I love the idea of a desert island game DonkeyKong and the best bit is you have your cake and eat it because this is a lot of games in one.
I see battles as a chess game too and am known to refight battles we won just for the sport. Thank the gods for timestoning.
I think I agree with your wild opinion, particularly in the sense that Sozz mentioned. I see RPGs as a collaboration between players and developers beginning with our detailed character creation, and BG3 gives me so many choices in game I could only imagine before.
As LainaLou said we can all mention things we hope are sorted and have in other threads. My in-game best mate Wyll and girlfriend Karlach may be the best examples. But as a story-teller, a partner helping me tell the story of
my character, my character
s, BG3 has no rival.
My take. The game has lots of bugs, some that have cut me out of significant plots. However, and I have played video games for a long time, I am going to state a wild opinion: this is still the best game I have ever played. Ever. I think whoever these writers are that the major Hollywood studios needs to hire them for the villains alone. Here is a RPG where choices matter. People can die. It seems that every battle is like a chess game, but they still throw curve balls that I have to hit. It makes me think. There was several throw away lines that made me laugh out loud.
On many long games, I will likely never go back to play again. While I adored Witcher 3, I doubt I could go back. I am already thinking about my BG3 second and third play through. If I was told I could only play a single game for the rest of my life, it would be this. My desert island game.
Of course they will work on the bugs. Some may not get fixed. While they are an issue, I understand that it has to be released. They needed to get paid. And I hope they all get huge fat bonuses and continue with this license. I could only imagine what they would do with a Spine of the World or Planescape setting. I mention those due to the obvious connection with the IE games; nevertheless, if they picked up some Grayhawk modules I would probably lose my mind.
