I really, really enjoy Baldur's Gate 3. I love the dungeon designs and the creative gameplay... That said, narratively I'm rather disappointed. I'm not so sure what I expected, but story-telling-wise I find it not so satisfying, and that was a major selling point for me. There's no personal stakes, no good villains, too heavy on the very, very high fantasy and too annoying with all the constant dreams and tadpole-conversrsations, and god, all the in-your-face romances in camp. Don;t get me wrong, very impressed with the game, but not that special as it was hyped up to be, either.
Starfield, I downloaded yesterday. Taking a break from Baldur's Gate and explore this. Not done much, I'm on the first hub-world. The controls are really hard to get used to and coming out of BG3, the faces look so un-human. Not like in the picture above, the game is gorgeous. But somehow the faces look less human than they did in Fallout 4. Or it's jsut that I came out of BG3 which did an awesome job at faces, skin textures, eye colors and hair and so on. But, just the sheer world building and all the design of vehicles and buildings and everything in it... That alone is just top-notch, I find it really exciting to explore. Of course, after the first mission, the main plot turns into a stupid mcGuffin hunt across the Galaxy, and I've already encountered those Modern Day questing goals like 'scan plants 5/5 whcih I will never ever bother with... but... I'm rather excited for it.
