to many choices, maybe later
The Ultimate Videogame Experience.
It's a miracle how this game exists, the amount of freedom of choice the game gives to the player, the depth of the writing, the very enjoyable turn based gameplay and all the hidden details and side stories make this game an absolute masterpiece like no other.
This is honestly the best and deepest Role Playing Game I've played to date, the amount of content is staggering, it's a huge journey full of surprises, and every quest has multiple outcomes, which is genuinely insane.
The overarching plot is actually somewhat simple and even predictable, but what makes it even better is how there are tons of optional quests that are connected to it and retroactively affect the events that are happening in the main storyline, which is divided into 3 Acts.
Act 1 is the most polished and fresh part of the game, it's huge and almost feels like an actual Open World game, Act 2 is shorter and more linear, but also emphasizes on the main plot way more and has some interesting twists and turns along the way, and then Act 3 is similar to the first Act, it's full of content, and concludes the story based on the player's choices throughout their entire journey.
The best way to experience it is by interacting with the world and doing as many quests as you can, you can change the story massively because almost every choice counts.
As for the characters, they are so well written and interesting, every character in the game has their own story to tell, their own struggles and motivations, this game is honestly full of side stories that you don't want to miss.
It's worth playing through at least two or three times, because there is just so much content that you can easily miss on your first playthrough, and the different classes make the game even more replayable.
Baldur's Gate 3 truly is one of the best videogames I've ever played, it's a beautiful piece of art that managed to blow my mind multiple times, it made me think about my actions, laugh, or even cry, but ultimately, it made me fall in love with it.
Final Rating: "Masterpiece" ~ 10/10.

que jogo perfeito, eu te amo umbralma, eu te amo karlach, você é muito ♥♥♥♥ gale. TODOS os personagens tem um desenvolvimento ótimo. Essa foi uma das melhores histórias que eu ja vi em qualquer obra de entreterimento, plot twists MUITO bons. MUITOS detalhes, pra quem gosta de ler tudo sobre os itens esse jogo é perfeito. cenários lindos, arte linda, escolhas òtimas, esse jogo é perfeito
It's really, really good, but it does have its flaws. If you're a CRPG fan, though, you're going to love it.
!!SAVE FILE CORRUPTED!! I was like halfway past the centerpoint of the middle of the game too, entering the very beginning of third act territory.
I hated Astarion so much, I killed him and threw him into the river, and I was planning on reviving him at the very like last moment of the game to see if anything would sequence break or be unique.

Back in the 2000s some people were imagining how good things would be in the future. Some people hoped we would get robot servants, flying cars, but we didn't get those.
Some other people hoped that we would get a PERFECT Dungeons & Dragons video game where you could control your characters exactly how you would want them to like you would in your head in a perfectly meshed environment where characters and monsters come to life and you're able to interact with all of this in any way your wildest dreams can imagine. Whoever those people are, you need to dream me getting a million dollars.

This is the first game in a LONG while that actually feels next-gen. Not necessarily in terms of graphics, but all the different things you can do. The gameplay, characters and atmosphere are all superb, to the point where it doesn't even feel real.
You can _____ (insert literally anything you can think of) in this game.
I promised myself to finish this game AT LEAST THIS YEAR.
Was enjoying it until the gay mage dude tried to sexually assault my character, and my PC is a piece of crap with no ssd so it takes ages to load.
I'll try it again in a couple of years.

No wonder it was the game of the year. This shit is just plain awesome.
The game radiates charm throughout. No matter if you want to just appreciate the story and the world within the game or if you want to just be a genocidal maniac like me, the game gives you surprising amount of freedom to make your own story.
Played it with my friends and the four of us just kept messing around all the time. We ended up killing almost everyone we encountered, slaughtering all the way to the Elder Brain. We killed so many people that the room before the final battle was completely empty lol.
We even brought that cursed corpse Victoria along with us and threw it right in the face of the Elder Brain. If that doesn't count as a challenge run I don't know what is.
Will play it again to achieve the good ending.

