the train, please!
