Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General BG3 similar to which games

I’m a bit confused. You haven’t played an RPG since original Zelda, but you list games since then that are much more RPG?

Anyway, if you liked DOS games, you probably won’t be disappointed. They have a similar look and feel, how you can approach things in different ways, how combat plays out with each encounter being very different rather than wading through hoards of the same enemies. just with a D&D rule set instead of their own system (I prefer BG3).

They also borrow a lot from classic Bioware, particularly Dragon Age Origins. With the character interactions, dialogue and cut scenes, getting to know party at camp, and of course sexy time if you want.

In short I’d say it’s a blend of DOS, original BG and Dragon Age.

The randomness of dice rolls is a big part of the combat system, but it’s very tactical in much the same way as DOS games. At the beginning, you won’t have too many option, but after a few levels, they’ll be a bunch of things you can do on any character’s turn. It’s all about deciding which spells or abilities to use when, not just taking a swing and hoping you hit.
