1. What do you think of BG3?
Absolutely loved it (pun intended, apologies).
2. Did you play from early access or did you wait until full release?
About 300 hours in early access.
3. What did you find the most enjoyable?
To my surprise, the companions. I don’t usually care that much for companions and often build my own when given the option. But I became really attached to Wyll and Karlach, and getting to adventure with Minsc and Jaheira again brought a big smile to my face.
4. What about the least enjoyable?
The difficulty is definitely off. I’ve heard many anecdotes from people who find the game very difficult, but if you are a half-way decent tactician and know how to stack synergies, the game becomes too breezy. My monk could just stun most bosses, so many late game bosses died in two turns without getting to preform a single attack.
That said, this wasn’t a deal breaker and I still had a great time.
5. What would you like to see added? Any DLC, tweaks or extra features?
I feel BG3 is a complete game. Performance updates and patches are all I think it needs. I’m more interested in what Larian is doing next. In the meantime, BG3 is going to keep me entertained for years to come.
6. Do you use any mods? If so which and why?
No. I might look for a balance mod at some point, but right now I’m playing a multiplayer campaign so I’m going to leave the game vanilla until we finish, and that will be a while.
7. Do you play any other kind of D&D, Baldurs Gate or Forgotten Realm games/campaigns?
I am a DM and build my own campaigns in a bespoke homebrew setting called Frontier Continent.
