1. What do you think of BG3?
Amazing but very troubled game, I'd rate it 6/10. Act 3 is in a really bad shape and every patch creates more bugs than it fixes, especially game breaking ones.
2. Did you play from early access or did you wait until full release?
I played early access a bit because I loved BG1 and BG2.
3. What did you find the most enjoyable?
In early access or in the full release? Generally speaking I enjoy the complexity the game has to offer, the crazy amount of content you can discover, the combat, that I react emotionally to all NPCs, the overall design, the amazing voice actors (give those guys a raise!)...
4. What about the least enjoyable?
Game is too easy for my taste on tactician, companions are very well written but I'd prefer some less "over the top" and more "down to earth guys", the oversexualisation of literally everything in the game, the number of bugs, the cut content, the change from daisy to emperor... It feels like the game was dumbed down a bit. The number of companions you can bring and companion management. If have to explain that a bit, the game is designed in such a way that basically every character can add something to dialogues and some are actually needed to move the story forward. In act 1 and 2 that is not really an issue as I can change companions basically when I need to do a long rest anyway. In act 3 however I hop in and out of camp every few minutes to bring the companion combination I think will make most sense for the dialogue.
5. What would you like to see added? Any DLC, tweaks or extra features?
Make tactician tactical. Change the camera (see mods). Rework act 3 so that it better connects to act 2, is bit more streamlined and bring back missing content with it. Give me at least one companion who simply was at the wrong place at the wrong time and only wants a cold beer after a day of goblin slaying. I'd appreciate a DLC but don't feel it is needed.
6. Do you use any mods? If so which and why?
Yes, native camera tweaks as Larians camera implementation is a hate crime and I get depressions from constantly looking at the floor. Apart from that cosmetic ones like more head options because I don't want to run around ugly. I also added a crafting mod that lets you upgrade your gear because I like the idea and want stuff like the Everburn Blade to stay relevant a bit longer. And I installed the helpers you need to make that stuff work. I also installed Shadowheart and Minthare face mods cause hell, why not? I'm sucker for beautyful girls
And a mod that let my recruit Minthara without going murder hobo on the druid groove. In a future playthrough I want to use some class mods, probably 5e spells and probably a difficulty mod, but I try to stay as close as possible for vanilla for now and only use mods that address stuff that really bothers me. Have I mentioned Larians atrocious camera yet?
7. Do you play any other kind of D&D, Baldurs Gate or Forgotten Realm games/campaigns?
I play mostly soulslikes, but I'm fond of the Pathfinder games. Looking forward to rogue trader.
