Review in progress
Normally I don't rate games I haven't finished playing, however, I couldn't hold myself because I just finished Act 1 and I can't believe that I'm saying this, but it's arguably my new favorite videogame of ALL TIME so far.
Un-fcking-believable...
Update: I just finished Act 2 now and it's still arguably my new favorite videogame of all time or one of my favorites, even though I found Act 2 to be noticeably weaker than Act 1 (still great nonetheless), but it was also much shorter, so we'll see how Act 3 is gonna be...

Horas jogadas: 182

Um jogo espetacular, finalizei praticamente 2 vezes, uma com um grupo de amigos, porém não chegamos a finalizar o ato 3. E uma sozinho aonde zerei.

Baldurs Gate é um clássico rpg de mesa, a jogabilidade é ótima pois te permite fazer escolhas que poucos jogos permitem, como matar o personagem o empurrando do penhasco. A história e ambientação não perdem em nada e fazem você querer continuar jogando, pois permitem diversas escolhas e caminhos diferentes a se seguir. os gráficos são ótimos e cada personagem tem seu próprio estilo, história e ideais. Apenas não dou 5 estrelas por conta de ser um jogo nichado, que pode não agradar a todos.

Recomendo: Sim, mas tem que entender que é um jogo de turno e que o principal é a história e como suas escolhas afetam ela.

Muita gente diz que RPG de turno compensa o combate "ruim" com uma história maravilhosa. Baldur's Gate 3 está no seleto grupo de jogos que é oposto dessa "máxima". É um jogo com combate fenomenal, lhe dando possibilidades infinitas de abordar cada situação da sua gameplay da forma que você quiser. Dá pra sair na porrada, usar stealth, virar um dinossauro, encantar inimigo, distrair inimigo com uma apresentação de música, etc. Se de um lado você é livre pra fazer o que quiser com as milhares de builds, do outro você tem uma narrativa cheia de escolhas que, inevitavelmente, vão culminar nos mesmos 3 caminhos de história. Não teria problema ter essa "falsa liberdade" na narrativa, só que Baldur's Gate 3 conduz sua história do mesmo jeito que o Luciano Huck conduz o The Wall. É enrolação atrás de enrolação, build up após build up, voltas e mais voltas, pra no final, ele fazer um speedrun e resolver todas as pontas no ato 3. Isso seria até tolerável, se o jogo não tivesse 100h+. E isso sem falar que a narrativa de Baldur's Gate 3 é que nem a de Dark Souls, só que sem a parte do conhecimento de lore se fazer só por itens e cenário. Em Baldur's Gate 3, os personagens passam a maior parte do tempo falando expositivamemte do mundo, do que, de fato sendo personagens desse mundo. Baldur's Gate 3 é tipo aquele seu professor que é um cara muito bacana, mas a aula é um saco.

"Disregard. The smell gives me sweet dreams." -Balthazar Personal Notes: 2

(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ Playing BG3 is like stumbling into a tavern full of eccentric characters and realizing you're the weirdest one there. Every decision shapes your fate and the destiny of those around you. It's a thrilling blend of immersive storytelling and strategic combat, where alliances are forged and broken, and the line between hero and villain blurs with each choice. A thing to note, the monsters aren't always the scariest thing you'll encounter - sometimes it's the unexpected antics of your own party members or strangers you meet. "૮₍ •⤙•˶

it's weird given the amount of time I have spent playing this game but there isn't a lot I feel needs to be said. everything about this is such a magical experience. I will cherish that first playthrough for years to come.

the only real gripe I had with this game was the myriad of technical issues that followed my playthrough. animations were slow to render, textures and models popping in way too late, and lots and lots of crashes. unless you have a SSD I would buy this with caution as long as you can stomach some classic western RPG bugginess.

somehow besides all that I still loved every minute of it. few games have captured my attention and thoughts for such a sustained period of time. every character and companion is so three-dimensional, fully voice acted, and accounts for the hundreds of decisions you could make in any single given playthrough.

also holy shit this game has opened my eyes to the crpg genre. this game was the gateway drug and has me extremely interested in the original fallout and other games of this genre.

overall, good game would recommend.

This game is special. I dropped 150 hours into just one playthrough and couldn't stop thinking about what I would do next time. The combat is truly excellent with many fights requiring me to use every option at my disposal, at least on tactician difficulty. The social aspects and exploration are also top-notch and are setting a new industry standard. I felt really connected to this party and enjoyed getting to know them. However, there are so many little things that irked me throughout. Certain questlines and romance paths have such specific triggers that you have to hit with no way of knowing what you need to do. Like I wanted to romance Karlach, but because I didn't talk to a random NPC in the corner of a large settlement before clearing the goblin camp I was completely locked out, EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN FIND AND TALK TO THAT GUY LATER. Friendly npcs would constantly walk into my area of effect spells or even just terrain effects and then aggro onto me causing me to have to not use some builds just because of the dumb ai. Characters would consistently get caught on random objects when jumping, causing it to end early even though the game told me that the jump would succeed. Some party members were clearly given more things to do in the story and their own personal quests, meaning that some feel a little out of place. There are tons of these little things that were frustrating, but I can't give this game anything lower than a 10. The fact that a 100-hour crunchy number turn-based rpg based on Dungeons and Dragons was able to see mainstream appeal is insane and a true testament to how good this game is. It is a truly special and unique experience.