O jogo que mergulhei mais profundamente na minha vida adulta, desde a preparação pesquisando algumas mecânicas, builds, e um contexto pra chegar mais preparado. E isso se manteve na gameplay em si, fascinante como esse game te incentiva a explorar e a desbravar o desconhecido, tantos povos diferentes, locais, missões, itens, sua fome pra conhecer mais desse mundo não é saciada, esse universo pulsa vida a todo instante.
E um destaque especial pra Karlach, ela é muito preciosa!

Would love to play it again because I just scratched the surface of the game, but I sadly have so many Story games that I have to play that I need to wait I bit more
I remember attempting to play Baldur’s Gate II years ago and absolutely hating the experience. I have the sense that I wasn’t the brightest of kids, or if I was just super confused by the obtuse mechanics of the game (according to my kid mind). Years later (and well into my 20s) I saw that Baldur’s Gate III had released and had no idea that the game had been even been in open beta for a bit. I decided to try it and I have to say that i felt just like the little confused kid that couldn’t quite understand what was going on. It’s funny because RPGs are my favorite type of games, but having the game be based on a lot of DND mechanics was kind of off putting for me - until a couple of hours in the game clicked incredibly hard and filled my brain with so much dopamine that I almost passed out. A totally insane experience that made me feel many feelings and reinforce my relationship with my inner child.
This game should not exist. And even if it does it should not be this good. And yet here it is, and damn is it good.
You can be a giant stupid orc while your friend plays a tiny stupid gnome and you can both be really stupid together. I like that
An impressive RPG campaign with a feature requested by many for years - online co-op. The UI has a bit of a learning curve, and the writing is more than a bit milquetoast and tropey.
The best "real" RPG with meaningful choices I've played, which takes place in the D&D universe. While your companions seem to just be horndogs they do have very real personalities that progress at a good pace if you give them the time and opportunity to do so.
The combat can be super complex but you don't need to be a multiclassing super-soldier to beat the game. Would recommend to anyone who likes or is willing to play turn based combat and looking for some rad RPG adventures.

I didn't get romance shadowheart. But still peak game
KARLACH IS SOO FUCKING HOOTTTTTTTTTTT HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. anyways this game is amazing. having spent about 100 hours on my first playthrough and having started several more. it just takes everything fun about D&D and puts it into a video game. the characters are ACTUALLY interesting and the amount of true options you have still boggles my brain. there is a reason it won so many awards
It's weird to be that person who could never get into turn-based combat, bounced off most other CRPGs they've tried, never played DnD, and rarely ever replays games (and never back to back), but then Baldur's Gate 3 comes along and not only smashes each one of those barriers down, but becomes unequivocally their favourite game ever. It's just that good.
The appeal here for me was the similarities I saw to Bioware RPGs, which were the games that made you feel like you weren't just a lone hero with a bunch of stragglers tagging along to help, but like you were a group of adventurers (or space soldiers) coming together to take down the Big Bad because there was something in it for all of you. They had developed personalities, their own goals and values, opinions about one another, fun banter, and most importantly, they had agency.
That's exactly what BG3 delivers, but on top of that, there's also amazing mechanics that enable creative thinking (both in and out of combat), an interesting and dense world to explore, fantastic music, great characters (Auntie Ethel and Raphael are the best), and incredibly talented voice work and writers to breathe life into it all. No game is flawless, sure, but to me, BG3 is damn near close. It's top-notch in every possible way and I'm glad I took a gamble on it, because it absolutely paid dividends.

Absolutely amazing game. Great character writing and a fun overall story. When I finally finished the game I was sobbing like a baby, and felt utterly changed.
Is it flawed? Sure it is. The pathfinding was atrocious on release, I can't count how many times my characters and NPCs died by walking into clouds of daggers and pools of fire after combat had already ended. Act 3 also isn't quite as strong as the rest of the game, which you can really see with some quests, while Gale's, Karlach's and Wyll's personal quests don't really have a satisfactory conclusion.
All of this pales though in comparison to how incredible everything else is. This game is a colossal achievement, a fucking miracle. Quality and passion ooze out of it. There's so much to do, so much to replay, there's so much voice acting and not a single weak performance, Raphael is a loser piss-boy and an absolute delight whenever he appears on screen, THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL SO HOT DEAR LORD
and i still haven't done a dark urge run yet
