It's everything you've heard. And more.
When looking at the RPG genre, most people will agree that the best aspects are, well, the roleplaying. Being able to create your own character and be immersed into a fully realised world is the truest form of the escapism that video games can provide us.
And while Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't invent some magic new system that will "change RPGs forever", it instead decides to focus on making sure the delivery of that immersion is as polished yet still vast as a Dungeons and Dragons game can be within the limits of video games.
I get that it isn't for everyone. D&D isn't for everyone and that's okay, if you are reading this and you didn't enjoy it then that is okay. But the quality of content here is indisputable and it is absolutely worth trying out at least once. Larian has poured so much love into this and you can see it in the voice acting, the music, the combat, and every little small detail that you'll miss initially which reignites your desire for another playthrough.
